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.

Love & Respect: God’s Blueprint for a Thriving Marriage

This week, Joshua and Ali dive deep into one of the most powerful biblical principles for marriage, love and respect, straight from Ephesians 5:33.
Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Wives are called to respect their husbands. When both are lived out intentionally, it creates a strong, unshakable foundation for a marriage made in heaven.
From real stories of their early years together to practical ways they’ve grown as husband and wife, this episode is both fun and deeply convicting. Whether you’re newlyweds or 20 years in, this conversation will encourage you to honor God’s design and model His love within your marriage.
In This Episode, You’ll Hear:
- Why respect is vital for husbands to feel supported and trusted.
- How unfailing, God-kind of love brings security and joy to wives.
- Real talk on communication, finances, decision-making, and love languages.
- Practical ways to show respect and love daily, from small notes to big moments.
- How to break generational patterns and model a godly marriage for your children.
📖 Scripture Reference:
“However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.” — Ephesians 5:33 (NIV)
