I get asked about my favorite marriage podcasts a lot. But until this past year, I was only listening to one. I’d never taken the time to research what apps were good for listening to podcasts on an Android phone. And I had a lot on my plate for quite a while and not a lot of time to listen to them.
This past year I discovered the app Castbox, which I use to listen to all of my podcasts and have loved. So if you have an Android phone, check it out! I also started listening to podcasts all the time! While I clean my house, while I get ready in the morning, and late at night when I’m doing my grocery shopping are my favorite times to catch up on podcasts.
This post includes all of the marriage podcasts that I listen to and love! I’ve binged every episode of these podcasts. And I listen to their newest episodes when they air. Most podcasts release a new episode weekly. And they have timely advice and tips for the current season, upcoming holidays, or common struggles that they see couples talking about around the internet.
If you haven’t checked these marriage podcasts out, give them a listen and let me know what you think! You will be entertained and inspired by the hosts of all of these podcasts! I also shared my favorite episode from each of these podcasts. So that if you aren’t one to go back and listen to the episodes you missed when you subscribe to a new podcast, you can listen to just one and get a taste of why I love it so much!
This podcast was put together by The Gottman Institute, so you know it’s amazing! Each episode is less than five minutes long, so it’s a quick listen. They release two episodes a week with an actionable tip that you can apply to your relationships immediately
My favorite episode has been Episode 26: The Grass is Greener Where You Water It. But there are so many great episodes, you can’t go wrong. This is a podcast worth binge-listening to. And it won’t take you too long to do it.

Two marriage therapists have teamed up to put together a great podcast about marriage! Dr. Laura Heck is one of my favorites, so this podcast is one that I love. I sadly didn’t know it existed until recently, so I’m busy catching up. And I’ll update this post with one of my favorite episodes as soon as I get through a lot of them!

I have to say that this newish podcast has quickly become a favorite of mine! Rich and Celeste (of The Marriage Laboratory blog) are the husband and wife team who host this podcast. Each episode takes a popular song and Rich and Celeste give that song “therapy”. They discuss a relationship topic that is inspired by the lyrics of the song.
Celeste does great research and has great insight and advice for couples in relationships. She often invites relationship professionals to be on the podcast to share their thoughts. At the end of each episode, Rich rewrites the lyrics of the song to reflect a healthy relationship. And he sings his new version of the song, karaoke style, for everyone’s enjoyment. This podcast is both entertaining and inspiring and I’ve learned a lot of great things from listening to it.
My favorite episode would have to be Episode 13: Listening to Concerns (“Baby It’s Cold Outside”). But you can’t go wrong with any of the episodes on this podcast.

I only recently started listening to this one, but I quickly binged all of the episodes to get caught up. And I look forward to each new episode that is released. Dave and Ashley Willis have a strong foundation in relationship education. Including having published multiple books and spoken at many marriage conferences.
Each week’s episode shares valuable insight and tips to help couples to be completely “naked” or vulnerable with their spouse and in their marriage. I’ve learned a lot in the few months that I’ve been listening to this podcast. And really appreciate what the Willis’ have to share with couples from their knowledge and personal experiences.
My favorite episode was Episode 2: Are You Single in Public? but I also really loved 9: Honest Talk About Anxiety & Depression

I was recently invited to be interviewed on this podcast. And I was really excited because it’s one of my favorites! The host, Rachel Ballard, shares relationship tips, marriage hacks, and relatable stories. Each episode is filled with stories and ideas and suggestions that every wife can put into practice.
It’s hard to pick a favorite episode for this one. But I’d have to say that Episode 20: How to Be Vulnerable with Your Husband. This is a newer podcast, so you can quickly listen to all of the episodes and get caught up!
Nate and Angilyn Bagley are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The majority of the guests on the podcast are LDS as well. However, the lessons and tips that they have to share are relatable for couples everywhere, no matter their religious beliefs. The goal of this podcast is to share interviews with marriage experts regarding how to create a passionate, connected marriage.
One of their episodes that I really loved was Episode 7: Living the Dream. Each episode shares a unique couple’s story and the lessons they’ve learned along their journey.

I’ve been listening to the One Extraordinary Marriage podcast for as long as I can remember. I look forward to hearing from Tony and Alisa each week. And I have loved each of the topics that they’ve chosen to tackle. They share their concept of the intimacy lifestyle with couples all over the world. And they aren’t afraid to be open and real about the challenges that their relationship has faced along the way.
This is a podcast that you will want to listen to with headphones in or while your kids aren’t around because sex and intimacy are mentioned quite frequently. I’m grateful to the DiLorenzos for being a safe place where couples can come to get valuable tips and suggestions on a topic that is seen as taboo and not often talked about so openly.
There are a lot of episodes to choose from with this podcast because it has been around for years. One of my favorites that aired recently was Episode 461: In the Moment.

Nate Bagley is a Gottman Certified Educator with a passion for relationships. During his single days, he decided to quit his job and travel the country, interviewing couples to find what made successful relationships work. It became his life passion and he implements what he’s learned into his own marriage, and shares it with others as well! If you’re willing to take action on the tools you learn in this podcast, you’ll have a truly great marriage!
There are a lot of great episodes with amazing information. But one of my favorites is Episode 30 which features John and Julie Gottman themselves. The Gottmans are relationship experts who have dedicated their life to studying married couples.
