Fact: I am a daring kind of girl

For Valentines Day this year I dragged my husband into "The Love Dare". He came in kicking and screaming that is no joke-we literally fought over starting last night or tonight. I win. One day in and we have already broken the rule of being patient with each other. Arguing at 9am, only 3 hours from wake up - YIKES.

Secretly, I am hoping over the next 40 days he will transform into a praying lovelorn fool.  I think he secretly is hoping I lose the book. So we will see, the book says it is hard to complete right there when you open it.
I havent seen the movie so I am not exactly sure "how" you do it, but we will read and do our best to get it right. I will do my best not to lose the dang book. I searched around a bit for testimonials, to date I havent found many; other than the folks who work at K-Love. But come on, they WORK at K-Love! Obviously they dont have much choice to just quit the dare now do they? Other than that it looks as if most give up after the first couple weeks. I admit that I cheated and read ahead, and honestly it does look like more than my hubbs is willing to do. Only thing I can say its worth a shot. He he may have argued a bit but, he read it with me last night, he brought it up to me today, we will read again tonight, and try again tomorrow. One day at a time. I will let you know what happens....

UPDATE !! 02/21/11 ....

                   So, we are 8 days in and I am actually a bit surprised. I had a negative though process coming into this that we would surely have given up by now. I am pleased to report, I was wrong. I should have known right? God is good – ALL THE TIME, all the time GOD IS GOOD. So far it has really brought the two of us closer, definetly made us more aware of the others thoughts and feelings. My husband is actually bringing up the book in daily conversation and he is excited to read each new day. I think its something to do with the “dare” part about it. Like it’s a challenge and if he does it he wins, he is a sports buff by nature and he LOVES to win. Whatever it is, its Awesome and I am excited for each new day. I would recommend this to anyone who is in a marriage "stale" spot. More to come !
UPDATE!! 03/22/11 - We missed a day here and there but we have recovered them well and kept on track. Things continue to go well and we have began praying together. This is something I would have NEVER though would come out of my mouth. Its been very positive to say the least, I am so happy we did this. Its currently day 32- I wont say what the dare is but it involves Sex, this is hubbs fave dare of all he said.  Duh!! LOL
