| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast, a place for honest conversations and practical advice on how to build an awesome marriage. |
| 0:09.9 | I am your podcast producer and co-host, Lindsay Few. |
| 0:13.4 | On the show will be our host, Dr. Kim Kimberly. |
| 0:17.0 | Dr. Kim is a marriage counselor and has been married for over 50 years. |
| 0:21.6 | His passion is to help you strengthen your most intimate relationship. |
| 0:28.6 | As a parent, it can be so tempting to get lost in the season of parenting I'm in right now. |
