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.

- We certainly don't have all the answers, but if you stick around, we may just make you laugh.

- But our hope is to encourage you to chase boldly after God's purpose for your life together.

- This is "Marriage After God."

- Well, we are actually doing this.

- We're back!

- We're recording an episode.

- Yeah we are. It's been a long time.

- I always think it's funny, the moment we start recording, stuff happens.

- The doorbell rings.

- And then we have two UPS drivers. I don't know why it took two for dropping off this little tiny package.

- Or kids come in, "What are you doing in there?"

- It's just funny. 'Cause we're like trying to psych ourselves up to do this after not doing it for so long.

- But are you nervous, Aaron?

- Yep. So in today's episode, we're gonna be talking about life transitions, unexpected circumstances, and keeping our marriage strong during those high stress seasons. And speaking of life transitions, we wanted to let you guys know that today's episode is sponsored by my first book, "The Unveiled Wife." This is our first four years of our marriage story. So we're talking about that transition from being single to married and just the difficulty-

- And all the hard things that happened.

- Yep. Yep, it was a stressful time for us and we, in the book, share how God led us through that.

- And what I love about the book is it's got your beautiful face right on the cover.

- Thank you.

- It's like memorializing you. I love it. Anyways, you should pick up a copy of "The Unveiled Wife." It's available on amazon.com or on our site shop.marriageaftergod.com. So, this week's topic is on life transitions. Everyone has life transitions and we go through them. All throughout our life, there's gonna be all sorts of different seasons in our life where we have to transition from one season to the next.

- And I feel like, I mean I could be wrong but I feel like just everybody lately has been in really big life transitions.

- Uh yeah.

- People we know, people I see on social media. I just keep hearing this kind of same phrase, life transition, over and over again. So we know a little bit about this from this last year and we thought we'd kind of use today's episode to recap where we've been, what we're doing.

- Our last episode for the "Marriage After God" podcast was o
