In this episode of the Marriage After God Podcast, we discuss God’s design for marriage and the biblical roles of husbands and wives outlined in Ephesians 5. We talk about how love and submission aren’t about control or hierarchy, but about trust, humility, and serving one another the way Christ serves us.

Husbands are called to love their wives sacrificially, and wives are called to respect and submit to their husbands. When both spouses walk in obedience to God’s design, marriage becomes a place of safety, unity, and deeper intimacy. We pray this episode is an encouragement for living out these roles daily and reminds you that love is more than a feeling — it’s a choice we make every day.

In this episode-

• God clearly defines the roles of husbands and wives in Scripture
• Love is an action and a daily choice — not just an emotion
• Wives are called to submit to their own husbands as an act of trust in God
• Husbands are commanded to love sacrificially like Christ loves the Church
• Submission is a posture of the heart, not weakness
• Leadership in marriage looks like service and selflessness
• Healthy communication helps couples live out their roles well
• Mutual respect strengthens connection and trust
• Obedience to God’s design leads to greater security and intimacy
• Small, practical acts of love build a thriving marriage

In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron sits down with J. Parker to talk about a topic many couples struggle to discuss openly — sex and intimacy in marriage. J. shares how she began writing anonymously about sexual intimacy in Christian marriage after realizing there were very few safe, honest resources for couples wrestling with mismatched sex drives and unspoken frustration.

Together, we explore how intimacy is deeply connected to the overall health of a marriage, why communication is essential in navigating sexual challenges, and how humor and honesty can help break the shame and taboo surrounding these conversations. This conversation offers encouragement, perspective, and practical hope for couples seeking greater connection in their marriage.

In this episode we discuss–

• Open conversation about sex is vital for healthy marital intimacy.
• Intimacy in marriage is connected to emotional and relational health.
• Sex is a spiritual act designed to reflect God’s covenant love.
• Couples must approach sexual challenges as teammates, not adversaries.
• God cares about every aspect of your marriage — including intimacy.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of putting on the armor of God and how it impacts our daily lives and marriages. Scripture reminds us that our battle is not against each other, but against spiritual forces of darkness, which means we need God’s strength, His truth, and His righteousness to stand firm.

We walk through several pieces of the armor—like the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, and the shoes of the gospel of peace—and discuss what they practically look like in a Christian marriage. When we anchor ourselves in truth, guard our hearts with righteousness, and cling to the peace that comes from the gospel, we are better equipped to resist temptation, overcome fear, and cultivate unity in our relationship.

Our hope is to remind couples that God has already given us everything we need to stand strong—we simply need to put it on daily.

In this episode-

• The armor of God is essential for spiritual protection in marriage.
• Each piece has a purpose—and understanding that purpose helps us stand firm.
• We must rely on God’s strength, not our own.
• Truth fosters unity, vulnerability, and trust in marriage.
• Putting on God’s armor daily helps us build a Christ-centered marriage.

In this episode Aaron sits down with marriage expert Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, to talk about the heart behind lasting marriages—and why love must be expressed with humility, grace, and the attitude of Christ.

Drawing from over 60 years of marriage, decades of pastoral counseling, and the lessons that shaped his life’s work, Dr. Chapman shares how early conflict in his own marriage led him to a transformative encounter with God that forever changed the way he loved his wife. Together, Aaron and Gary explore how love languages can heal—or harm—when used incorrectly, and why serving your spouse must always come before trying to change them.

This episode also introduces Dr. Chapman’s newest book, The Love Language That Matters Most, which goes deeper into the dialects of love languages, personality differences, and the dangers of using love as manipulation instead of sacrifice.

In this episode we discuss–

• Long-term marriage faithfulness
• Biblical foundations for loving your spouse
• Servant leadership in marriage
• Avoiding manipulation through love languages
• Why humility changes everything in relationships

Today on the Marriage After God podcast, we talk about what it means to live according to God’s economy in our marriage. Money is one of the most common areas of tension for couples, yet Scripture calls us to approach our finances with trust, generosity, and open hands.

We share personal experiences of walking through financial uncertainty and how God used those seasons to shift our perspective. Instead of holding tightly to what we had, we learned to trust God as our provider and see generosity as an act of faith. God’s economy doesn’t always align with the world’s expectations, but it consistently leads to freedom and joy.

When couples commit to a shared, biblical view of money, finances become less about control and more about stewardship. Trusting God together with our resources strengthens unity in marriage and reminds us that everything we have ultimately belongs to Him.

In this episode-

• God’s economy calls us to trust Him rather than rely on money.
• Finances can create tension in marriage without a shared biblical perspective.
• Holding money with open hands reflects faith and surrender to God.
• Generosity brings joy and deepens trust in God’s provision.
• Stewardship begins with recognizing that all we have belongs to God.
