Marriage Made in Heaven
A free masterclass for couples
"Just find a better husband" is garbage advice.
Your marriage doesn't need to be replaced.
It needs to be upgraded.
Wed, Nov 11 · 5pm PT | Thu, Nov 12 · 10am PT
Join Dr. Joshua and Ali Spitsbergen live for a masterclass on building a marriage that lasts. Thriving or in a hard season, this room is for you.
Free. Live. Pick your session.
The fallout is real
The advice is everywhere.
So is the damage.
A vow made before God has become a feeling we check on. When the feeling dips, the world says you deserve better.
Your children are watching what a promise is worth.
1.5–2×
more likely to divorce themselves: young people whose parents divorced.

~25%
of children of divorce receive mental health treatment, roughly double the rate of children from intact homes.

These are group patterns, not verdicts on any one family. Many children of divorce thrive, and we honor the parents who are doing it well. We are simply saying the cost is real, and what God joined together is worth fighting for.

The other side
Hard is not the same as over.
In a national study of unhappy marriages, two in three spouses who stayed married reported being happy five years later. Among the most unhappy, almost eight in ten did.

Why we teach this
“If you weren’t married to Jesus, you’d be divorced.”
A friend said that to me when I was pouring everything into my business and nothing into my marriage. It stopped me.
A thriving CEO doesn’t leave bread crumbs for their spouse.
Joshua and I have lost a business in a twenty-one-minute phone call. We’ve stood over a hospital crib in the PICU. We’ve lived seasons as roommates and seasons of resentment.
What held us was the Word of God and the willingness to lay our pride down at the foot of the cross. Everything we teach is something we’ve lived.

Marriage Made in Heaven
The ultimate status
symbol isn’t wealth.
It’s a marriage that thrives.
Our perspective
Not a Pinterest-perfect marriage.
A heaven-made one.
Everything we teach rests on five biblical pillars, drawn from our podcast seasons and from Dr. Mark Spitsbergen’s Order in the House.
Seek God first Matthew 6:33
Serve one another selflessly Galatians 5:13
Speak truth in love Ephesians 4:15
Pray together daily 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Live by the Word Psalm 119:105
The strongest marriages are rarely accidental. They are intentional.
“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
Psalm 127:1
What you’ll walk away with
Tools you can use at
home the same night.
“Good” has a ceiling. This is how you raise it.
We teach first.
Three frameworks from our live-event playbook, built from twelve seasons of the Marriage Made in Heaven podcast.
01
Bring a 10 down to a 0
A simple diffusion tool, so a fight doesn’t turn into a fracture.
02
From roommates to partners
Fifteen undistracted minutes a day and a language audit that move you back toward each other.
03
Own your calendar
Non-negotiable not-working hours, and a date night with the weight of a board meeting.
What happens next
Four steps, and the first one is free.
1. RESERVE YOUR SEATS
It’s free. Register below and bring your spouse.
2. JOIN US LIVE
Choose your session: Wednesday, November 11 at 5pm Pacific or Thursday, November 12 at 10am Pacific. Sit side by side and work through it together.
3. USE IT THAT NIGHT
Take the tools home and put them to work in your marriage right away.
4. GO DEEPER, IF IT'S FOR YOU
We’ll share how couples can apply to Marriage Upgrade, a private, invite-only, three-month cohort for 12 couples who already have a good marriage and want it to be the best thing they’ve built.
January through March, with a Valentine’s weekend at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, February 11–13.
Words from our attendees
“Thank you, Ali & Joshua, for leading us. You guys crushed it!”
It’s a unique group of couples that are not necessarily struggling in their marriages, but just want to excel and go beyond the norm within their marriages and in their life, and really just build something super beautiful. We are so full.
RAE & SAMMY
“I don’t even know where to start. This weekend was life-changing.”
I just wanted you both to know how grateful we are. What you’re doing takes real boldness. God’s hand on you two is so obvious and I’m just in awe of how you show up in that calling. Thank you for pouring into our lives and our marriage.
AMY & SCOTT
“You’re amazing! We are still on cloud 9 from the event.”
Talk about blowing us out of the water. God just showing off! This is a beautiful ministry and no doubt you both are cut out for it. Everything was done in excellence. So excited for the next one.
