READ TRANSCRIPT

- Hi, and welcome to the "Marriage After God" podcast.

- We're your hosts, Aaron and Jennifer Smith.

- We have been married 15 years and have five sweet children who are growing up way too fast.

- We love God and we love marriage.

- And we love to be honest about it all.

- Marriage is not always a walk in the park, but we do believe it has a powerful purpose.

- So our goal here is to open up the conversation to talk about our faith and our marriage.

- Especially in light of the gospel.

- The things that-

- Stressors.

- Cause strife in marriage.

- Money's one of them.

- Yeah, money's definitely one of them. Now you take that and put it in context to today's current situation.

- Issues of-

- Like what are we-

- Money.

- Experiencing. And I think it makes it very relevant.

- Do you think that we have, like, some sort of special, like, training in this or? Nope.

- It's not really our genre necessarily. We have talked about money a lot in the past because God's used it in our life, but I don't know, it see
