| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast, a place for honest conversations about marriage and practical advice on how to have a God-honoring awesome marriage. |
| 0:09.6 | I am your podcast producer and co-host Christina Dodson. |
| 0:12.8 | On the show will be your host, Dr. Kim Kimberling. |
| 0:15.5 | Dr. Kim is a marriage counselor and has been married for over 40 years. |
| 0:19.7 | His passion is to help you strengthen your most |
| 0:22.3 | intimate relationship. So this month, we've been talking a lot about just refuge and what it |
| 0:28.8 | looks like to create a refuge for your spouse where your home is just a safe place and a refuge for |
| 0:33.6 | them. But today we're going to be talking about pointing our spouse to the ultimate refuge. |
| 0:37.9 | The best thing you can do for your spouse to create a refuge in your home is to point them to the |
| 0:43.0 | true refuge. So Dr. Kim, what is our ultimate refuge? Drum roll. I mean, really? Of course, |
| 0:50.0 | I don't think about it's going to be surprised at what we say, but it is God. It's your relationship with Christ and because it changes lives. |

| 1:06.1 | And the change that that made in him and in their marriage. It is a refuge for both of them now. And it's |
| 1:12.2 | because as a spouse, we're going to let each other down. And Nancy, as good as she is, and a great |
| 1:17.6 | spouse as she is, she's going to disappoint me at times. She's not going to be my refuge all the time. |
| 1:22.4 | God uses her as a wife in that role, but Jesus is never going to let me down, ever. He never has, |
| 1:28.1 | he never will. Not as he do things sometimes different than I do, I would want him to. Sure, but |
| 1:32.8 | ultimately I've always found it was best for me. So the real refuge is Jesus. And I think when we try |
| 1:37.9 | to make our spouse into that or something else into that, it's always going to fall short, way short. Yeah, absolutely. I agree. I think, |
| 1:45.2 | you know, he is the only true refuge in place, the only place where your soul can really rest |
