Day 10 Finished

Day 10: Love is unconditional

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

—Romans 5:8

TODAY’S DARE

Do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse—something that proves (to you and to them) that your love is based on your choice and nothing else. Wash her car. Clean the kitchen. Buy his favorite dessert. Fold the laundry. Demonstrate love to them for the sheer joy of being their partner in marriage.

-Today I didn’t wash her car… I didn’t clean the kitchen… I didn’t even buy her flowers.
I believe I demonstrated that I love her and love being her partner by the words that I said.
Thinking of everything she has done for me and our special time spent together really makes me realize how much I really love her… There was question whether or not I was with her because of our son- which is absolute nonsense. Yes we share the most beautiful baby boy ever placed on this planet, but I want to be with my partner because I, I being the key word, WANT to be with my partner. This past weekend really proved to me all over again how much I really love her… Anyways, before I get off track-
I described to her that I want to be with her and that she’s the one for me. I told her that I never want to be with anyone else except her, and it’s true. I feel progress :) I hope she does too.

Day 11 Tomorrow-

Day 11: Love cherishes

Husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies.

—Ephesians 5:28

TODAY’S DARE

What need does your spouse have that you could meet today? Can you run an errand? Give a back rub or foot massage? Is there housework you could help with? Choose a gesture that says, “I cherish you” and do it with a smile.

-It’s funny.. Just a few days ago I did this exact thing, with a smile on, and I didn’t even read ahead on all of the dares.. I guess I really am on the right track. I’ve always done this type of thing though. I feel proud.. It’s hard doing most of these dares due to my distance, but I sure will try my best to think of something to do. See you tomorrow.
