Love Dare Day 1

I read Fire Proof a LONG time ago and also watched the movie and when I read the book I picked up The Love Dare as well. It is a 40 day challenge to help strengthen your relationship. Now, I had decided then that I would complete the Love Dare on my husband and to be honest I never did that because I could NEVER get past Day 1. I have no idea why but it's VERY hard for me to actually get through it. I think the reason is because my husband and I joke around a lot and the things said though we both understand are NOT meant to be hurtful they still defeat the purpose of Day 1! Now with that said this is what it says for Day 1.

　

Day 1: Love is patient

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

—Ephesians 4:2 NIV

TODAY’S DARE
The first part of this dare is fairly simple. Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart. For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything. It’s better to hold your tongue than to say something you’ll regret


It's sad to say that even though I do NOT mean what I say towards my husband that I do say negative things that really should not be said. I should be able to find better ways to say what I want to say without it just being rude. So, I have decided that tomorrow I will redo Day 1 and see if I have any better luck then I did today! :)
