FREE MARRIAGE CHALLENGE

In a world full of noise, it’s easy to lose connection — with God, your spouse, and even yourself.


The Presence Pledge
is an intentional 8-week commitment for couples who are ready to silence the distractions and restore sacred connection. It’s not about adding more to your to-do list — it’s about making space for what matters most.

What is the presence pledge?

It’s a simple, powerful agreement to become more present — with God, your spouse, and your family.

Over 8 weeks, we’ll walk you through practical steps, biblical principles, and life-giving habits to help you experience intimacy like never before — emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

Start anytime collectively we're beginning April 15, 2025

WHAT YOU'LL COMMIT TO:

1. No phone usage for two hours after waking and two hours before bed.

2. No phones in bed — devices must be at least 5 feet away from where you sleep.

3. Daily morning check-ins with God and your spouse. Creating sacred space for uninterrupted conversation and connection.

4. Weekly podcast teachings to guide your growth.

5. Permission to fail — and begin again. Because presence is a posture, not perfection.

Our Podcast, "Needed Conversations with Ryan and Viktoriya Cole" will be your weekly guide through the Presence Pledge.


Every week during the 8-week journey, we’ll release a new episode designed to equip and encourage you as a couple. These aren’t surface-level talks — we’re diving into the real issues that distract and divide us, and helping you build habits that restore emotional, spiritual, and physical connection.

Are You Ready?

From Genesis to the Gospels, we see a God who walks with us — in gardens, in valleys, in stillness.

Marriage was meant to be lived that way too.

Each week we’ll explore what the Bible says about presence, distraction, intimacy, and covenant — and how you can apply it to your everyday rhythms.

The Presence Pledge

A commitment to being fully present—with God and each other—over the next 8 weeks.

We recognize that real intimacy—spiritual, emotional, and physical—can only flourish when we are fully present. In a world full of distractions, we are choosing a better rhythm: one that nourishes our connection, restores our peace, and invites God into the center of our marriage.

We’re not aiming for perfection—we’re aiming for presence. If we miss a day, we won’t quit. We’ll pick it back up and keep moving forward together.

Our Commitments:

  1. We will prioritize presence over distractions. We will remove unnecessary noise and choose what feeds our connection.

  2. We commit to:
    - No phones 2 hours before bed and 2 hours after waking up
      (Example: If we wake at 7AM and sleep at 10PM, then no phones from 8PM–9AM)
    - No phones in bed
      Our devices will stay at least 5 feet away from the bed—far enough to resist scrolling, close enough to hear the alarm.

  3. We will create intentional rhythms of connection:
    - Daily morning check-in (even just 5–10 minutes)
    - Evening wind-down together (prayer, conversation, or reflection)

  4. We will not be legalistic, but we will be intentional. If we fail or slip up, we won’t give up—we’ll restart with grace.

  5. We are inviting God into the center of our marriage. We will seek His presence daily—individually and together—and allow His Word to lead us.
