How to Avoid 11 "Great Marriage Killers"

Dr. Dobson's latest newsletter is now available online at drjamesdobson.org! Simply click here to read and download it.

Earlier this month we enjoyed Valentine's Day, a day set aside for the celebration of romantic love. We hope you and your spouse relished this opportunity to affirm your undying affection and commitment. In his letter this month, Dr. Dobson flips the coin over and shares insight and great advice on how to avoid the "Great Marriage Killers."

We encourage you to spend a few moments to learn how to protect your sacred relationship from:
1.    Over-commitment and physical exhaustion.
2.    Excessive credit and conflict over how money will be spent.
3.    Selfishness.
4.    Conflict with in-laws.
5.    Unrealistic expectations.
6.    Space invaders.
7.    Alcohol and drug abuse.
8.    Pornography, gambling, and other behavioral addictions.
9.    Business failure.
10.  Business success.
11.  Getting married too young.
"I'll ask you, the reader, how will you beat the odds that could wreck your marriage? How will you build a solid relationship that will last until death takes one of you across the Great Divide?

There is only one answer: give your marriage and your children the priority they deserve. Let nothing squeeze them out of first place. Then take these beloved family members to the Lord in prayer every day of your life." – Dr. James Dobson

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread Today's reading: Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: "The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church." The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, St...

Recompensas celestiales

Leer | LUCAS 14.12-14 22 de junio de 2012 Los niños no son los únicos a quienes les gusta ser recompensados. Nuestro Creador sabe que también los adultos son motivados por los incentivos. Es por eso que encontramos promesas en su Palabra para quienes andan en sus caminos. Algunos de estos beneficios están al alcance en este mundo --como son el sentimiento de realización, el gozo y el favor de otros--, mientras que otras bendiciones se concederán en el cielo. Como creyentes, no tenemos que temer al juicio (Ro 8.1); estamos vestidos con salvación por la sangre de Jesús, y no enfrentaremos la ira divina. Pero el Señor determinará el valor de nuestras obras, y qué recompensa merecemos. Para ayudarnos a entender esto, la Biblia habla de cuatro coronas. La primera, llamada incorruptible , es dada a aquellos cuyo deseo es andar en obediencia delante de Dios. En medio de luchas e incluso de fracasos, siguen muriendo a la carne y obedeciendo al Espíritu. La segunda, la corona de...
