このコンテンツについて

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.

  • Communication, Conflict & Intimacy: Real Talk for a Thriving Marriage
    2025/07/10

    00:00 – Welcome Back!

    10:30 – Divine Order in Decision-Making
    Why submitting major decisions to God—and each other—creates peace in the home. Ali shares what changed when she stopped pushing ahead without Joshua’s covering.

    Ali opens up about losing her first business and how giving Joshua financial leadership helped bring restoration, clarity, and unity.

    15:30 – Servanthood vs. Selfishness
    A biblical lens on communication: laying down your life, not proving your point.

    17:20 – Walk it Out (Literally)
    Joshua shares his go-to strategy for emotional regulation before tough conversations: walking, praying, and reframing.

    18:40 – Out-Serve Each Other
    The simple marriage principle from their premarital counseling that still shapes their communication today.

    20:15 – Letting Go of Stubbornness
    Ali shares how surrender, patience, and Spirit-led restraint softened her strong personality and strengthened their unity.

    22:00 – Let’s Talk About Sex (Yes, Really)
    Why open communication around sexual needs matters—and how couples can avoid disconnect, temptation, and unmet expectations.

    24:00 – Don’t Go to Bed Angry
    The rule they live by, rooted in Scripture: resolve conflict before sleep and never let little wedges build into big gaps.

    25:30 – Final Word: Soft Answers & Celebrating Growth
    A closing encouragement to give grace, celebrate progress, and commit to growing in communication—together.
