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, and by the way, this week we are celebrating Dr. Dobson's birthday, and we've got

a very special opportunity for you to take advantage of some outstanding resources to honor

this occasion. I'll tell you about that coming up at the end of the

broadcast. You know, we are so glad that you've tuned in today because we do have something truly

special in store for you on this broadcast of Family Talk. You know, for decades, you've heard

Dr. James Dobson interview fascinating guests here on the program. But on today's program and the

next edition of Family Talk,

we're going to be turning the tables, and I'm going to be stepping in as co-host to interview Dr.

Dobson himself. While you may have been listening to Dr. Dobson for several years, or perhaps you've

read many of his books, but there's still so much about his personal journey that you may not know.

On today's edition of family talk, he'll share

stories from his early life, including how he met and courted his lovely wife, Shirley.

He'll also share some memorable rookie mistakes that he made in their marriage, and will be

reflecting on becoming a parent as well. Now, I know you will not want to miss a minute of these

captivating stories as Dr. Dobson

opens up about his personal life in ways he rarely has before. So let's jump right into my conversation

with Dr. James Dobson on today's edition of Family Talk. Dr. Are you ready to get started?

Are you sure you want to do this? Well, you've invited me here. I'm wandering into this territory very, very carefully, Dr. Dobson.
