Regardless of your marriage concerns, many of the following 5 apps will help you build a strong foundation for a loving, long-term marriage…

1. Honey Do! ($0.99 – iPhone)

Creating a ‘Honey Do’ list for your forgetful husband or wife can take a lot of anxiety out of your committed relationship or marriage. The Honey Do! app lets you create to-do notes—for instance, “Honey, please remember to bring home some milk”—and send them out (via text) to your absentminded amour. And you can organize your to-dos from your honey’s to-dos thanks to this app’s robust interface that allows you to send reminders, view who is responsible for what task, and modify existing tasks say if you get swept off on a romantic, last-minute vacation.

2. Date Smart ($1.99 – for iPhone)

There’s a time in every marriage when you’ve explored every museum, seen every new movie in the theaters, and established that you’ll never eat raw fish (sashimi) again! Once you’re fresh out of date ideas, the Date Smart app can save your “same-old” dinner and a movie date night by spicing it up with something new. You can search dates by category—for instance, outdoors, romantic night in, special occasion, double date, or cultural—and Date Smart will locate the perfect spot using GPS for your next date. Impress your special someone, regardless of if it’s your first or 450th date night as a married couple! View Post
