Welcome to the podcast.

We are so happy to be back with you in the new year.

And today on the show,

we get to share a real marriage story. Adam and Christy are a couple that Dr. Kim counseled as their marriage was recovering from infidelity. And in this episode, you'll just hear from the two of them

sharing their story. We pray this is encouraging and helpful to you and your marriage.

I grew up in a pastor's home, so we were at church at least three times a week.

And my parents were incredible role models for us kids I have a brother and a sister

there was never any instability or any you know fighting anything you know abnormal

we just had a really great upbringing great great parents I had a really good connection with my dad.

You know, we did a lot of outdoor stuff together.

So it was really, really a great, just a great upbringing.

And then I grew up in more of a, I don't necessarily want to say unstable environment,

but I guess if you call it what it is, it's more of an unstable environment.

I grew up moving around.

My dad was in oil and gas, so he would leave for months at a time.

And my parents were, they stayed married, but they were always unstable.

We'd move in with my grandma sometimes.
