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. Valentine's Day is coming up soon and it's a
0:32.7	great time to kick up the romance in your marriage, but what about turning up the temperature

1:18.3	they're cared for, they don't have to perform for us. They don't have to do certain things for us
1:22.0	to love and care for them. And I just think that puts an atmosphere in a marriage that's very
1:27.3	warm and then very conducive to
1:29.2	growing, being a team, all the things that we talk about, because you're not, because you
1:33.5	are accepting each other just as you are and letting God make the changes in each of you that God
1:38.4	desires to make.
1:40.4	That's so good.
