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.

From Roommates to Partners: How to Reconnect and Strengthen Your Marriage God’s Way
If your marriage has started feeling more like roommates managing logistics than partners building a life together, this episode is your fresh start. You don’t need a crisis to begin again, you can reconnect, rebuild, and strengthen your marriage right now, God’s way.
Today, we’re walking you through the belief shift, the daily habits, and the simple changes that bring passion, connection, and purpose back into your marriage. You can absolutely have a do-over with the spouse you vowed to, and this episode shows you how.
What We Cover in Today’s Episode
• The Paradigm Shift That Restores Connection
Your marriage isn’t a distraction from your calling; it’s your greatest multiplier.
This single shift will realign your vision, your language, and the energy you bring into your home.
• Why “Starting Over” Has Nothing to Do with Divorce
Too many couples think renewal means ending things. But you can rebuild your marriage from the inside with new perspective, new intention, and new habits.
• The Roommate Trap
When conversations become transactions…When passion fades into patterns…
When you feel like co-managers instead of partners, that’s not a sign to give up. It’s a sign to recalibrate.
The 5 Practical Steps to Reconnect & Strengthen Your Marriage
1. Language Audit
Stop speaking death over your marriage (“you always,” “you never”) and start speaking life (“we are,” “we will,” “I appreciate”). Your words shape the atmosphere of your home.
2. Presence Over Performance
Give each other 15 minutes of full attention daily. Phones down. Eyes up.
Connection over accomplishment.
3. Vision Together
Ask: “What do we want our marriage to look like in one year? Five years?” A shared vision becomes a shared mission, and it reconnects you at a heart level.
4. Micro Gestures of Love
Small things done consistently become big results: a note, a text, a kiss that lasts longer than one second, making the coffee first, touching his shoulder as you walk by. Micro gestures fill the emotional bucket.
5. Weekly Check-Ins
Date nights aren’t a luxury, they’re a lifeline. Ask each other: “How are we doing?”
“What do you need more of from me right now?” These questions rebuild intimacy, trust, and understanding.
If You Feel Disconnected… You’re Not Alone
Most couples don’t fall apart because of one event; they drift from little things left unattended. The good news? Reconnection starts with just one intentional shift today.
Start here:
Take 15 minutes tonight to be fully present with your spouse.
No agenda. No distractions.
Just connection.
It’s amazing what God can rebuild when you give Him room to move.
