0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life in the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.5	I'm Patrick Miller. How do you mend a broken relationship? to work.
0:13.5	How do you mend a broken relationship?
0:15.4	A friend of mine was living the dream in his 20s.
0:17.8	He was making loads of money, starting new businesses, and not just any businesses,
0:21.6	he was working in interesting fields like restaurants and housing at the time he was married and looking in everyone thought he had it all his wife was talented funny engaging but his drive to succeed, to make more, to have more, to be more,

1:31.0	But the truth was, he didn't want to give himself to her. And he wanted all the stuff, all the

1:45.9	with someone else, someone who did have time for her, someone who did care for her, someone
1:50.3	who made space for her.
