40 Day Love Dare

Jeremy and I started "Love Dare" it's from the movie Fireproof. It's a marriage series, you read a section, do the love dare for 40 days. Take a look: http://thelovedarebook.com/ .
We are on our third dare today.
Day 1: don't say anything negative about your spouse.
Day 2: do one unexpected act of kindness for your spouse.
Day 3: buy your spouse something that says you were thinking about them.

Basically you read a short section about love, then read and complete the dare, then the next day write about the dare, how you both did on completing it and what you learned from it.

I really like this book. We don't have a lot of time, yes I know you make time for this stuff, but it's true! And this book is an easy read and takes less than 5 minutes a day. On our 40th day or 41st we are going to watch the Fireproof movie. I'm really excited about the dares and learning different ways to show my favorite person what he means to me. It's always fun to learn new ways to show my husband I love him, and learn how I can better love him. :-) Some of the dares I can tell will be easy, because we are not in a troubled marriage, but some would be hard for anyone. Just reading ahead...Day 5: Ask your spouse to tell you 3 things that you do that irritate them. I'm still very excited about the next 40 days...or 36, whatever!

By the way for today's dare...without even talking about it, or knowing we did it. We bought each other the same thing! Energy drinks : )
