Lovin' The Love Dare

If you don't have this book...GET IT! It's so good! It's a 40 day plan to strengthen your marriage and is based on the movie Fireproof. Each day is only about a page and a half and at the end it gives you a little challenge to complete which is kinda fun. I have already seen some major changes in myself and my marriage since starting this. I love it! Here is some highlights that I loved from the book (and I am ONLY on day 6)

*Love will inspire you to become a patient person.
*Anger almost never makes things better.
*Patience stops problems in its tracks.
*It is a choice to control your emotions rather than allowing your emotions to control you.
*Patience helps you give your spouse permission to be human.
*Love makes you kind, and kindness makes you likable, when you are kind, people want to be around you, they see you as being good to them and for them.
*Kindness graces a wife with the ability to serve her husband without worrying about her rights.
*Kindness thinks ahead, takes the first step, greets first, smiles first, serves first, and forgives first.
*Don't require the other person to get there act together before showing love.
*Love sacrifices your wants and wishes to make sure your spouses needs are met.
Love thinks before speaking, it filters words through a grid of truth and kindness.
