Summary

Many people casually believe that marriage should be a 50/50 proposition.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson concludes his tough discussion with Bob Lepine on the biblical understanding of what real love is supposed to be. 1 Corinthians 13:7-8 says, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” Are you up for the challenge to follow the Lord’s instruction and take your marriage to a deeper level?
