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

Como hay alegrías, hay tristezas

Como hay alegrías por oraciones contestadas como que los papas de Santi no se tienen que ir de la casa Gloria a Dios!! Lamento de todo corazón informarles que el abuelito de Sara, falleció hoy y ella nos pide que la acompañemos en oración y pide por su familia en Colombia. Para la Gloria de Dios hay fiesta en los cielos porque su Abuelito amaba a Dios y siempre le reconoció como Salvador. Orar sin cesar!! Dando Gloria a Dios!

In His Eyes

July 23, 2012 Mary Southerland Today's Truth I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ( Psalm 139:14-15 , NIV). Friend to Friend It was my first day of teaching second grade. While standing at the classroom door, greeting parents and children, I felt a tug on my skirt. I looked down into the beautiful blue eyes of Sammy, one of my new students.  His mother, who was standing beside Sammy, looked at me and said, "I guess you've heard about Sammy.  Good luck!" As she walked away, Sammy said, "She's right. I'm dumb and mean and can't read or write."  Lisa was a tall, blonde and beautiful young woman with zero self-confidence. Lisa was...
