232: Struggles In Intimacy, Resenting Spouses Debt, Homeschool On The Road // Aaron and Jen Smith

Aaron and Jennifer Smith’s love story is one of resilience, faith, and a passion for strengthening marriages. Since marrying in 2007, they overcame challenges with God’s help and founded the online ministries HusbandRevolution.com and UnveiledWife.com in 2011. Through these online ministries, they share their own journey and offer daily encouragement to couples. Together, they have coauthored several books, including 31 Prayers for My Future Husband, 31 Prayers for My Future Wife, Marriage After God, and their latest book, The Marriage Gift. Aaron and Jennifer’s dedication to their mission extends to their Marriage After God podcast and online resources at marriageaftergod.com. They embody the power of love, faith, and determination, inspiring countless individuals and couples on their marriage and faith journeys. They live with their five young children, whom they homeschool, in central Oregon. Listen today as Aaron and Jen talk about activities to do as a family, paying off school debt, communication in marriage, praying with your spouse and more. Aaron said - “Couples need to realize that their marriage has a heavenly purpose. Your union and oneness is a light to this world. It’s proclaiming a message. What message is it proclaiming? Is is one of disunity, bitterness or one of separate lives? Is it one of unity, love and pointing people to Christ using your marriage, your love for each other and your children, the way you operate your home, in the way your use your resources, and talents and time for Him? If marriages would recognize that this is what they are together for, to glorify Him in the way they love each other, they would start to see the world and their spouse through that lens. You would start to define all your issues, conflicts and struggles through that lens then through ‘I’m not happy,’ ‘you’re not making me happy,’ which is very purposeless. It’s very one-sided.” Previous podcast with Aaron & Jen - "What is a Marriage After God? –Aaron and Jen Smith" - https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com/podcasts/now-that-we-re-a-family-10/episodes/2147568027 You can connect and follow with Aaron & Jen Smith through the links below: Website: https://marriageaftergod.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marriage-after-god/id1349500084 Purchase their new book: www.themarriagegift.com Social Media Links: Marriage After God https://www.instagram.com/marriageaftergod/ https://www.facebook.com/marriagesaftergod https://www.youtube.com/c/MarriageAfterGod Jennifer Smith https://www.facebook.com/unveiledwife https://www.instagram.com/unveiledwife/ Aaron Smith https://www.facebook.com/HusbandRevolution https://www.instagram.com/husbandrevolution/ - Marriage Maximizer - Build A Masterpiece Marriage Whether you have been married for 30 years, or are just starting out on the adventure of a lifetime, this course is for you! https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com/Marriage-Maximizer Free webinar: https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com/marriage-maximizer-learn-more-1 - Top 5 Tuesday Join our weekly email list to keep up to date with the highlights of what is going on in our family life. https://www.nowthatwereafamily.com/top-5-tuesday-newletter - Looking for more Now That We're A Family resources?
