Our verdict
“The most polished marriage program on the app store, just without any Christian framing.”

Lasting is, on pure craft, the most impressive marriage app in this roundup. Its opening assessment builds a personalized plan, then walks you through bite-size sessions on communication, intimacy, conflict, and forgiveness, supplemented by therapist-led workshops, five-minute guided meditations, and multi-session on-demand retreats. The 4.7-star rating across roughly 25,000 reviews reflects how genuinely useful couples find the experience.

Look elsewhere if

You specifically want scripture-rooted, explicitly Christian content, or you need live counseling with a licensed therapist.

−Subscription runs about $30/month and there is no live therapist messaging
−Content is self-guided only, so it will not replace counseling during a crisis

Common questions

No. It is self-guided with therapist-led workshops and courses, but there is no live messaging or one-on-one therapy inside the app.

It is free to try for 7 days, then about $29.99/month, with cheaper 3- and 6-month plans.

Yes. Partners connect and work through the same personalized plan at their own pace.

For couples wanting a deep, well-designed self-guided program it is excellent, just not if you specifically need Christian content or live counseling.
