The Go-To Podcast for Those Who Want To Rebuild Intimacy and Connection in Their Christ Centered Marriage
Has the excitement of your wedding day now faded into the background?
Are you so exhausted that the last thing you want to think about is your marriage?
Do you and your spouse feel like ships passing in the night?
If you’re craving the intimate, connected marriage God has for you, you’ve come to the right place!
We’re April and Aaron Au, marriage coaches with over a decade of experience, who are on the journey to finding God’s best for our marriage while raising two young boys.
We recently heard this wisdom: “If your marriage isn’t growing, it’s dying.” Yikes! That really got our attention! But if you think about it, it’s true. Marriages need direction, purpose and a common vision to thrive. If they don’t, they will inevitably drift apart. When you add the pressures of raising young children and the grind of daily work to the mix, there are even more forces that threaten to pull our marriages apart.
Thankfully, God has a beautiful vision for our marriages. He wants us to cultivate and enjoy intimacy and connection in our marriage. What’s more, God wants to breathe his Spirit and life into our marriages through beautiful encounters with him in prayer and worship.
In this podcast, we’ll learn about:
- Simple, healthy habits that lead to effective communication and intentional conversations
- The assumptions and expectations that can sabotage our marriages
- How community is essential for a connected marriage
- God’s heart to bring healing and wholeness to us, as individuals and as a family
And of course, we’ll dive into all of the fun topics like sex, money, parenting and why you shouldn’t buy a car without talking to your spouse first.
We’ll also have space to encounter God through prayer, worship and reflection through regular episodes called “Thursday Thoughts.”
So join us on this beautiful journey that we call “Living Marriages.”

069 | Singleness, Marriage And The Gospel With Barry Danylak
While the Living Marriages Podcast primarily focuses on married couples, we are also blessed to have single and once-again single friends as part of our listening community. How we understand singleness and marriage, especially within the church, can have incredible impact on how we care for one another and our gospel impact in the world.
On today's episode, we are excited to welcome Dr. Barry Danylak of See Globally, a ministry helping churches recognize that every single believer, regardless of marital status, is complete in Christ and empowered for significant Kingdom service.
In our conversation, we talk about:
the significance of the singleness of Christ and what that means for covenant community today
how we can care for each other as the diverse body of Christ
how everybody's story matters in the Kingdom, regardless of marital status
how the New Testament equivalent of "be fruitful and multiply" is "Therefore, go and make disciples..."
God's invitation to the singles who desire marriage and to those who are content being single
