A spouse who believes in Jesus and one who doesn’t can leave a couple feeling lonely and out of step.
Coming to faith in Jesus Christ saved Leslie Strobel’s soul, but it nearly cost her marriage.
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson sits down with best-selling author Lee Strobel and his wife, Leslie, to share their honest story of marriage tested by faith.
Question: Dr. Dobson, would you be more specific about the relationship between the sexes? Am I to assume you do not favor a fifty-fifty arrangement in the husband-wife interaction? Answer: That is correct. However, let me offer two opinions about the ideal relationship between husbands and wives that may clarify my viewpoint.
What you have observed by looking around your social circles is born out by the numbers: According to nearly every relevant statistic, the institution of marriage is in serious trouble. The Council on Families in America reports that half of first marriages are likely to end in divorce.
Question: Dr. Dobson, my wife will not respond to me sexually unless the circumstances are just right. It isn't enough for us to enjoy each other physically. I have to talk to and spend time with her before we even go to bed, or else she is disinterested. Are other women like this?
Embarking on the journey of marital bliss involves navigating the intricate terrain of sexual intimacy, a cornerstone of a fulfilling and thriving relationship. For husbands seeking to enhance their connection with their wives on a physical level, understanding the nuances of sexual intimacy is paramount.
My wife and I sometimes get into fights when neither of us really wants to argue. I'm not even sure how it happens. We just find ourselves locking horns and then feeling bad about it later. Why can't
What advice would you give to a woman whose husband just won't respond to her emotionally? That's my situation. My husband is a good man, but he's not romantic, and he'd rather keep his thoughts to himself. How can I deal with the longing inside me?
There is still no substitute for the biblical prescription for marriage, nor will its wisdom ever be replaced. A successful husband and wife relationship begins with the attitude of the man; he has been ordained by God as the head of the family, and the responsibility for its welfare rests upon his shoulders.
