Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that [is] thy portion in [this] life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 9:9 KJV)
One of the most important things you should learn in this love dare journey is that you should not follow your heart. You need to LEAD IT!
You will not always feel like loving.
Enjoy your spouse
Desire his conversation
If your irritable, it is because you choose to be.
Read Song Of Solomon 2:3-4
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste. [4] He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me [was] love. (Song of Songs 2:3-4 KJV)
Today's dare may be directing you to a real change of heart.
It is your responsibility to relearn what you LOVE about your spouse.
Today's Dare
Purposefully neglect an activity you would normally do so you can spend quality time with your husband. Do something he would love to do or a project he would really like to work on. Does he tinker in the garage, or out in the shop? Sit with him out there and just enjoy at chat together. Does he have a favorite TV show he likes to watch but you would rather no watch? Sit with him. Just be together.
Questions
What did you decide to give up? What did you do together? How did it go? What new thing did you learn or relearn?
