Building a Marriage You Love and that Lasts: A Conversation with Chelsea Smith

Marriage can be one of the most beautiful gifts God gives us—but it can also be one of the hardest. Between busy schedules, parenting, finances, and the daily pressures of life, it’s easy to lose sight of the connection and joy we once dreamed of having.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the privilege of talking with Chelsea Smith about her new book, I Do Today: A 52-Week Interactive Guide to Building a Marriage You Love. After twenty-five years of marriage, Chelsea offers wisdom that’s both practical and grace-filled, reminding us that a thriving marriage isn’t built overnight—it’s built one day, one decision, and one conversation at a time.

In our conversation, we discussed:
*How to stay connected through every season
*Ways to strengthen your emotional and physical intimacy
*Why small, consistent acts of love matter more than grand gestures
*Simple activities to bring fun and laughter back into your relationship

Whether you’ve been married a few months or a few decades, this episode will inspire you to choose your spouse—and your marriage dream—again and again.

Let’s keep choosing love today and every day,
Rachael

P.S. If this episode encourages you, share it with a couple who could use a little reminder that love grows best when tended daily.
