• Love Dare - Week 1

  A note to my dear husband who often reads my blog, Do Not read this entry any further.  Thank you. 

   

   

  "The truth is, love is a decision and not just a feeling."

  "The Love Dare journey is not a process of trying to change your spouse to be the person you want them to be."

  "Remember, you have the responsibility to protect and guide your heart.  Don't give up and don't get discouraged."

  "Resolve to lead your heart and to make it through to the end." 

  "It is difficult to demonstrate love when you feel little to no motivation.  But love in its truest sense is not based on feelings.  Rather, love determines to show thoughtful actions even when there seems to be no reward."

  Let's change our married lives for the better.  Will you join me?

  Overview for week 1:  (Actions that might require extra thought and preparations)

  Day 2:  An unexpected gesture as an act of kindness.  Don't wait for your spouse to be kind first.  You will never learn to love until you learn to demonstrate kindness.

  Day 3:  Buy your spouse something that says, "I was thinking of you today."  Whatever you put your time, energy, and money into will become more important to you. 

  Let's devote a little time each day to reading the day's Dare and putting it to action.  What do we have to lose?  Better yet, what do we have to gain? 

  If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

  If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and knowledge; and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

  And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 

  1 Corinthians 13:1-3
