| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Delight Your Marriage podcast, the show where you hear from amazing and inspiring |
| 0:08.1 | wives sharing their struggles, triumphs, and advice for this journey called marriage. |
| 0:13.9 | Here's your host, Bella Rose. |
| 0:18.1 | Hi there, and welcome. |
| 0:19.8 | Thank you for joining me. Merry Christmas. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you spent it with friends and family and loved ones and that you remembered the reason for the season that Jesus Christ was born. So today we are talking with Kim Olishay. This is her second half of the |
| 0:43.2 | interview. Now, we all know that marriage has really great parts of it. You know, there's definitely |

| 1:50.7 | who we are right now. |
