Men and Marriage – Part 2
According to author George Gilder, a woman's contribution to the culture and the continuity of the human race is secure and even defined by biology.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his fascinating discussion with Gilder about his book, Men and Marriage. Genesis 1:27 declares, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them: male and female he created them.” God’s plan is perfect, and we would do well to adhere to it!
