Married or not, we have all heard horror stories from the perspective of a mother or daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his critical discussion with author Annie Chapman about her book, The Mother-In-Law Dance.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Don’t miss this crucial episode about the healthy boundaries that are necessary between a mother and her son’s wife.

Perhaps one of the more difficult relationships to manage in life is between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson takes on this delicate subject with musician and author, Annie Chapman, as they discuss her book entitled The Mother-In-Law Dance: Can Two Women Love the Same Man and Still Get Along?

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Annie’s invaluable advice models this character of Jesus.

Today on Family Talk, Gary Bauer talks with Mark about his new devotional entitled, Trail Ready: 101 Devotions for Dads with Boys. Gary and Mark discuss the biblical definition of fatherhood, and the destructive societal pitfalls we have been experiencing due to diminishing the integral role that dads play in raising boys. Instead of shaming fathers for what they have not done, we need to remind them of who God created them to be.
