How to Know You’re in Love
Contrary to the popular phrase, “love is blind,” the late Dawson McAllister made it his mission to help people understand that this notion is false. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, we’ll listen as McAllister, who was a gifted speaker, shares God’s principles on what true love is and is not. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” If you’ve ever wondered what constitutes true love, the real kind that withstands the test of time, you won’t want to miss this program!

The Mystique of a Woman
Keeping the initial interest and spark alive in a marriage can seem like an elusive task. What is the mysterious “it” factor that everyone seems to be after? On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and the late Jean Lush advise women on how to keep their “feminine mystique” strong by fostering their intellect, confidence, and their God-given attributes.
