| 0:00.0 | Hey Jim Daley here. If you like the focus on the family broadcast and haven't |
| 0:04.7 | grown tired of this voice just yet, you'll love my ReFocus podcast. On ReFocus I |
| 0:10.2 | take a deeper dive with a respected thinker on different aspects of culture. I |
| 0:14.4 | ask those hard questions that maybe they don't get that often and I don't |
| 0:18.8 | shy away from challenging topics to help you share God's grace, truth, and love |
| 0:23.6 | with others. So listen to ReFocus with Jim Daley on your favorite streaming app |

| 1:18.0 | got our blood pressure checked. That's how fun things were. But I just wanted to |
| 1:21.7 | be with Dina all the time. Listen, no matter how long you've been married, you |
| 1:26.2 | should have that kind of desire to be with your spouse even in the mundane |
| 1:30.5 | small things. I'm John Fuller along with Dr. Greg Smolley and his wife Aaron. They |
| 1:35.5 | lead our focus marriage team. We'll hear from them in a minute, but first let's go |
