Day 6: Love is not irritable

10/20/16

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city. —Proverbs 16:32

TODAY’S DARE
Choose today to react to tough circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation. Begin by making a list below of areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations that you need to release from your life.

Journal questions: Where do you need to add margin (space to do things you don't get to) to your life? When have you recently overreacted? What was your real motivation behind it? Consider what things you should say "no" to, so that you can be free to prioritize the "best things". What decisions have you made today?

My responses: I've already added margins. I put Steve and our family first, always. Everyday I look for ways to strengthen our bond and to fix what's broken with him, and recently started the Love Dare and we're doing "Saving Your Marriage before It Starts" workbook. I've carved out time each day to build and sustain my relationship with God with worship music, teaching tapes and Bible studies.
