The best gift I could ever give my relationships is to work on who I am within them.

And as I change, the transformation isn't a private one it begins to ripple out to every

bond I built that's Dr Leslie Parrot and she's with us today on focus on the

family along with her husband,

Dr. Les Parrot and your host is Focus on the Family President and author Jim

Daly. I'm John Fuller and thanks for joining us.

John, what we do here at Focus pretty much is marriage at the heart of everything because families

that's where it all begins.

Parenting is important to us as well, but it starts with marriage and keeping marriage is healthy is the goal and we want to make sure we're doing all we can to fulfill that

part of our mission and today we're going to have a great discussion about

getting healthy in yourself so that those around you, including most importantly, your spouse,

you can have the healthiest relationship possible.

And you know, the fact is if you want a healthy marriage you have to be healthy yourself.

That's the bottom line.

That's what our guests are talking about with us today.

And Les and Leslie have been married since 1984.

They have two sons and Les is a clinical psychologist Leslie a

marriage and family therapist and they're very popular conference speakers

and relationship experts and best-selling authors and today we're going to be touching on their book

Healthy Me, Healthy Us. The subtitle is your relationships are only as strong as you

are really driving home, Jim, that point you were making.

Less and Leslie let me welcome you to focus on the family, welcome you back.
