Summary
When Dave Wilson’s wife Ann told him she no longer had feelings for him, there are a number of responses he could have had. The one he chose might surprise you. Rather than lashing out in disbelief, Dave experienced the conviction of the Holy Spirit and went straight onto his knees in repentance. As God touched His heart, He touched Ann’s as well.
Could it be that many of us are missing the supernatural element of our marriages? What would happen if we allowed God to do the work He seeks to do in us, so that He can heal our marriages?
Join Juli and her guests Dave and Ann Wilson in this special re-air episode as they share how God transformed them and their marriage from the top down.

| 0:06.4 | outreach of Authentic and MC, which is a ministry dedicated to helping you reclaim God's |

| 0:25.1 | After putting together a seemingly perfect date night, complete with roses commemorating each |
| 0:30.1 | year of their marriage, Dave was blindsided when his wife and resisted his advances and told him |
| 0:36.0 | that she no longer had feelings for him. Well, that was over 20 years ago and as I'm sure |
| 0:41.5 | is obvious from the title of this episode, Dave and Anne were able to rebuild their relationship |
| 0:46.4 | and create a marriage both of them were truly happy in. Now while they'll still tell you that |
| 0:51.0 | it's not perfect, Dave and Anne found a way to move forward in love and as it turns out, |

| 1:37.9 | I love about the way you host that radio broadcast is you're so real like you're not trying to |
