My husband actually introduced me to this podcast. We will listen to episodes apart from each other and talk about them later. It feels like we are constantly poured into in a good way and talk about it afterwards. We absolutely love this podcast!

I can across this podcast, about a month ago, and it has change the whole dynamics in my marriage, I told my wife about the naked marriage podcast, and she absolutely loves it and has told other wife’s in our church about it. We have been so blessed by this podcast and have been amazed how God has taken us to the next level in our marriage and in our relationship with each other. Thank you, Dave and Ashley. U2 have been such a blessing to my wife and I.

Dave and Ashley talk about some awesome topics that I feel will prepare me for marriage in the future. I am not married, but am in a seriously dating relationship, and it has really challenged my conversations with my partner on what the future would look like and what goals we have for marriage. I am super blessed by this podcast, thank you guys for the work you do in here!

Grassle · Sep 2024

I think Dave and Ashley are great at being vulnerable and have a lot of wisdom for married couples. However, when I heard that they are having Jimmy Evans on as a guest after the spiritual abuse and controversies he was involved with came out, l I just had to unfollow. No matter if he was the founder of XO, he should not be given a platform to give guidance on anything spiritual given that he has only given excuses for his behavior and no apology.

God's word! · Feb 2026

I noticed in the beginning of this podcast there were so many 30 minute episodes now there are so many one minute three minute, two minute episodes with so many ads. It is hard to get through especially when you are trying to play in your car. I like the 30 minute or longer ones where you actually learn something and not have to sift through all of the quick teachings with ads!
