Love Dare

Have you seen the movie Fireproof? Have you heard of the Love Dare? The dare challenges married couples to learn to love deeper and stronger by presenting a new dare each day.

I gave myself the book for the feast of the Epiphany I am going to do the dare on my husband so that the final day is St. Valentine's Day. While I don't think that my marriage is a bad one I do feel that it could be so much more. I know that I will blog about it from time to time over the next forty days.

Yesterday was the first day. The challenge, to say nothing negative to my husband. This sounds so simply and yet had you been at my house the evening before last it would not have been. Call it exhaustion and disappointment, but there were a lot of negative things said. Last nigh was different. Perhaps I had a better attitude. I think it had more to do with I had resolved to do this. I spent the entire evening thinking over everything I said and evaluating it for a positive vibe. It really didn't seem hard. I think that I did all right.
