If this happens, you can either close and reopen your BitLife app before retrying or accept your fate and escape prison before completing the task.

As you visit the gym, you'll occasionally get pop-up messages asking if you want to ask someone on a date. Accept the request if they're your type, and keep your relationship stats high until you're ready to marry them. From here, it's just a matter of making enough money to buy a ring, pop the big question, and host a wedding. You'll then be married to someone you met at the gym, knocking out the final objective of the challenge and rewarding you with a mystery cosmetic gift.
