We are so excited to announce something new for the Marriage After God podcast! Over the next 30 weeks, we’ll be walking through our very first devotionals—Husband After God and Wife After God.

This series is designed to help you and your spouse:

• Draw closer to God together
• Strengthen your relationship through Scripture and prayer
• Engage in honest conversations about marriage and faith
• Discover God’s purpose for your marriage

Even if you don’t have a copy of the devotionals, you can still follow along with us each week. But we strongly encourage you to grab the books so you can write notes, answer the discussion questions, and pray through them with your spouse.

👉 You can get your copies here: shop.marriageaftergod.com or on Amazon:

• Husband After God: https://a.co/d/hi4epJp
• Wife After God: https://a.co/d/8A15f2S

We want to challenge you:

1. Commit to joining us each week for the next 30 weeks.
2. Invite your spouse to do this together with you.
3. Ask another couple to join you and walk through the series as a community.

New episodes in this devotional series will be released every Wednesday morning, so think of it as your midweek marriage Bible study. We are praying this journey will be powerful, transformative, and unifying for you and your spouse. Let’s see what God does when we give Him our marriages!
