The Love Dare is a 40 day journey for a spouse to go through to become closer to God and closer to their spouse. If you have seen the movie Fireproof, it is the book used to mend the couple's relationship back together after some trying times. It's a great movie and if you haven't seen it, I really recommend watching it!!
The Love Dare has a passage for every day teaching you how to be a better spouse and giving you examples from the Bible. At the end of each day is a "dare" in which you perform a task and once it is completed you move on to the next passage. I know 40 weeks is a long time but I thought we could do one passage per week rather than each day. Some weeks I may do 2 or 3. We'll just see how it goes! I feel like doing one per day doesn't really give you the time to think the passage through and apply it to your life. I don't know that I'll type out every paragraph word for word because that would make for a very long post but I will hit the most important parts of every passage. I really hope y'all will join me in this journey and we can all learn and grow together!! I thought I would start next Wednesday and do a passage each Wednesday. Throughout the week y'all can leave comments on the post telling me how it's going and what you think about the specific passage. I'm really excited about this and I hope we can all share this journey together!! I can't wait to learn more about y'all and your relationships and have the opportunity to help and be helped!! So what do y'all think? Are you in??
I love this idea! I haven't seen Fireproof yet and I hadn't heard about The Love Dare, but you have certainly caught my interest. My husband and I have a great relationship (we are best friends) but every relationship has room for improvement. I would love to look into this and talk about it with him.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I love your blog! I learn something new every day and you give me such great ideas! :)
I heard about The Love Dare and wondered what it was! Please keep us updated with how it's going!
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea! I also have the book and have not started it yet. Let me know if you want me to scan the pages and i can e-mail them weekly to you.
ReplyDeleteI have a fancy scanner at work that is superfast!
Enjoy your vacation.
I too love this idea! I think it will make your marriage even stronger and help you gain a better relationship with God in your marriage, which is very important! I cannot wait to read about your passages and "dares"
ReplyDeleteHow fun and great!
I loved the movie Fireproof. We have not read the Love Dare yet, but we are currently reading Love and Respect in a small group at church and I HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend it!! I think we will definitely attempt The Love Dare next!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the movie but haven't heard of this. Let's all give it a go!

ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous idea!! I haven't seen the movie, but may have to before Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteSign me up! And since we live so close maybe we could meet for coffee every once and a while and discuss our progress and insights. I'm always look for accountability partners!
ReplyDeleteA beach trip sounds like fun! I live in central Texas and the closest beach is 3+ plus of drive away. I miss the days when I used to live in San Francisco. Have fun! :)

ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME...My friend and I did our Love Dare study through our blogs a while back...I have all the pages scanned in if you would like copies of them to share or if you would like to do it together through our blogs (but I'm totally fine if you don't want to do that). I was just excited when I read your post!! :-D

Wow, I can't wait to do this with David! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend got me the Love Dare book for Christmas 2 years ago. I have never done it, maybe because I'm not married?! LOL I think it sounds like a great idea though! :-)
