Welcome everyone to Family Talk,

it's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute

supported by listeners just like you.

I'm Dr. James Dobson and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

Well, hello everyone and welcome into Family Talk.

I'm Dr. Tim Clinton, co-host of the program here

at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm honored to serve alongside Dr. Dobson

as resident authority on mental health

and relationships here at the JDFI.

We're so glad you've joined us today.

Now, if you're married, you probably have said something

like this to your spouse on your wedding day.

I, Tim, take the Julie to be my wedded wife,

to have and to hold from this day forward

for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and health, to love and to cherish

till death, that's due part.

Hey, this is some beautiful, important, meaningful words.

And many of us at the beginning of our marriage

may not fully realize the gravity of what it takes

to live out those words day in and day out.
