Aaron and Jennifer Smith

Aaron and Jennifer Smith have dedicated over a decade to encouraging Christian marriages through their ministry. Married since 2007, they initially faced painful challenges in their marriage that almost ended in divorce but found healing and growth through their faith Jesus. Together, they have coauthored numerous books to encourage marriages, including 31 Prayers for My Wife, 31 Prayers for My Husband, Husband After God, and Wife After God, and most recently The Marriage Gift. Each designed to support couples in strengthening their faith and marriage to draw closer to God and eachother.

In 2011, Aaron began HusbandRevolution.com to encourage husbands in leading their families according to biblical principles, while Jennifer launched UnveiledWife.com to inspire wives with positive marriage encouragement. They later united their efforts through MarriageAfterGod.com, where they continue to publish Christian marriage books and resources. They also host the weekly Marriage After God podcast, inspiring couples on their journey toward deeper intimacy with eachother and intimacy with God. Residing in central Oregon with their 6 young children, the Smiths are committed to helping others draw closer to God and fulfill His purpose for their lives and marriages.
