0:00.0	Welcome to the Awesome Marriage Podcast, a place for honest conversations about marriage and how to have the relationship that God has designed for you.
0:09.7	I am your co-host, Christina Dodson.
0:11.9	On the show will be our host, Dr. Kim Kimberling and Nell Smith.
0:15.6	To engage with the Awesome Marriage podcast, use the hashtag Awesome Marriage.
0:23.3	This month of Awesome Marriage, we've been talking about healing a train wreck marriage. Each week on the podcast, we've been sharing one way
0:27.4	to heal an unhealthy marriage. So today's way to heal a train wreck marriage is prayer and patience.
0:33.5	Dr. Kim, how can prayer heal a marriage that's in trouble?
0:41.7	I think there's something that happens when we go to God in prayer.
0:46.2	And I think if we go with an open heart, now, if I go to prayer and Nancy and I are struggling,
0:51.5	and I'm asking God to change her, and I'm asking God to tell me why she's such a jerk and stuff like that, that's not the kind of prayer we're talking about.
0:54.0	What we're talking about coming before God and saying, God help me to understand. God give me

And that he does have answers that I don't have. And so going to prayer, obviously, it's great if a couple can pray together, but I've had couples that because of the state of the relationship,
1:46.9	weren't able to pray together at that time for whatever reason. And so getting them to pray individually those things and at some point working for them
1:51.3	to come together.
1:53.4	But God just, he does amazing things when we come to him with our problems.
1:57.7	And he cares.
1:59.0	I mean, that's what you have to realize.
