20 Must Read Blogs For Married People
If you’re a regular reader of blogs, it’s pretty apparent that you can read about almost anything you’d like. While the wealth of information available today is impressive, it’s important to take into account the source of the material being produced.
If you frequent Simple Marriage then you must be looking for marriage and relationship ideas, information, and inspiration. Here’s a list of 20 blogs that I think are worth your time. This is not a definitive list – but a list I hope you’ll enjoy and find useful as another tool to improve your life and relationships.
Note: Not all of these blogs are marriage focused, some are husband, dad, mom and/or wife focused. What all these have in common is a life and relationship improvement focus.
Here’s the list in no particular order:
- Zen Habits. Written by Leo Babauta, who covers a range of self-improvement topics from creating new habits to getting in shape to relationships.
- Simple Mom. One of the catch phrases for Simple Mom is “Zen Habits with an apron.” Tsh Oxenreider offers very practical tips and advice for managing life as a mom. And in the name of full disclosure, I write here once a month.
- Through the Illusion. Hayden Tompkins is all about rocking your purpose in order to live an awesome life.
- The Simple Dollar. Written by Trent Hamm, who focuses on financial talk for ordinary people. Full of great tips and advice discovered from personal experiences.
- Lifehacker. This blog is created by a collection of writers and aims to provide great tips and downloads for getting things done. The site can appear a bit chaotic but there’s a lot of good info.
- The Discomfort Zone. If you’re interested in a quirky look at things in the life improvement world, Tim Brownson’s your guy.
- Mom Grind. Vereed DeLeeuw looks to help moms deal with the daily grind of motherhood. But she quickly realized that giving advice bores her - she’d rather ask questions than answer them.
- Art of Manliness. A blog dedicated to uncovering the lost art of being a man. AoM is authored by husband and wife team, Brett and Kate McKay, featuring posts helping men be better fathers, husbands, and men.
- On Simplicity. Sara writes all about creating a happier, easier, more enjoyable life for yourself and enjoying the journey while keeping an eye on the destination.
- A Good Husband. Cory Huff created a place where men can come and discussion real issues in a positive and constructive way.
- Dad-O-Matic. Founded by Chris Brogan, his goal is create a place for dads to share thoughts and ideas about parenting.
- My Super Charged Life. Jeff Nickles writes to help people find success and meaning in their life.
- Building Camelot. A blog about creating happiness, prosperity, safety and a long lasting legacy in your home and family. Written by Tyler Wainright.
- The Bold Life. Tess invites you to think bold, feel bold, and act bold… and live your dream.
- Create a Balance. Stacey Weckstein is dedicated to helping you balance the demands of being everything to everyone while not losing your sense of self, your needs, and your passions in the process.
- Pace and Kyeli. They call themselves alternative relationship coaches and I think what they write on communication is great.
- Writer Dad. Sean Platt is a gifted writer who takes you with him on his journey through life as a husband and dad.
- Love To Spare. Written by Michael Scott, he writes to help draw attention to, celebrate and even inspire acts of extraordinary love.
- Michael and Amy Smalley. Michael and Amy seek to teach people the principles of loving well and loving for a lifetime.
- Simple Marriage. It’s not just because this is where Mary Ann and I write, it’s the only resource I’ve come across specifically designed to assist you in experiencing more in marriage and life. Marriage is about growing up.
Another blog worth mentioning is Marriage Tweets, which posts real-time updates about relationships and marriage news.
Which blogs do you regularly read to improve your relationship and life? I’d love to hear about them in the comments.

