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, welcome to Family Talk, the broadcast division of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh. Ask any father with a daughter, and he'll tell you there's nothing quite like that special bond.

Something unique happens between a dad and his little girl, and what he does with that relationship will shape her for the rest of her life.

On today's edition of Family Talk, we're going to revisit a conversation Dr. Dobson had with his

good friend Robert Wulamuth, one of the most respected voices in the literary world, and the author

of the landmark book called She Calls Me Daddy, Seven Things You Need to Know about Building a Complete Daughter.

Now, Robert Wulgamuth knew this subject, not just as a writer, but also as a father who lived

it out through his years of raising his daughters, Missy and Julie. Now, both daughters

joined the conversation on today's program, along with their mother, Bobby Wulgamuth, who

sadly passed away in the fall of 2014 after a brave

battle with cancer. Robert then remarried. He and his wife, author, and ministry leader Nancy Lee DeMoss

led Revive Our Hearts Ministries for many years until Robert went home to be with the Lord earlier this year.

Today we'll hear Robert Wulgamuth and Dr. Dobson dig into some of the most

important principles a dad can carry, the balance of love and discipline, the power of open

conversation, and why only a father can fill that role that God has designed specifically for

him. So let's revisit this conversation right now on today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's family talk.

This is more than just a writing project for you. This really comes out of your heart, doesn't it?

It really does. It comes out of when people have asked me how long it took to write,

sometimes I say 25 years,

because that really is the truth.
