Love Like You Mean It by Dr. James Dobson

Guest: Bob Lepine

Part 1
Contrary to the claims of pop culture, love is not singularly emotional, or even necessarily romantic. Biblically speaking, the cornerstone of marital love is an unflinching commitment to one’s spouse and a Christ-like posture of self-sacrifice. In Bob Lepine’s new book, Love Like You Mean It (based on 1 Corinthians 13), he explains that patience, kindness, and humility are like marital disinfectants which help wash away the toxins that can build up over time.

Part 2
Many people casually believe that marriage should be a 50/50 proposition. But they’re wrong. Because that would be describing a performance-based marriage, where a husband and wife are always keeping score. Bob Lepine, author of Love Like You Mean It, cautions that we simply need to serve each other, instead of asking, "Did he or she pull their weight today?" Inspired by Jesus Himself, Bob describes how both partners in a Christian marriage should always give 100%.
