[Jennifer] Welcome to the marriage after God podcast.

[Aaron] We're your hosts, I'm Aaron.

[Jennifer] And I'm Jennifer.

[Aaron] We've been married for 14 years.

[Jennifer] And we have five young children.

[Aaron] We started blogging over 10 years ago, sharing our marriage story and hopes of encouraging other husbands and wives to draw closer to God and closer to each other.

[Jennifer] We have authored over 10 books together, including our newest book "Marriage After God", the book that inspired us to start this podcast.

[Aaron] "Marriage After God" is a message to remind all of us that God designed marriage with a purpose.

[Jennifer] To reflect his love.

[Aaron] To be a light in this world.

[Jennifer] To work together as a team.

[Aaron] Using what he has given us.

[Jennifer] To build his kingdom.

[Aaron] Our hope is to encourage you along your marriage journey.

[Jennifer] As you boldly chase after God together.

[Aaron] This is, Marriage After God.

[Aaron] Welcome back. We're Aaron and Jennifer Smith, your host of the Marriage After God podcast. How are you doing Jennifer?

[Jennifer] I'm good.

[Aaron] Yeah, what are you drinking?

[Jennifer] I'm drinking hot chocolate.

[Aaron] I got a cup of coffee. This is like our second time now doing like having drinks while we're-

[Jennifer] Yeah, last time we both had tea, which was?

[Aaron] Interesting.

[Jennifer] Fun.

[Aaron] I like tea. But I love coffee way more. So I'm having some coffee right now.

[Jennifer] Speaking of drinks, me and the kids were learning about water this week, which is just fascinating. I think that if you haven't had a chance to study water, I just want to encourage you that you should, cause it's cool. But did you know that it takes like 45 to 50 gallons of water just to make one cup of orange juice?

[Aaron] Are you talking about like from the ground, like the tree?

[Jennifer] Yeah, like what's required to produce a cup of orange juice.

[Aaron] Oh, the amount of oranges.

[Jennifer] Yeah, not 50 gallons of water to mix with frozen orange juice concentrate.

[Aaron] So, for the tree to grow the amount of oranges necessary, it takes about 45 to 50 gallons of water. That's actually incredible.

[Jennifer] Cause it's over time, that the orange grows.

[Aaron] So when I have a couple of oranges, it's like drinking 50 gallons of water. That's my water for the month.

[Jennifer] I don't know, I thought it was interesting.

[Aaron] That's awesome.

[Jennifer] Little tidbit that I memorized this week. But also I gotta say one more thing about water, because as we were reading this book, this orange juice fact was one of them in there, but it also said that, and I didn't know this, Aaron did you know this?

[Aaron] Nope.

[Jennifer] Let me say it first. That a snowflake, how it's made, and you can look this up, like if you Google the definition of a snowflake. Although be careful, look up the scientific like.

[Aaron] Of snow.

[Jennifer] Of snow, a snowflake.

[Aaron] Yeah, that's funny.

[Jennifer] How it's composed is actually ice crystals forming around a piece of dust.

[Aaron] Okay.

[Jennifer] Okay, and I sat there and I, my jaw dropped and the kids were like, what mom? And I'm like, wow, the Bible talks about how, well, that hymn popped up into
