You know, it's interesting to consider that even captains of industry recognize the importance of the family.

For example, American automobile executive Lee Ayacocca once said,

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works is the family.

You're going to hear how to help your family stay steady on today's episode of Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

Thanks for joining us.

I'm John Fuller.

Well, we always enjoy having Dr. Gary Chapman visit us in the studio.

But today and next time, we're going to present a very dynamic message that he shared at a large church in his hometown.

And as you said, John, the topic is improving the strength of your family.

Dr. Gary Chapman is a counselor and he's the author of the best-selling series of books

based on the five love languages.

I know some of you are nodding your head right now because you read the book.

He has his own talk show

on the Moody Radio Network, and he's been a great friend to focus on the family over the years.

And here's Dr. Gary Chapman speaking at St. Peter's Church and World Outreach Center in

Winston-Salem, North Carolina on today's episode of Focus on the Family with Jim Daley.

I want to tell you before I start what I hope is going to happen in the brief time that we spend together tonight.

My first desire is that your family relationships will get better.

That'd be all right with you? You know, family relationships will get better.

That'd be all right with you?

You know, family relationships either get better or they get worse, they never stand still.

And I certainly hope your family will not get worse because I can.
