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. I'm Roger Marsh. Have you ever found yourself in an argument with your spouse,

and at some point you begin to realize that you can't even remember how it started in the first place?

Well, on today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's family talk, Dr. Dobson sits down with Dr. Emerson Egerich,

founder and president of Love and Respect

Ministries. Dr. Egrich's groundbreaking book, Love and Respect has sold over, are you ready for this,

1.6 million copies, and it earned New York Times bestseller distinction as well. His message

is built on a powerful truth from Ephesians chapter 5 verse 33,

that husbands need respect and wives need love.

On today's edition of Family Talk, we're going to hear Dr. Dobson and Dr. Egerich

unpack this life-changing principle.

So buckle up.

It's going to be a great conversation on today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk.

I have great love and appreciation for this man.

I'm speaking of Dr. Emerson Egritch, who is the founder and president of Love and Respect Ministries.

He and his wife Sarah hold Love and Respect marriage conferences all over the country.

He's a former senior pastor at Trinity Church in Lansing, Michigan.

And he's a New York Times bestselling author of the book, Love and Respect. I want to talk to him about that. That sold more than 2 million copies, and it has been a phenomenon. Dr. Egridge,

how nice to have you with us. You completed your PhD in Child and Family Ecology at Michigan State University. Do they still play football there?

The Spartans are still on the gridiron, yes. I'm a Trojan from USC, so that's a sensitive

subject. We can still be friends. We won't talk about that anymore. His work academically has then gone on to have influence in the church and outside of it.
