The 30 Day Love Challenge, Day by Day
Day 1: Favorite Things Questionnaire & Love Quest Survey
Kick things off by cuddling up together and filling out a Favorite Things Questionnaire and Love Quest Survey — jotting down each other’s favorite foods, songs, memories, and little wishes. You’ll both learn something new and set a sweet tone for the month ahead.
Day 2: Sexy Survey
Take a playful, flirty survey to figure out exactly what your spouse craves. Fill out the printable questionnaire about your intimate likes and wishes, then trade answers for a fun, revealing night in.
Day 3: Flirty Love Texts
Send your spouse a fun, flirty text today — no printable needed, just your phone. Pick whichever of these five love-language-inspired messages fits your sweetheart best:
- Words of affirmation: Send ten texts through the day, each one naming a different reason you love them.
- Gifts: Hide a little treat in their car or bag, then text a clue to go find it.
- Quality time: Text a “coupon” good for one hour of uninterrupted time together, no phones or distractions.
- Acts of service: Message them first thing offering to take one thing off their plate today.
- Physical touch: Send a flirty “pick a number/color” game that hints at what’s waiting for them tonight.
Day 4: Netflix Binge Date
Set up a cozy Netflix binge date with your sweetheart. Pick a series you’re both into, pile up the snacks, and between episodes trade conversation-starter questions to keep the connection going. No prep beyond the remote and a blanket.
Day 5: Favorite Drink & a Love Note
Surprise your sweetie with their favorite drink — a slushie, soda, coffee, or milkshake — and attach a quick love note. The free printable has a tag to match every kind of drink, so it takes about five minutes.
Day 6: Sexy Tic-Tac-Toe
Spice up the night with a one-of-a-kind game of Sexy Tic-Tac-Toe. Print the board, set the stakes, and enjoy some playful one-on-one time with your spouse.
Day 7: Spouse Scattergories Game Night
Enjoy a fresh spin on the classic game of Scattergories — except every category is all about your spouse. Print the cards, set a timer, and see how well you really know each other.
Day 8: Service Coupon
Lift a little weight off your spouse’s shoulders. Have them fill out the printable service coupon with the one chore or task they’ve been dreading — then take it off their plate with a smile.
Day 9: Lyric Love Letters
Surprise your spouse with a love letter built from the words of your favorite love songs paired with pretty designs. Find the printable lyric love notes (and more) in our love notes collection.
Day 10: Lunch Bag Love
Brighten your sweetie’s day away from home by tucking a love note into their lunch. Grab the printable lunchbox love letters from our love notes collection, fill one in, and slip it in their bag.
Day 11: Library or Bookstore Date
Whether you’re serious bookworms or casual readers, head to your local library or bookstore for a fun, free date. Use the printable scavenger hunt or “double dog dare” cards to make it playful.
Day 12: Nutrition Love Facts Label
Stick a playful “Love Nutrition Facts” label on your spouse’s favorite treat — instead of calories, it lists things like devotion and a daily dose of love. Print it, stick it, and surprise them.
Day 13: Love Violation Ticket
Surprise your sweetheart with an adorable (and free) “Love Violation” ticket. At first glance it looks like they’re in trouble — but read on and it’s a sweet, cheeky treat.
Day 14: If the Shoe Fits Game
Play this hilarious couples game that tests how well you know what your spouse thinks. Each of you grabs a pair of shoes and answers funny “who’s more likely to…” questions by holding up a shoe to vote — you’ll be giggling all night.
Day 15: Menu of Service
Treat your spouse to a printable “menu of service” and let them choose how you’ll spoil them — breakfast in bed, a back rub, a night off from chores. The printable includes versions from both the spouse and the kids.
Day 16: Love Song Surprise
Small things make a big difference. Download a meaningful new love song for your sweetie — one that says what you’re feeling — and cue it up to surprise them the next time they hit play. Just you and a few minutes.
Day 17: Love Postcards
Slip an adorable love postcard into the mail so your spouse finds something wonderful — not just bills. Grab the printable postcards from our love notes collection, add a stamp, and send.
Day 18: Give Them YOU
Tonight, give your spouse the one gift they want most — you. Print the “Gift of You” tags, slip into something special, attach a tag to yourself with a bit of ribbon, and present your sweetie with their favorite surprise.

Leave a few quirky, pun-filled love notes for your spouse — full of silly humor and cute designs. Find the printable punny love notes in our love notes collection.
Day 20: Shower Love Notes
Write a sweet message on the shower wall or door using shower crayons or markers — a fun, surprising new way to pass along a love note. No printable for this one; just grab some shower crayons and get creative.
Day 21: Pillow Talk Printables
Set up a Pillow Talk printable set — a collection of conversation prompts and questions that’ll quickly become a bedtime favorite. Set the phones aside and chat the night away.
Day 22: Spouse’s Choice Date Night
Hand the reins to your sweetheart with a personalized “Spouse’s Choice” date night. Fill out the printable with a few options, tuck it in an envelope, and let them pick — a guaranteed win.

Day 29: Honey-Do List (with a Twist)
