   Growing Closer to God in Every Season | Guest: Stasi Eldredge

   This week on Marriage on the Daily, Julie B. is joined by author and speaker Stasi Eldredge on the release day of her new book, The Ladder of Love, for a deeply encouraging conversation about intimacy with God, identity, and what it looks like to grow in your relationship with Him through every season of life. Stasi shares why knowing God is about so much more than knowing facts about Him. It’s about knowing Him personally and intimately—and allowing His love to become the foundation for everything else in our lives. She also offers grace for the busy seasons when spiritual rhythms don’t look the way we think they “should,” reminding listeners that God understands our humanity and remains faithful even when all we have to offer is a few minutes. Using the framework from The Ladder of Love, Stasi walks through the different ways Scripture reveals our relationship with God: as clay in the hands of the Potter, sheep cared for by the Shepherd, devoted servants, beloved children, siblings, friends, the Bride of Christ, and ultimately partners with Him in bringing His Kingdom into the world. Along the way, Julie and Stasi talk about healing distorted views of God, letting go of comparison, receiving His love, and embracing the unique person He created you to be. The conversation also turns toward marriage, where Stasi shares wisdom from 43 years with her husband, John. Her daily advice for couples is refreshingly simple: play together. Find something you both enjoy and intentionally make space for lighthearted fun without turning every moment into a serious conversation. And for couples wondering if marriage is really worth the work, Stasi offers a resounding yes. After walking through difficult seasons of her own marriage, she says the pursuit of God, healing, and one another’s hearts has made their marriage “gold”—and that it has been worth every tear, every try, and every prayer. If you’ve ever felt spiritually inadequate, disconnected from God, unsure of who you are, or simply exhausted by the demands of life, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God isn’t asking for perfection. He wants your heart—and there is always more of His love to discover.

   How to Grow Together Without Losing Yourself | Guests: Greg & Erin Smalley

   This week on Marriage on the Daily, Julie B. is joined by longtime friends and marriage experts Greg and Erin Smalley for an honest, practical conversation about what it really takes to build a healthy marriage over time. Greg serves as Vice President of Marriage and Family Formation at Focus on the Family, while Erin is a therapist in private practice—and together they’ve spent decades helping couples strengthen their relationships. Greg and Erin open up about the rocky beginning of their own marriage and the baggage they each brought with them. From Greg’s deep fear of failure to Erin’s struggle with feeling “not good enough,” they explain how unresolved wounds and tender spots from the past can quietly shape the way couples react to one another. Their encouragement: become aware of your own “stuff,” stay curious about what’s happening beneath the surface, and keep choosing growth. The conversation also tackles one of the biggest misconceptions about marriage—the idea that “two becoming one” means losing your individuality. Greg and Erin explain why a healthy marriage makes room for three things to flourish: you, your spouse, and the relationship you share. They talk about supporting one another’s dreams, honoring differences, and creating a marriage where both people have a voice and room to become who God created them to be. Julie, Greg, and Erin also explore power struggles, control, conflict, and the importance of remembering that most hurts in marriage aren’t intentional. Instead of assuming the worst, couples can extend grace, ask better questions, and even use humor to reset when things get tense. To close, Erin challenges couples to spend just 10 minutes a day checking in at a deeper level—asking how their spouse is really doing and what’s weighing on them. Greg adds that you can’t give what you don’t have, so learning how to rest, recharge, and care for yourself is also an important part of caring for your marriage. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay connected without losing yourself, how to navigate your differences, or how to keep growing together through changing seasons, this episode offers practical encouragement for building a marriage where both people—and the relationship itself—can truly flourish.

   40 Years of Marriage: Embracing Differences, Choosing Kindness & Finding Joy | Guest: Bob Goff

   This week on Marriage on the Daily, Julie B. welcomes New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Love Does, Bob Goff, for a conversation filled with humor, wisdom, and practical encouragement for couples at every stage of marriage. Celebrating 40 years of marriage to his wife, Maria, Bob shares how two people with completely different personalities can build a beautiful life together without losing who they are. From his spontaneous, adventurous nature to Maria’s steady, thoughtful approach, Bob explains why oneness in marriage doesn’t have to mean sameness—and how learning to see life through your spouse’s perspective can transform your relationship. Julie and Bob explore the importance of asking honest questions, embracing your differences, and finding playful ways to navigate conflict. Bob introduces his hilarious “Code Rainbow” approach to handling mistakes, explains why adding just one beat before responding can change the direction of an argument, and challenges couples to step back and ask whether today’s frustration will really matter in the bigger picture of their marriage. The conversation also touches on vulnerability, extending your weakest hand instead of your strongest, and Bob and Maria’s guiding principle of approaching their relationship with 100% kindness and zero drama. Bob closes with a surprising piece of advice: keep score in your marriage—but count the right things. After 40 years, he still counts the days he’s been married to Maria as a daily reminder of the gift they share. Whether you’ve been married for six months or 40 years, this episode will encourage you to slow down, laugh more, lead with kindness, and remember that a strong marriage isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about continually choosing each other in the little moments that matter—on the daily.
