Is your marriage going through a period of suffering? Maybe it's the relationship that needs some improving, or maybe the hardships of life are weighing you down. Either way, we often turn to prayer as a last resort. And today, I'm going to show why that's a mistake.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Doug Hinderer, the voice behind Relevant Radio's "Marriage Unhindered." Doug shares his incredible journey from a 36-year career in human resources to becoming a marriage therapist and then a radio host, all guided by faith and a willingness to surrender to God's plan. We'll explore themes from his book, Rekindled Hearts, focusing on the redemptive nature of suffering in marriage, the importance of spiritual direction, and practical ways couples can navigate challenges. Get ready for an inspiring discussion on how prayer can transform your relationship and lead to profound growth. Enjoy!
