| 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. His passion is to help you |
| 0:23.4 | strengthen your most intimate relationship. The Christmas season is so special. It's like none |
| 0:31.9 | other. There are so many things that go into the season all in an effort to celebrate Jesus' birth. |

| 1:28.2 | But really, I think the last two, couple, two, three years, just slowing down to pause to be kind of countercultural, you know, to focus on Jesus. |
| 1:40.0 | And to realize that, you know, what we're celebrating is a really big deal. |
