More quotes by James Dobson
You have to work to keep love alive you have to protect it and maintain it, just like you would a delicate flower.
James Dobson
Show me a husband who keeps his thoughts to himself, and I will show you a frustrated wife.
James Dobson
Barring a miracle, the family that has existed since antiquity will likely crumble, presaging the fall of Western civilization itself. This is a time for concerted prayer, divine wisdom and greater courage than we have ever been called upon to exercise.
James Dobson
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
Touching Hearts, Changing Lives.
James Dobson
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
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
It is deeply moving, powerful, and disturbing. A film that must be seen.
James Dobson
Great beginnings are not as important as the way one finishes.
James Dobson
It is my view that our society can be no more stable than the foundation of individual family units upon which it rests. Our government, our institutions, our schools...indeed, our way of life are dependent on healthy marriages and loyalty to the vulnerable little children around our feet.
James Dobson
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
[P]ain is a marvelous purifier. . . It is not necessary to beat the child into submission a little bit of pain goes a long way for a young child. However, the spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely.
James Dobson
We are so busy giving our children what we never had that we forget to give them what we did have.
James Dobson
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
The right to criticize must be earned, even if the advice is constructive in nature.
James Dobson
If traditional marriage is not the law of the land, the institution of the family will cease to exist.
James Dobson
Behavior runs in deep channels that were cut during early childhood, and it is very difficult to alter them. In order to change a deeply ingrained pattern, you have to build a sturdy dam, dig another canal and reroute the river in the new direction. That effort is rarely successful over the long haul.
James Dobson
A disturbing prospect looms before us as Americans consider the possibility of a second term for President Barack Obama. Millions of conservatives who revere the Constitution, with its guarantees of freedom and limited government, have watched with alarm as the campaign season has unfolded.
James Dobson
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
Children represent God's most generous gift to us.
James Dobson
