| 0:12.2 | On the show will be our host, Dr. Kim Kimberling. |
| 0:15.0 | Dr. Kim is a marriage counselor and has been married for over 50 years. |

| 0:29.0 | Today we are continuing our series on communication. Today we're going to be talking about |
| 0:33.7 | touch points, the small daily communication that matters a lot, but that we often |
| 0:38.7 | do not pay enough attention to. Dr. Kim talks about touch points a lot, and today we're going |
| 0:44.1 | to learn why he thinks it's so important. If you are new to the awesome marriage podcast, |
