Day 3

. Love is not Selfish .

Finally. A dare directed at Eddie and Me. I think while I was reading this one he was remembering when we first started dating and we both were unselfish. We just wanted each other to be happy so we did all we could to make sure the other was smiling. Unfortunately one seems to always take more than the other and one get's pulled too thin. I think that's what happened and now we are both selfish.

Day 2

Love is kind, what can I do that is kind? When i think of kindness I think of a smile or compliments, maybe I can send out a geniune compliment. One to let Eddie know that I'm constantly appreciative of all that he does for me and Titan. <3 that sounds lovely.

I wish these days weren't so long and that I got to spend more time practicing everyday what the Love Dare Book is all about. but I'll take my hour a night alone with Eddie over nothing at all. When he was gone I felt so empty and alone. Like nobody could make me feel better but him. It's funny how it's so easy to be in love when you don't have somebody in your life every day. The pain you go through while they are gone is more painful than anything I've ever felt but it's also rewarding because it gives you a chance to make up your mind as to what you really want in life.

Love is kind. I can feel it.

Day 1

So last night we read day one of the love dare together. I admitted that it's not him that needs to learn patience, it's me. I'll work on that.

Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. (James 1:19)

This is the verse I write on my heart today.

40 Day Love Dare

Ok like many I'm looking for a solution to marriage. - There's no right way to go about this. I suppose I just have to start and remember to everyday practice what I am learning. I want this to be an important journey in our life. One we will look back on when we are 75 and laugh about. Noting how much it changed our outlook on our marriage and eachother. I start with my wedding vows. As a reminder of the promise I made to the man I married and to God.


On July 11th 2009 I took these vows:

I take you to be my partner, loving what I know of you,

and trusting what I do not yet know.

I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together,

getting to know the person you will become,

and falling in love a little more everyday.

I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life my bring us.
