What if God has purposed your marriage for something so much more than "happily ever after?"

Since the very beginning, God's design for marriage has been for husbands and wives to be ambassadors of holy love to a hurting world. Still, too many couples stop short at happy and wonder why they feel unsatisfied. Rather than "you and me against the world," God calls each couple to the rich and meaningful mission of "you and me for the world."

In Marriage After God, Aaron and Jennifer Smith, popular marriage bloggers at Husband Revolution.com and Unveiled Wife.com, transparently share their own journey of turning a marriage in crisis into a marriage built on Christ's redemptive love.

With fresh biblical insight and intimate stories of their own struggles and victories, this book will guide you toward a God-centered, ministry-minded, and thriving marriage. Throughout Marriage After God, you'll learn to:

  • Discover the signature marks of a marriage after God
  • Find principles for building an unshakable marriage foundation
  • Let God's story take the lead in your love story
  • Recognize the tools God has already equipped you with for a missional life together

Filled with timeless wisdom, this thorough and practical book will empower you and your spouse to dream, decide, and do as you step hand in hand into God's ultimate purpose for your marriage.

God has created your remarkable, romantic, and redemptive relationship to be a powerful light to a dark and hurting world. Let Marriage After God be your invitation to marriage as God intended—a life-saving, hope-inspiring, and transforming force of God's love.

Praise for Marriage After God:

—Jefferson Bethke, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus > Religion

"There is a short list of books I'm stashing away for my three small kiddos to read when they are older—Marriage After God is one of them. Dear couples of the world, you have picked up a treasure! This book will give you clear direction to live out God's will for your marriage. There is no greater gift you can give yourselves than to run after Him together. Marriage After God will show you how!"
