What does it really look like to build a marriage that honors God — not with perfection, but through faithfulness? In today’s episode, I had the honor of hosting Chelsea Smith, author of I Do Today. It was a refreshingly honest, funny, and biblically grounded conversation about marriage, growth, intimacy, and keeping Christ at the center in a culture that pulls couples in every direction. With 25 years of marriage in her back pocket, Chelsea shares practical and life-giving advice that helps couples stop striving for an unrealistic “perfect marriage” and instead, commit to growing together — spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. In this episode, we talk about: how to anchor your marriage in Christ when culture says otherwise how respect and playfulness belong together in a godly marriage what surrender looks like when spouses feel pulled in different directions God’s design for intimacy — including sex — as something holy and life-giving navigating social media, comparison, and outside voices as a married couple Chelsea reminds us that the strongest marriages aren’t built on flawless behavior, but on daily faithfulness, intentional conversations, and choosing each other. And ultimately, keeping the Lord above each other. Whether you’re newly married, decades in, or praying for restoration, this conversation will encourage you to take one faithful step forward today.
