The Love Dare – The First 7 Days. After exercising a full 7 days of the Love Dare, I have learned quite a bit about myself along with the reminder that LOVE IS patient, kind, thoughtful, and believes the best; and that LOVE IS NOT selfish, rude, irritable, or jealous. It’s been an eye opener and humbling on my end, but my marriage is definitely worth the challenge. Plus I have to admit, patience and positivity along with acts of kindness and praise, feels so much better than the opposite.
So just to recap, the first 7 challenges of The Love Dare were:
- Resolve to demonstrate patience and say nothing negative
- Do an unexpected gesture as an act of kindness
- Buy something that says you were thinking of your spouse
- Ask your spouse how they’re doing and if there something you could do for them
- Have your spouse tell you of 3 things that you do that irritate or make them feel uncomfortable
- Make a list of where you need to add margin to your schedule and selfish motivations that need releasing from your life
- Make two lists with the positive and negative things about your spouse. Pick a positive and praise your spouse
I plan to keep them nearby just in case I need a friendly reminder. And now to carry on to day 8 of the challenge 🙂 Peace
