| 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. Sex is consistently listed as one of the top |
| 0:31.7 | issues couples have in marriage. Why is it such a point of tension? We believe one reason is because it matters. It's |
| 0:38.8 | not only important to a marriage, but also because it's part of God's design. Healthy sex and |
| 0:44.0 | marriage reflects God's design, and it helps the marriage. But when tension creeps in, it can do |
| 0:49.2 | exactly the opposite. So this month, we're going deep on the topic as we hear from our awesome marriage |

| 1:24.0 | So I'm looking forward to hearing your responses, your advice, and your wisdom on this. |
| 1:28.5 | So some of these are a bunch of comments compiled into one sort of general thought, you know, |
| 1:33.7 | because things kind of have the same core issue. But the first thing we heard was, it's not just |
| 1:40.0 | physical. I wish my husband knew it starts before you get into the bedroom and I need you to connect |
| 1:45.9 | with me emotionally. What do you say to a wife who has that concern? Well, I think she's telling us a lot of |
| 1:53.8 | what I hear from women as, you know, what we talk about of 24-7, 365, 4 plague. It really is what happens the rest of the hours a day, |
| 2:03.2 | depending on how a woman is going to feel in a sex relationship with her husband and the |
| 2:08.5 | closeness and all that. And I think a lot of times, guys, it's kind of hard for us to get that |
