supported by listeners just like you. I'm Dr. James Dobson and I'm thrilled that

you've joined us. Well, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast division of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh, and today we are continuing a discussion on the topic of protecting

your marital relationship.

Here now is a story from today's guest. It's an example of how devastating

not protecting your marriage can be. I remember again in my childhood I knew a couple

of couples in our church that would socialize together and they did this for years and it of our

couple in our church that would socialize together and they did this for years and it was just known that the husband of one of the couples and the wife of the other

would tease each other flirtatiously in front of the other spouses and it was just funny everybody thought it was funny but

then one of the couples went through a little rocky period and the woman said to

the guy just asked him if he was ever serious about his little comments.

Well, he liked the sound of that,

and they got more flirtatious, broke up both marriages,

got married, and of course that marriage didn't last.

Now he got three marriages broken,

and you talk about chaos, kids on every side.

And it all started with what people thought was innocent flirting.

That was Dr Dobson's guest for today's program, author and speaker Jerry B Jenkins. Jerry is a New York

Times best-selling author and co-author of the famous Left Behind series with

Dr Tim Le Hay. Jerry B Jenkins previously worked at the Moody Bible Institute as the Vice President of Publishing and also Board Chairman.

Today Jerry will discuss with Dr Dobson how to go about properly setting hedges with your spouse.
