Book Review: Marriage After God

I’ll start this off by saying, you know that I don’t do book reviews often, however, I do post about practical ways to encourage women throughout their marriage, so I just couldn’t pass up this opportunity to share about a new book from Aaron and Jennifer Smith, Marriage After God. I can’t tell you how much the Smith’s have blessed my life not only professionally, but through their ministry to marriages and families as well. 

They have written numerous books that have touched my life and transformed my heart into greater pursuit of Christ: Wife After God, 31 Prayers for my son, 31 Prayers for my daughter, and The Unveiled Wife are just a few of them! 

Marriage After God: What is it about?

It’s obvious that Jennifer  & Aaron Smith wrote this out of an authentic and intense experience with God in their own marriage. Aaron puts it best,

“ When Jennifer and I considered what spurred us toward a desire to serve God together, we agreed that it was our belief that God could and would use us as a team for His glory. And that belief gave us the courage to say yes to Him over and over and over again. Even and especially during the hard times in our story.

 

We said yes to God when we decided to stay together, when it felt easier to walk away. We said yes to God when we chose to love each other, even when we didn’t feel so in love. We said yes to obeying His Word when we did everything we could to get out of debt. We said yes to God when He showed us ways we could serve His body, and we said yes to God when He invited us to share our story. Not all of our “yeses” to God were easy; however, our mutual desire to please God is what helped us to say yes and to persevere”

Such an amazing testimony. 

 

Who’s it for?

Every husband and wife. Together.

Whether you’re seasoned in your marriage or newly-weds. This book covers so many angles of marriage and important lessons learned along the way. It is sure to renew your journey toward Christ or transformationally change the way you view your marriage and journey with God. Marriage After God is a refreshing read that will captivate and challenge you in your relationship with God and your marriage. No matter where you find yourself in your marriage, this book has encouraging Godly wisdom for you.

How it works

This book is an amazing read and I highly suggest both you and your spouse read it together. Kevin and I typically read books separately and make notes, then discuss chapters together about how it applies to our marriage or what touched our hearts. I love how The Smith’s lay out the definition of a Marriage after God, then go on to building a firm foundation.

It is God’s Word and His Word alone that we, as faithful men and women, stand on.

After that, they speak into how to equip yourself with the tools you need in your marriage. They, then, speak to dreaming together and making an impact. 

Each section has important reflection questions that really help guide you on your journey through the book. I highly encourage you to write out your answers and prayerfully reflect these questions.

  • We snuck in a little getaway the past few days at @thesanluisresort in Galveston, Texas. 

We were blown away with how this gem is so close to home and we didn’t even realize. 

From the moment you walk in the door, you just feel like it’s an elevated coastal escape. 

It’s very luxurious for adults, yet fun for kids. The views from our room were incredible and we could spend all day at their pool (it’s has the most serene vibe).

They also have daily kid-friendly activities and with their Island Explorer package - you get passes to Pleasure Pier.

All of us had such a good time and can’t wait to go back!
