Most importantly, Dr. Dobson reveals his firm belief in the need for the right foundation - a lasting faith in Jesus Christ, the only source of meaning in life.

What makes marriages fail? James Dobson, a noted commentator on family health, identifies mutual disrespect as the underlying cause. His book addresses this problem. Dobson examines the conflicts occurring between husbands and wives -- infidelity, alcoholism, emotional indifference -- and offers practical advice for the partner who wants to hold the marriage together. "What emerges is a principle of loving toughness that is applicable not only to families in crisis, but to healthy marriages as well. Genuine love, it would appear, simply must be tough if it is to survive the stresses of today's world." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board) Slightly edited for radio presentation.
