Love Dare Challenge, Day 3

Love is not selfish
Romans 12:10

The Dare
- Buy your spouse something that says, "I was thinking of you today."

So I didn't get a chance to look at the challenge today until just now, but I ended up doing it without knowing.

Luke's been having some dental work done, and has a hole in one of his teeth. It gets icky for him sometimes. I picked up some Listerine without being asked today!

Yea me!

Love Dare Challenge, Day 2 Update

I did good!

I took all the dishes downstairs, something I usually leave for him. I also left him alone to play WoW while I watched ANTM season 2.

Love Dare Challenge, Day 2

Love is kind
Ephesians 4:32

The Dare
- Do at least one unexpected gesture as an act of kindness.

This one should be a breeze. I feel like I do this a lot all the time, so let's see if I can do it today!

Love Dare Challenge, Day 1 Update

Well, I think I did pretty good. I only got frustrated with him one time, and it was because I had to repeat myself four times. When he's playing "World of Warcraft," he's in the zone. He hears nothing unless he starts the conversation.

However, he did tell me he didn't want me to do this challenge because he thinks we have a pretty stable, healthy relationship and have great communication.

I would agree, but I think there's always something to improve, so I will try.

Love Dare Challenge, Day 1

So, I've been checking out my friend Matt Thien's website, following him on Twitter, etc. (Yes, I do ACTUALLY know Matt Thien. Touch me twice!) He keeps talking about this "Love Dare Challenge" thing, and so once I found out what it is, I decided I would try it. It's a 40 day commitment to do small things for your spouse/partner to make sure they know you love and appreciate them.

Today will be day one. My challenge:

Love is patient
Ephesians 4:2

The Dare
- For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all.

Why This Could Be Hard For Me;
-I am not a patient person, and have NEVER been mistaken for one.
-I love to complain. I don't mean it in a negative way, I complain to get things off my chest and then I'm done with it.

Why This Could Be Easy For Me:
-I adore Luke, and have a forgiveness with him that I don't have for my own brother (working on that, I promise!)

WIll update you by day's end.
