Real stories. Real growth. One small habit at a time.

Welcome to the Life in Tandem blog—a space where we share the breakthroughs, belly laughs, and honest moments that come with showing up for your relationship on purpose.

Each post is a window into how our monthly challenges are going—for us and our community. You'll find reflections from the front lines of reconnection, encouragement from other couples, and the real talk we all wish someone else would say out loud first.

This is where the fun, the messy, and the hopeful all live together.

Because progress doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be together.

Reclaiming Connection: The Tech-Free Time Challenge

Sometimes the hardest part of parenting isn’t managing the schedules—it’s putting down the screens. The Tech-Free Time Challenge was created to help families step away from devices and step back into connection. With one simple prompt each day and companion Tandem Talks podcast episodes on Spotify, you’ll rediscover how fun, laughter, and presence can transform your home. This isn’t about ditching technology forever—it’s about creating rhythms that make your marriage and family stronger.

Screens are everywhere—our pockets, our purses, our nightstands, even our dinner tables. And while technology can connect us, it can also quietly steal our attention from the people who matter most.

We know what it feels like to sit in the same room with family, everyone on their own device, and realize… we’re together, but not really together. That ache for more presence and more fun is what inspired the Tech-Free Time Challenge.


Why This Challenge Matters

Life is busy. Phones make it easy to numb out, “check out,” or just scroll through the noise. But our kids, our spouses, and even our own hearts are craving something different. They’re craving real connection.

The Tech-Free Time Challenge helps you:

  • Break free from constant scrolling so you can actually rest.

  • Create fun, screen-free moments that turn into memories.

  • Strengthen your marriage and family bonds without distractions.


What You Can Expect

For 30 days, you’ll get one daily prompt designed to spark fun, laughter, and connection—without a single screen.

Think:

  • Trying a new game as a family.

  • Going for a tech-free walk together.

  • Setting aside phones at the dinner table for real conversation.

  • Choosing one night a week to replace TV time with something creative.

And if you want to go deeper, tune into our Tandem Talks episodes on Spotify where we unpack the “why” behind this challenge. We’ll share our own struggles with screen time, the simple shifts that made the biggest difference, and how you can build rhythms that last.


The Results

Families who step into tech-free rhythms notice:

  • Kids opening up more.

  • Couples laughing together again.

  • A home that feels calmer and more connected.

The magic isn’t in a big lifestyle overhaul. It’s in small, intentional choices—repeated daily.
