0:22.9	So this month on the Awesome Marriage podcast, we're talking about habits of healthy couples. So each week on the podcast, we'll be
0:27.4	sharing one habit of a healthy couple and kind of breaking it down for you. So today's habit is
0:31.6	laughter. How fun. So why is laughter a habit of a healthy couple? And why is it so important that married couples
