In today’s episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron sits down with Dave and Ann Wilson—authors, speakers, and co-hosts of the FamilyLife Today radio show—to talk about the power of words in marriage. After 45 years of marriage, they’ve learned firsthand how speaking life, showing kindness, and embracing humility can radically transform a relationship.

We discuss their new book How to Speak Life to Your Husband and the simple but profound ways encouragement can deepen emotional connection, heal past wounds, and reignite love. Whether you're in a season of joy or struggle, this conversation will give you practical tools to help your marriage thrive.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why the foundation of society is built on strong families
• The power of encouragement and positive affirmation in marriage
• How our upbringing shapes the way we love and communicate
• Why timing matters when discussing sensitive topics
• How transparency and humility lead to healing
• Practical steps for strengthening your relationship today

Whether you’re newly married or decades in, this conversation will remind you of the incredible influence your words have—and how speaking life can change everything.
