Hello, everyone. You're listening to Family Talk, a radio broadcasting ministry of the James

Dobson Family Institute. I'm Dr. James Dobson, and thank you for joining us for this program.

Well, welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh. Do you ever wonder what makes some marriages not just

survive, but truly thrive over decades? Well, on today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's family talk,

we're going to introduce you to a couple of everyday heroes who know how to go about that firsthand.

Mark and Jan Yokers have spent nearly 60 years strengthening marriages

through their ministry of grace and restoration. Their journey began at a Christian college where they

fell in love. But the real story is how they weathered life's challenges together and, boy, did they

come through some big ones. Most remarkably, they stood strong even as they watched

hundreds of marriages around them literally crumble during a devastating church scandal. But instead

of becoming casualties themselves, Mark and Jan emerged with deeper wisdom about what makes

marriage relationships last. And now they're helping other couples transform their marriages by applying

the timeless principles they've discovered. The story of Mark and Jan Yokers reminds us that

extraordinary marriages aren't about avoiding problems, they're about growing through them

together. Let's join today's host, our own Gary Bauer, for this inspiring conversation

on today's edition of Dr. James

Dobson's Family Talk.
