The Love Dare – Day 5: Love Is Not Rude

Today’s dare requires me to ask my wife a question. It’s a question that unlike me, so how do I do it without giving away that I’m doing the Love Dare, or somehting like it.

Ask my wife to tell me three things that cause her to be uncomfortable or irritaded with me. I must do so without attacking her or justifying my behavior. This is from her perspective only.

I’m going to leave this one unprotected (from password) so that if anyone happens to know  of a way I can do this as smooth as possible… that would be aweosme!

Then tomorrow morning I’ll (private) post about what she said.

Thanks you God for using this tool to learn about how you love and how I should love my wife.

The Love Dare

Last year, Pastor Craig encouraged the church to see the movie Fireproof. In it, Kirk Cameron plays Caleb Holt, a firefighter and husband who’s losing a battle in his marriage. His dad challenges him to commit to a 40-day experiment: “The Love Dare”, which dares Caleb each day with a task to show love towards his wife. Good movie for us married guys. I’m going to buy it soon to watch on my iphone.

Anyways, you can now buy that book. I did.

So last night I began my dare not knowing what I’m about to get into. But I don’t care what I have to do. Bring it, book!
I will not fail as a husband. I will learn what true love is.

Jesus, I’ve never truly known your love. I’ve only loved myself. Please teach me what love is and how to love my wife (and others).
