Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask

Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim Kim, and he answers them.

Thanks for listening. Today on Ask Dr. Kim, we're going to be talking about kind of a somber topic,

a hard topic, one that is probably a little controversial to talk about, but we're going to

dive on into it because it is a question that we get asked sometimes. We got, we got messaged by

someone who said, my spouse left me, but I'm still praying and hoping for restoration. What do I

do in the waiting? And what do you do when your spouse leaves you? We get this question a lot.

So Dr. Kim, good question. What is the biblical godly thing to do when your spouse leaves you. We get this question a lot. So Dr. Kim, good question. What is the biblical

godly thing to do when your spouse leaves you? Is there a general protocol for this?

I think it's a really tough question. I think, you know, someone would come to me and that's happened,

but look at what the circumstances were. You know, why did the spouse leave? Where did they go?

Have they gone off with someone else?

How did they end at?

All those kind of things.

So I think first, if in your spouse leaves, you've got to take, you've got to know it's

okay to take care of yourself.

And I think you lean into God.

I think you pray.

I think you get the help you need.

You're going through a huge grief situation of that time.

And then I think God, I think as you lean into God, what I see, he gives you, really,

he does give you guidance of what to do.
