It shows you care. It shows that you appreciate things. It is almost a respect thing too." -Dr. Kim Kimberling "You have to change your perspective on gratitude. I can't be grateful because I want my spouse to acknowledge it or do the same thing back, but because God wants me to do this as a spouse." -Dr. Kim Kimberling "You are being obedient to God. I am doing the things God would want me to do as a spouse. That way you don't resent it. Because if you keep doing things and don't get anything back and it is all out of you, you are going to keep resenting it." -Dr. Kim Kimberling SPONSORS Thank you to Groove Life for sponsoring this podcast episode!
