40 days.


Yesterday I jumped on the bandwagon that I've heard nothing but good things about, and started the "Love Dare".

Day 1: Love is patient. Something I need to learn a whole lot about.

When you choose to be patient, you respond in a positive way to a negative situation. You are slow to anger. You choose to have a long fuse instead of a quick temper. Rather than being restless and demanding, love helps you settle down and begin extending mercy to those around you. Patience brings an internal calm during an external storm.
{excerpt from the book}

I am really excited to read this book and begin this challenge.

Here's to hoping I can learn to love my husband {and show my love to him} in a whole new way.

  1. Have you seen the movie Fireproof? It's one of our favorites and I highly recommend it! Ben and I have a pact to watch it at least once every year together.

  2. Maggie - yes, we have! It's a good movie, terrible acting, but a great concept. :)
