Love Dare, week 4
Did you know that statistics say your marriage won't last? Did you know that society expects your marriage to end in divorce? Did you know the Love Dare is about transforming and defying the low expectations of marriage?
No one is plotting to make your life miserable. What is being asked is that you make a decision. Decide to do what's right, even when it means sacrificing your own comfort. Even when you don't FEEL like it.
One of the most important things you should learn on your Love Dare journey is that you should not just follow your heart. You should lead it. You don't let your feelings and emotions do the driving. You put them in the back seat and tell them where you're going.
That's what love dares to do - to say, "Of all the relationships I have, I will value ours the most. Of all things I'm willing to sacrifice, I will sacrifice the most for you. With all your failures, sins, mistakes, and faults - past and present - I will choose to love and honor you." That's how you create an atmosphere for love to be rekindled. That's how you lead your heart to truly love your mate again. And that's the beauty of honor.
Read it. Do it. Your life will be changed forever.

I agree! We're on day 5 of the Love Dare. I can't even describe into words what is already happening between us. Certainly a different level of consciousness about how we behave and what we say. A new energy. I'm so blessed that I have a husband willing to take this journey with me!
@fourkidsonemom - I am learning that time spent on our marriage is an investment that pays abundant dividends.
