Audrey answers a listener’s heartfelt question about the loneliness of being married to a husband who professes faith but does not provide spiritual leadership. She encourages women to bring their unfulfilled longings to the Lord, persevere in prayer, cultivate contentment in Christ, and faithfully love and respect their husbands while trusting God to work in His timing. She reminds listeners that true satisfaction is found in Christ, even when the deepest desires of marriage remain unmet.
