Everyone wants a good marriage, but how far are you willing to go to make it happen? Author Linda Dillow challenges women to take a hard look at themselves, and ask the question: “What’s it like to be married to me?” Men and women have different needs: women need love and intimacy, and men desire respect. It’s important not to take your spouse for granted, but instead, ask God to show you how to love your husband more.

Bringing Up Boys
With so much confusion about the role of men in society, it’s no wonder we have questions about how to bring up boys in the right way. Why are so many young males in crisis? What qualities should we be instilling in our sons? The culture has vilified masculinity, and as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man. To help parents confront this challenge, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute has developed a new 10-day email series based on Dr. Dobson’s best-selling book, Bringing Up Boys. It’s designed to equip you to wisely lead your sons to become godly men.
