My Love Dare Journal: Day 29: Love’s motivation

11/12/16
Render service with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men. —Ephesians 6:7

TODAY’S DARE
Before you see your spouse again today, pray for them by name and for their needs. Whether it comes easy for you or not, say “I love you,” then express love to them in some tangible way. Go to God in prayer again, thanking Him for giving you the privilege of loving this one special person—unconditionally, the way He loves both of you.

Fireproof - Love Dare Challenge

For 40 days we will challenge ourselves to draw closer to each other and to God. My boyfriend and I have been seeing a Couple's Therapist once a week for almost a year. It has been more of a struggle to stay "on solid ground" rather than an incline forward, growing and gaining ground. Him and I have agreed to do the 40 day Love Dare together. We saw Fireproof the movie last year (after I asked him many times to watch it). We purchased the Fireproof Your Marriage DVD & workbooks as well, but are starting out with the 40 Day Love Dare first.

The start...
10/14/16 was the night we planned to do the Homework from last night Therapy session. We went over the 'Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts" workbooks and actually did Quiz 2 together. We also discussed the Love Dare and he agreed to do it each day.

I jumped right in with Day 1 that next day, as I do with most everything. I tend to take preventative and proactive steps, while he tends to be reactive. The next week at Therapy, he hadn't started or done any quizzes. The Therapist asked me to stay on hold for Day 5 until he caught up. (ugh waiting for him to catch up has been the bur in my saddle all along). LOL Day 1 is Love is Patient....

Go to the bottom of the page and start with Day 1: Love is Patient, to follow the journey.
