Summary

Conflict is an uncomfortable but inevitable part of every relationship. How you and your spouse handle conflict will determine the quality of your marriage. Today on Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his discussion with marital experts, Dr. Scott Stanley and the late Dr. Gary Smalley. James 3:6 says, “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.” Discover healthier ways to communicate and foster good will with your spouse instead of tearing each other down.

0:00.0	Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute
0:05.1	supported by listeners just like you. I'm Dr. James Dobson and I'm thrilled that
0:10.6	you've joined us. Each and every person is intricately created by God with separate views, opinions, and characteristics.
