Dr. Dobson explains why friendship is such an important foundation for a romantic relationship.
It's a great relationship, and you're wondering if you're ready to say those three special words, I love you. But, you're not certain. Is it love—or infatuation? How can you really know if you're in love?
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. Proverbs 31:10-11 says, “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far more than rubies.” God’s plan is perfect, and He purposefully created men and women to be uniquely different from one another.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his bold and dynamic conversation with Dr. Joe McIlhaney, author and a board-certified OB/GYN. Dr. McIlhaney shares the horrifying curriculum being taught under the banner of comprehensive sex education, and explains the unthinkable price society is paying because we have believed the lies of the enemy instead of following the principles of the Bible. Romans 1:21 says, “For although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Do not shy away from your God-given responsibilities as a parent!
