Many people casually believe that marriage should be a 50/50 proposition. But we need to be careful that we’re not mistakenly manifesting a performance-based marriage, where a husband and wife are always keeping score. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his tough discussion with Bob Lepine on the biblical understanding of what real love is supposed to be. 1 Corinthians 13:7-8 says, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” Are you up for the challenge to follow the Lord’s instruction and take your marriage to a deeper level?
Contrary to the claims of pop culture, true love is not just an emotional term, and not necessarily romantic. Biblically speaking, the cornerstone of marital love is an unflinching commitment to one's spouse and a Christ-like posture of self-sacrifice. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson discusses the real meaning of love with Bob Lepine, author of Love Like You Mean It. Bob explains that patience, kindness, and humility are like marital disinfectants that help wash away toxins that can build up over time.
Husbands and wives have a mutual responsibility laid out in Scripture to love and respect one another.

Discover how you can fan the flames of passion and turn that emotion into deeper intimacy with your husband or wife the way God intended.
God intended sex to be reserved for and exclusive to a marital relationship. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, we’ll learn why that divine purpose has been disregarded through Dr. James Dobson’s interview with sex therapists, Dr. Clifford and Joyce Penner. They share how pornography and casual sex have warped our view of intimacy. Hebrews 13:4 says, “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”
To Husbands: It is high time you realized that your wives are under attack today!
Husbands, it is high time you realized that your wives are under attack today! Everything they have been taught from early childhood is being subjected to ridicule and scorn. Hardly a day passes when the traditional values of the Judeo-Christian heritage are not blatantly mocked and undermined.
Adultery and lust are deep-rooted sins that continue to plague marriages and families. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his discussion with popular author and speaker, Jerry Jenkins. He identifies specific “hedges” that must be intentionally built into a marital relationship if it is to remain intact, the way God intended. Hebrews 13:4 says, “Marriage should be kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”
Beware of this trap. The minute we begin thinking that we are entitled to more, we've started down the slippery road to selfishness. It can devastate a relationship.
Society today attempts to water down or trivialize adultery, but according to the Bible, it is not acceptable within the boundaries of any relationship, let alone marriage! Today on Family Talk, we’ll hear a classic discussion between Dr. James Dobson and best-selling author and speaker, Jerry Jenkins, about the vulnerability of every marital relationship unless the proper defenses are put in place. 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Our enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
