The Go-To Podcast for Those Who Want To Rebuild Intimacy and Connection in Their Christ Centered Marriage

Has the excitement of your wedding day now faded into the background?
Are you so exhausted that the last thing you want to think about is your marriage?
Do you and your spouse feel like ships passing in the night?

If you’re craving the intimate, connected marriage God has for you, you’ve come to the right place!

We’re April and Aaron Au, marriage coaches with over a decade of experience, who are on the journey to finding God’s best for our marriage while raising two young boys.

We recently heard this wisdom: “If your marriage isn’t growing, it’s dying.” Yikes! That really got our attention! But if you think about it, it’s true. Marriages need direction, purpose and a common vision to thrive. If they don’t, they will inevitably drift apart. When you add the pressures of raising young children and the grind of daily work to the mix, there are even more forces that threaten to pull our marriages apart.

Thankfully, God has a beautiful vision for our marriages. He wants us to cultivate and enjoy intimacy and connection in our marriage. What’s more, God wants to breathe his Spirit and life into our marriages through beautiful encounters with him in prayer and worship.

In this podcast, we’ll learn about:

- Simple, healthy habits that lead to effective communication and intentional conversations
- The assumptions and expectations that can sabotage our marriages
- How community is essential for a connected marriage
- God’s heart to bring healing and wholeness to us, as individuals and as a family

And of course, we’ll dive into all of the fun topics like sex, money, parenting and why you shouldn’t buy a car without talking to your spouse first.

We’ll also have space to encounter God through prayer, worship and reflection through regular episodes called “Thursday Thoughts.”

So join us on this beautiful journey that we call “Living Marriages.”

    097 | If Sex is a Good Gift Why Do I Feel Dirty? with Sheila Wray Gregoire
    Jan 13 2026

    Author Sheila Wray Gregoire has been writing Christian marriage and sex-advice since 2003. But in 2019, she made a shocking discovery about much of the advice that is out there for Christian couples.

    In our wide-ranging conversation with Sheila you'll hear:

    • How Sheila discovered the harm that some best-selling Christian marriage books were causing readers and what she's doing about it
    • How the beauty and intimacy of sex as God created it goes so far beyond intercourse
    • How the message of purity culture was hurtful to so many
    • Why we need to be curious about the marriage resources and advice we take in
    • Why Sheila is hopeful for the future of Christian marriage and the church

    Resources

    You can find Sheila's books, podcasts and blog along with many other incredibly helpful resources at baremarriage.com

    Next Steps

    We feel so honoured and humbled when our listeners reach out for prayer, support and encouragement. We don't have all the answers but we do love praying for others and helping couples find hope and healing for their marriages in Christ's power. If we know of some people or resources that would be a great fit for you, we'll connect you. Get in touch with us! info@livingmarriages.com

    096 | A Prayer For Those Wanting To Take Their Marriage Seriously
    Jan 8 2026

    In episode 95, we shared God's invitation to us and you to start taking our marriages more seriously. We asked what neglect looks like in our marriage and how God might be inviting us to turn that around, what new habits or mindsets he might be asking us to commit to.

    On this Thursday Thought, we take time to reflect on where some of the chaos and fires might be in our marriage and how those might be pointing to signs of neglect in certain areas. We also pray for God's grace, wisdom and strength to understand and pursue what it looks like to start taking our marriages more seriously.

    Next Steps

    We'd love to hear from you how God is inviting you to take yourself and your marriage more seriously this year! Get in touch if you'd like prayer or some accountability: info@livingmarriages.com

    095 | Stop Neglecting Yourself! Why You Need To Take Your Marriage Seriously
    Jan 6 2026

    It's always a good time to check in with God and one another on the state of your marriage and family. We happened to do our check-in at the end of 2025 and God had a pretty serious invitation for us: start taking yourselves and your marriage more seriously. It's an invitation we're passing on to you!

    On this episode you'll hear:

    • What it looks like when you're not taking your marriage seriously and how God might be inviting you to change that
    • The grace and humour you'll need for the journey and that God is freely offering
    • How NOT to become overwhelmed when starting this journey

    Resources

    Here are a few of the books and resources that have captured our curiosity and imaginations and are giving us good ideas on how we can take ourselves more seriously this year.

    The Marriage You Want by Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Keith Gregoire

    Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley
