Image
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
James Dobson
Image
My observation is that women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership.
James Dobson
Image
One of the first things you and your fiance need to develop is a meaningful prayer life even before the wedding. My wife, Shirley, and I did that, and the time we have spent on our knees has been the stabilizing factor throughout nearly forty years of marriage.
James Dobson
Image
Great beginnings are not as important as the way one finishes.
James Dobson
Image
Prayer and dependence on God has been our history. How unfortunate it is now that an unaccountable and unelected and misguided judge from Wisconsin, Judge Barbara Crabb, has declared National Days of Prayer - established by the Congress - to be unconstitutional.
James Dobson
Image
Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth.
James Dobson
Image
When these parenting years have passed, something precious will have flickered and gone out of my life. Thus, I am resolved to enjoy every day that remains in this fathering era.
James Dobson
Image
Faith in God - life can never take you by surprise again.
James Dobson
Image
Morality and immorality are not defined by man's changing attitudes and social customs. They are determined by the God of the universe, whose timeless standards cannot be ignored with impunity.
James Dobson
Image
Children represent God's most generous gift to us.
James Dobson
Image
God does not need our money. But you and I need the experience of giving it
James Dobson
Image
If you let a child know that you think he is lazy, sloppy, untruthful, unpleasant, and thoughtless, he'll probably prove you are right. Obviously, it is much better to make him stretch to reach a positive image than stoop to match one at ground level.
James Dobson
Image
Tell me why it is that a toddler will gag over a perfectly wonderful breakfast of ham, eggs, biscuits, juice, and jelly. But then he will enthusiastically drink the dog's water and play in the toilet. Truly, he is his mother's greatest challenge... and her most inexpressible joy.
James Dobson
Image
God's Heart is especially tender toward the downtrodden and the defeated. He knows your name and He has seen every tear you have shed.
James Dobson
Image
Authority is God ordained, but authoritarianism and raw power, in almost all forms, is dangerous.
James Dobson
Image
The Lord doesn't always remove the sources of stress in our lives...but He's always there and cares for us. We can feel His arms around us on the darkest night.
James Dobson
Image
Don't throw away your friendship with your teenager over behavior that has no great moral significance. There will be plenty of real issues that require you to stand like a rock. Save your big guns for those crucial confrontations.
James Dobson
Image
Homosexuals can be, you know, committed to each other. And they have freedom to behave in the ways that they do, but they cannot be a family. They cannot be married. I mean, virtually every culture in the history of the world has considered marriage to be between one woman and one man.
James Dobson
Image
There are very few certainties that touch us all in this mortal experience, but one of the absolutes is that we will experience hardship and stress at some point.
James Dobson
Image
A child identifies his parents with God, whether or not the adults want that role. Most children 'see' God the way they perceive their earthly fathers.
