Marriage After God

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.

Our hope is to encourage every couple to practice forgiveness as a daily reflection of God’s mercy toward us.
