I’ve been behind the times. It’s only in the last year or so that I’ve started listening to podcasts, but let me tell you. I’M HOOKED. There are so many incredible podcasts out there covering every topic under the sun.

Girls Night
Isn’t girl talk just the best? That’s what is going on in this podcast, with a fun and encouraging approach to complex issues. While this is not strictly a marriage-focused podcast, I love the conversations that podcast host Stephanie May Wilson has with her guests. In the podcast summary, Stephanie describes that in each episode, she invites “a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have about our lives as women. We’re talking about friendship, faith, relationships, and self-confidence, about our callings in life and how to live our lives to the absolute full.”
This is definitely an inspiring podcast. While it also comes from a Christian perspective, the discussions are raw and honest with applicable truths across all belief systems.
You can find Girls Night on iTunes and on other podcast networks.

Recent episodes have dealt with topics such as prioritizing your own happiness in a relationship or how to know if your partner is ‘the one.’ PS: They challenge the concept of soulmates, which we talk about often.

The Naked Marriage Podcast
Dave and Ashley Willis run The Naked Marriage Podcast, to uncover “the truth about sex, intimacy and lifelong love. ” A naked marriage is one that includes not just physical nakedness but emotional and spiritual nakedness as well. This is the best way to create a deep and lasting connection.
Dave and Ashley approach marriage from a Christian perspective, but they don’t shy away from tough, intimate topics, delivering episodes with a healthy dose of humor and honesty. As parents to four, the Willises also frequently discuss parenting topics on the podcast. One of their latest episodes is entitled “Sex After Having Kids.”

Marriage and Martinis talks about all things to do with the couples lifestyle on this fun podcast about relationships. Not only do Adam and Danielle discuss traditional relationship issues and marriage problems with absolute candor, they discuss things like health and fitness, sibling birth order, and body image.
A funny and extremely relatable “suburban couple” Adam and Danielle bring a lightness and silliness to even the most challenging of topics. This relationship podcast just appeared last summer, but they’ve already amassed quite a devoted following of folks who love to listen to their irreverent, yet wise advice on marriage.

Therapist Uncensored Podcast
Therapist Uncensored PodcastIf psychology gets you jazzed, you might like the Therapist Uncensored Podcast. This podcast is not focused strictly on romantic relationships but on the mechanics of relationships and attachment as a whole.
