Why We Hide from God After We Sin | Marriage Devotional Week 26

Why we hide from God after we sin, and how to return to restoration in marriage. In week 26 of the Marriage After God devotional series, Aaron and Jennifer Smith open with the truth that we all sin, then walk through Genesis 3 to show why our first instinct, like Adam and Eve's, is to run and cover ourselves. They unpack the fear, shame, guilt, and pride that keep husbands and wives hiding from God and from each other, and Aaron shares honestly about the years he hid his pornography addiction from Jennifer and what gave him the courage to confess. Drawing on James 4:17, Romans 12:1-2, Proverbs 28:13, and Psalm 139, they show how confession breaks sin's power, how God covers us with Christ instead of fig leaves, and how transparency became the most healing rhythm in their marriage. This week's call to action: drag your sin into the light, repent before God, then talk to your spouse and invite them to keep you accountable.
