Making Time Count In Your Marriage

Show notes

About This Episode Everyone has the same amount of time in a day, yet many of us have lost a healthy perspective on how we use it. Aaron and Jennifer discuss how valuing time correctly makes us more effective in the ministry God has for our marriages. We can't actually make time; we can only sacrifice one thing to capture time for another. They talk honestly about wasting time on social media, the comparison trap, and the pressure to hurry, and they look at how Jesus withdrew to pray and what Ephesians 5 says about making the best use of the time. Do we need to slow down? And what does God's Word say about our time?

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 You can't make time — you can only trade one thing for another. Finite people — living within 24 hours a day. Social media — how scrolling quietly steals our time. The comparison trap — building an impossible "perfect person" from many people's feeds. Jesus withdrew to pray — the example of Luke 5. Redeem the time — Ephesians 5:15-16 and walking wisely. Stop hurrying your kids — the shoe-tying moment. Yes and no — evaluating what deserves your time. Lay it at His feet — giving your to-do list to the Lord.

Scripture Referenced Luke 5 Ephesians 5:15-16
