How To Have A Strong Marriage After Having Kids

Show notes

About This Episode Many of the questions that come in from listeners and viewers are about having a healthy biblical marriage after children, so Aaron and Jennifer took a handful of them and answered them in this episode. They share from their own life of learning to walk with each other while raising three children with another on the way, and bring in Scripture to help couples see their marriage rightly with kids in the mix. It starts with believing children are a blessing, not a burden, and keeping the right order in the home. From there, they get practical about intimacy, date nights, routines, and building prayer into your day with small, sustainable baby steps before busy seasons hit.

About Aaron & Jennifer Smith Aaron and Jennifer Smith are the founders of Marriage After God and authors of Husband After God, Wife After God, and Marriage After God. Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.

In This Episode Children are a blessing — why Psalm 127 calls them a heritage from the Lord, not a burden The right family order — Christ first, then your spouse, then your children, then everyone else Intimacy with little ones — keeping it a priority when life gets full Strength from God — leaning on Isaiah 40 when you're weary Weekly date night — why it needs to go on the calendar A consistent nightly routine — protecting time for your marriage Coupling prayer — attaching prayer to habits you already have Baby steps — making small, sustainable changes before busy seasons hit
