I first heard about Night Light through my boss, who had been reading it every night with his wife. I have long been impressed with their marriage, so it’s not like this book was revolutionary for them or anything. Nevertheless, I thought that if they enjoyed it, perhaps my wife and I would also.
Dobson can put a lot of people off with his politics. In fact I find it a little strange to recommend his book in the wake of the recent statements about Obama in his political action arm of Focus on the Family. However, when he stays in his realm of Christian parenting and family issues, Dobson is a kind and gentle man. This book is further proof. The nightly devotionals are a good reminder of the presence of and necessity of God in every marriage. By remembering this, we connect with our spouse as the last moment of the day, consecrating our life together towards his will. The next morning usually starts off better.
