À propos de ce contenu audio

Where matrimony meets hilarious reality.

Hosted by Joshua & Ali Spitsbergen, Marriage Made in Heaven isn’t your typical marriage podcast. After 16 years of doing life, love, and ministry together, they're pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like when two become one—biblically, practically, and yes… sometimes embarrassingly.

Each week, they dive into the good, the hard, and the just plain funny of married life—sharing biblical truths, real-life stories, and lessons they’ve learned (sometimes the hard way). From pillow talk confessions to kingdom-minded conversations, this podcast is here to help you build a marriage grounded in grace, rooted in God’s Word, and full of joy—even when it gets messy.

Whether you’re dating, newlywed, or 20 years deep, you’ll laugh, learn, and leave each episode feeling seen, equipped, and a little less alone.

Because this? This is about having a Marriage Made in Heaven—with a whole lot of grace and “Did you seriously just say that?” moments.

    • From Roommates to Partners: How to Reconnect and Strengthen Your Marriage God’s Way
      Dec 4 2025

      If your marriage has started feeling more like roommates managing logistics than partners building a life together, this episode is your fresh start. You don’t need a crisis to begin again, you can reconnect, rebuild, and strengthen your marriage right now, God’s way.

      Today, we’re walking you through the belief shift, the daily habits, and the simple changes that bring passion, connection, and purpose back into your marriage. You can absolutely have a do-over with the spouse you vowed to, and this episode shows you how.

      What We Cover in Today’s Episode

      • The Paradigm Shift That Restores Connection

      Your marriage isn’t a distraction from your calling; it’s your greatest multiplier.
      This single shift will realign your vision, your language, and the energy you bring into your home.

      • Why “Starting Over” Has Nothing to Do with Divorce

      Too many couples think renewal means ending things. But you can rebuild your marriage from the inside with new perspective, new intention, and new habits.

      • The Roommate Trap

      When conversations become transactions…When passion fades into patterns…
      When you feel like co-managers instead of partners, that’s not a sign to give up. It’s a sign to recalibrate.

      The 5 Practical Steps to Reconnect & Strengthen Your Marriage


      1. Language Audit

      Stop speaking death over your marriage (“you always,” “you never”) and start speaking life (“we are,” “we will,” “I appreciate”). Your words shape the atmosphere of your home.

      2. Presence Over Performance

      Give each other 15 minutes of full attention daily. Phones down. Eyes up.
      Connection over accomplishment.

      3. Vision Together

      Ask: “What do we want our marriage to look like in one year? Five years?” A shared vision becomes a shared mission, and it reconnects you at a heart level.

      4. Micro Gestures of Love

      Small things done consistently become big results: a note, a text, a kiss that lasts longer than one second, making the coffee first, touching his shoulder as you walk by. Micro gestures fill the emotional bucket.

      5. Weekly Check-Ins

      Date nights aren’t a luxury, they’re a lifeline. Ask each other: “How are we doing?”
      “What do you need more of from me right now?” These questions rebuild intimacy, trust, and understanding.

      If You Feel Disconnected… You’re Not Alone

      Most couples don’t fall apart because of one event; they drift from little things left unattended. The good news? Reconnection starts with just one intentional shift today.

      Start here:

      Take 15 minutes tonight to be fully present with your spouse.
      No agenda. No distractions.
      Just connection.

      It’s amazing what God can rebuild when you give Him room to move.

    • What You Believe About Marriage Is What You Build
      Nov 26 2025

      What you believe about your marriage is what you will eventually build.

      In business, you already know this.
      You believe you’ll hit the goal, so you plan, you act, you stretch, you invest.

      But in marriage?
      So many leaders quietly lower the bar:

      • “Marriage is just hard.”
      • “This is just how it is now.”
      • “We’re too busy for more.”
      • “The passion always fades.”

      And then they wonder why their home life feels flat, distant, or disconnected.

      In this episode, we’re talking about belief, mindset, and the words you speak over your marriage and how they are actively building (or breaking) what you experience at home.

      If your marriage is just an afterthought, your beliefs will reflect it. If you believe a marriage made in heaven is possible, you will start to build like it is.

      In this episode, we talk about:

      • Why your marriage is a mirror of your mindset
      • The hidden limiting beliefs that quietly sabotage connection
      • Common scripts like “you can’t have both a thriving business and a marriage”
      • Why no amount of effort can outrun a broken belief system
      • How to “remodel” a marriage by rebuilding on a firm foundation in Christ
      • The power of choosing to serve, not compare
      • Why information alone isn’t enough – you need implementation
      • How digital distraction is stealing intimacy (and what to do about it)
      • Practical boundaries for phones, screens, and “dead scroll” time
      • Why intentional things like family dinners, walks, and workouts together matter
      • How your words can shift the atmosphere in your home

      We share real stories from our own journey, the times we had to admit,
      “Okay, our belief has slipped below heaven’s standard here,” and how changing our mindset started changing our marriage.

      You’ll be challenged to:

      • Stop repeating cultural scripts about “normal” marriage
      • Catch yourself when you speak small about your spouse or your relationship
      • Flip the script and start speaking life, vision, and possibility
      • Treat your marriage with the same faith, belief, and intentionality you bring to your business
      • Ask: What would change if I really believed we could have a marriage made in heaven?

      Behind every great marriage, there is intention, belief, and effort.
      It doesn’t “just happen.” It’s built, brick by brick, through the thoughts you think, the words you speak, and the actions you take.

      We don’t want you settling for average.
      We believe you can build extraordinary.
      And it starts with what you believe.

      We love you; we’re cheering you on, and we’re so honored to walk this out with you.

    • Self-Control in Marriage: How Taking Responsibility Can Transform Your Relationship
      Nov 20 2025

      If we’re honest… it’s a whole lot easier to point the finger than it is to look in the mirror. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned in marriage, it’s this:

      Relationships don’t fall apart because of big blowups.
      They fall apart when no one takes responsibility.

      In today’s episode, we’re tackling two of the most underrated (but most transformative) marriage skills:

      Self-control and self-awareness.

      Not the fluffy, feel-good kind.
      The biblical, fruit-of-the-Spirit kind that reshapes how you think, how you talk, how you respond, and how you love.

      Inside this conversation, we’re breaking down:

      • Why self-control is the secret ingredient to a thriving marriage
      • How self-awareness disarms conflict and invites healing
      • The danger of reacting instead of responding
      • Why taking ownership (even when it’s hard) unlocks breakthrough
      • How resentment builds walls and how humility tears them down
      • Why peace is a choice, not a personality trait
      • What “WIN” (What’s Important Now) looks like in real-life marriage decisions
      • How your daily habits impact your emotional and spiritual health
      • Why self-control is not weakness, it’s spiritual maturity

      We share real stories, real struggles, and real shifts we’ve made in our own marriage, the moments we had to swallow our pride, humble ourselves, and say the words no one likes to say:

      “I was wrong. I’m sorry. How can I be better?”

      When you stop demanding perfection from your spouse and start taking responsibility for your own actions, everything changes.


      Trust deepens.
      Peace returns.
      Your marriage becomes a place of safety instead of stress.

      And yes, we talk about how practical things like health, habits, schedule overload, and even working out (yep, we go there) play a huge role in keeping your nervous system regulated so you can show up as the best version of yourself.

      Healthy marriages aren’t built on perfection.
      They’re built on responsibility.
      They’re built on humility.
      They’re built on self-control.

      This episode will challenge you, stretch you, and encourage you because a marriage made in heaven is absolutely possible, and it starts with the choices you make today.

      We love you.
      We’re cheering for you.
      And we’re grateful to walk this journey alongside you.
