Our Favorite Parenting & Marriage Resources - Part 1

Show notes

About This Episode Marriage resources played an invaluable role in helping our marriage grow into what it is today. In part one of this series we share the books and websites that transformed the way we saw our marriage, our sex life, and the way we communicate, including resources that helped us in our struggles with sexual intimacy and porn addiction. We start with the one resource we should fill ourselves with most, the Bible, then walk through Wired for Intimacy, No More Headaches, Sacred Marriage, Experiencing God, and the Weekend to Remember conference. We also talk about friends' ministries we love and the power of real-life relationships. Investing in your marriage with fresh perspective will challenge you to grow in the role God has given you.

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 The Bible first — Why the ESV Bible is the resource we should fill ourselves with the most. Wired for Intimacy — How William Struthers' book helped Aaron walk free from pornography. No More Headaches — How Juli Slattery's book reframed sexual intimacy for Jennifer. Sacred Marriage and Experiencing God — Two books that shaped how we see marriage and walking with God. Weekend to Remember — The FamilyLife conference that helped save our marriage. Friends in ministry — Fierce Marriage, Beating 50 Percent, Matthew and Lisa Jacobson, and more.
