Marriage Made in Heaven
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.

How to Support Each Other’s Careers While Raising Littles
Building a business and a marriage is already a lot of work. Add in babies, toddlers, and all the chaos of raising littles and it can feel impossible to balance it all. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way!) to support each other’s careers while raising four young kids.
From ramen noodle budgets and long-distance PhD seasons to explosive business growth and juggling speaking engagements with nap schedules, we’ve lived it. And through it all, we discovered what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to staying unified in marriage while pursuing God-given callings.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- The backstory of starting a multimillion-dollar business with a 1-pound miracle baby in the NICU.
- Why seasons of sacrifice are part of marriage and how to get through them together.
- The power of schedules, non-negotiables, and respecting each other’s work time.
- How to avoid the trap of unrealistic expectations as a spouse and parent.
- Why communication and prayer are the foundation for balance.
- Lessons we wish we’d learned sooner about saying “yes” and “no.”
Our Takeaway for You:
You can pursue big dreams and raise little ones without losing your marriage in the process. But it takes intentional communication, realistic expectations, and putting family before business opportunities.
At the end of the day, your marriage and kids are eternal; your business isn’t. Do things God’s way, and you’ll see blessing in every area of your home.
