• The Love Dare, Epilogue

  Congratulations.  You've reached the end of the Love Dare - the book.  But the experience and challenge of loving your spouse is something that never comes to an end.  It goes on for the rest of your life.

  The book ends at Day 40 but who says the dare has to stop? Actions to make habit,

  1.  Practice patience.  Say nothing negative.

  2.  Do unexpected gestures as acts of kindness.

  3.  Buy him something that says, "I was thinking of you."

  4.  Point out my husband positive attributes.

  5.  Greet my husband with a kiss.

  6.  Purposefully neglect an activity I would normally do to spend quality time with my husband.

  7.  Prepare a special dinner for the two of us.

  8.  Love is a choice, not a feeling.  Lead my own heart.

  9.  Pray for my husband more often.

  10.  Stay in touch with our marriage mentors, who by the way, are strong Christians and are honest and loving with us.   

  Love is too holy a treasure to trade in for another, and too powerful a bond to be broken without dire consequences.  Fasten your love afresh on this one the Lord has given you to cherish, prize, and honor.  Your life together is before you.  Dare to take hold of it and never let go.