I am honored to be included on a list with such great bloggers. You are making me realize that I don’t read relationship blogs on a regular basis, but doing so would help me stay focused on my relationship with my husband.
Great list. Can’t wait to visit this blogs and enjoy. Only problem…
This Marriage Thing didn’t make the list. Hopefully, honest chat and weird questions about midlife and marriage are interesting, too.
Thanks, Dina

@CurioisDina- Sorry I missed you. Thanks for jumping in here and speaking up.
Thanks for the list! There are a lot of interesting sounding blogs on here that I’m not familiar with. I will definitely be checking them out shortly.
Can you imagine my surprise when I saw my own blog listed? Wow! What an honor!
I am humbled and happy to be included in such a warm and loving community. Thank you!
Hi Corey,
Thank you for including MomGrind. I am looking forward to reading several of these blogs. I’m familiar with most of them, but a few are new discoveries. Thank you!
Vered
Wow! These are great additions to my daily read — besides Zen Habits and Lifehacker, these were all new gems. Thanks!
Corey,
Thanks for the mention!
I was surprised to read of a handful of blogs I didn’t already know about. Then again I don’t read blogs regularly so I am surprised that I was surprised and even more surprised that I went to the trouble of posting about it here.
I’ll get my coat and be out of your way now. Thanks again.
Thanks Corey, you have brought up some blogs I didn’t know about. I’ll check them out.
I know why you chose this photo….you little apple man you!
Wow Corey – I’m humbled to be mentioned here along some great other blogs. It’s an honor to be listed among such wonderful writers. I’m off to add many of these to my reader so I don’t miss out on anything!
@Stacey, @Michael, @Vered, @Tim, @Tyler- Thanks for stopping by and for Stumbling this for me. You guys rock.
@Tina- Hope you enjoy the new additions to your reading.
@Laurie- Mac people must stick together.
Great blog and principles for couples who want to grow – making a marriage that will go the miles. Came over by way of Simple Mom. The “simple marriage” caught my eye….as I’m into “simple”…with my simple home living blog. I write passionately about marriage and sometimes men.
As a pastor’s wife – and having been in ministry for 20+ years – to women – I see first hand some of the key reasons why women fail their marriages – and thus – I write in hopes to encourage women to turn and become biblical and understand their specific role in their marriage.
I am SO THRILLED that you added Simple Marriage! SM is such a unique resource for rocking your marriage. Thanks for compiling this fabulous list and double thanks for adding TTi!
great list!
In a click of a button or two I stumbled, digged, tweeted, and de.li.cious the post.
I enjoyed many of your suggestions as well as your previous posts. I just told my wife about your blog and hope she’ll jump on too. Another web site and blog I’ve appreciated is called “Conflict Zen”. Its about dealing with conflict in all its aspects and I’ve found it very helpful being a “conflict avoider” myself. Thanks for the good work.
Thanks Corey! I don’t know all of these, but I will soon. I’m thrilled to be included. From what sites I do know, it’s a well rounded diverse group of blogs which is really great.
Thanks again,
Sean
Oh no! You missed my site!
) That’s okay, these are all great ones too. Love this site by the way. I’m always around, I just rarely comment (bad blogger of me, I know).
Thanks for the list all in one place!

Corey,
I’m glad you bumped this list up with your latest post so I would see it. Fortunately, I already read many of these awesome blogs, including this one! Hopefully, Engaged Marriage will grow to the ranks of those worthy for inclusion in your next list.
Dustin
So glad I found your blog! I love Engaged Marriage (@EngagedMarriage)! I read it almost every day and Dustin is a committed husband and father who speaks honestly.
I would add that to your list and make it “21″ blogs.
Bless your work!
Am so Glad to have come across your wonderful site. Got nothing much to say but i will definately be coming back again and again..
Hi: Great collection of marriage posts. I am on a quest to save a marriage or two. Check out my posting at the link specified. Thank you!
I just stumbled across your blog today and LOVE IT! I’m a huge fan of Zen Habits, too. I can’t wait to check out all the blogs you listed, but there is a great marriage and relationship blog by Joe Beam at http://www.joebeam.com/blog that is fabulous. He also has a Christian sex Q&A blog that you can get to from there.
I’m loving your articles, especially the ones that focus on simplicity. Keep up the great writing!
Great List Corey, but next time you run this list I want you to take a look at my wife and my blog Happily Married After (www.happilymarriedafter.org) and see if you’d like to include us. Thanks
Very comprehensive list. It will take me a while to read through all these blogs. So far I ahve been following projecthappilyeverafter and found that very good. Thanks, Stefan
Great list! I’m excited to dive into these blogs. I’m new to the marriage blog scene and some of these are new to me.
xoxo,
Gwen
thanks for the great list!
