Image
Marriage succeeds only as lifetime commitment with no escape clauses.
James Dobson
Image
Clearly, unless the Lord chooses to explain Himself to us, which often He does not, His motivation and purposes are beyond the reach of mortal man. What this means in practical terms is that many of our questions - especially those that begin with the word 'why' - will have to remain unanswered for the time being.
James Dobson

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
One of the problems with sex education... is that it also strips kids - especially girls - of their modesty to have every detail of anatomy, physiology and condom usage made explicit.
James Dobson
Image
By learning to yield to the loving authority of his parents, a child learns to submit to other forms of authority which will confront him later in his life — his teachers, school principal, police, neighbors and employers.
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
My observation is that women are merely waiting for their husbands to assume leadership.
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
My legacy doesn't matter. It isn't important that I be remembered. It's important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' I want to finish strong.
James Dobson
Image
Children represent God's most generous gift to us.
James Dobson
Image
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
Image
I cannot, and will not, vote for Senator John McCain, as a matter of conscience.
James Dobson
Image
Show me a husband who keeps his thoughts to himself, and I will show you a frustrated wife.
James Dobson
Image
Faith in God - life can never take you by surprise again.
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.
James Dobson
Image
There is nothing more important than parents passing on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children.
James Dobson
Image
We are so busy giving our children what we never had that we forget to give them what we did have.
James Dobson
Image
We Americans are living a lifestyle of exhaustion. We don't have time for ourselves, much less for each other and our children.
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
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
