My Love Dare Journal: Day 40: Love is a covenant

11/23/16

Where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. —Ruth 1:16

TODAY’S DARE
Write out a renewal of your vows and place them in your home. Perhaps, if appropriate, you could make arrangements to formally renew your wedding vows before a minister and with family present. Make it a living testament to the value of marriage in God’s eyes and the high honor of being one with your mate.

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.
