• Sunday, January 4, 2009 - The Love Dare Challenge!
After The 12 Days of Christmas... SHMILY Style, I was wondering what I could do to "hold on to" the fun times Mike and I were having with each other. Well, I had someone send me info on the LOVE DARE that was going on at Family Life and I HAD to "hop on board"! I saw the movie, FIREPROOF, and it really had a great message... and as far as the "Love Dare book" idea... well, I think that anyone married should take a look... but especially anyone struggling with their spouse or wanting a divorce. What a great thing to HAVE to do BEFORE a divorce... I wonder if people would still get divorced or not... hmmmmm... Anyway, they showed some of the LOVE DARES in the movie, but not all of them, so I'm excited to see what all of them will be! I took the following from their website:
Starting this month, FamilyLife® is challenging couples to "love like you mean it" by joining our 40-day Love Dare challenge. Based on the Love Dare book from the movie Fireproof, the challenge is a practical way for you to practice unconditional love and transform your marriage by applying simple, biblical principles to your everyday life.
Every day from January 5th to February 13th, we’ll give you a Love Dare for the day for you to put into practice and show love to your spouse. Then, at the end of the challenge, we encourage you to celebrate your spouse with a special Valentine’s Day date.
You can receive your daily Love Dare one of three ways:
Visit this website each afternoon to see your daily Love Dare.
Register to receive your daily Love Dare via email each morning.
Tune in each day to FamilyLife Today™ to hear your Love Dare for the day.
It's not too late to join in!... I will also be posting the love dares on my blog... (although I won't make any promises as to how timely I'll be with that... just know that they will eventually all be on here for you to see). It doesn't matter when you start... start at any point... but just start! I'll be doing mine a week later than their sent through email so I have some time to process and journal a little about it here...
Even if your marriage is great (which at the current moment, mine is... tee hee) you still can "fireproof" it!
I started the Love Dare On Christmas and have enjoyed most of the challenges. It is good to take it seriously.
My husband has benn enjoying the benefits of my daily homework assignments. I Hate homework,but I Love Jesus. I will do anything for Him even homework.
Enjoy your marriage I Dare You!
Thank you for the link. I will be doing that as well.
With a new baby and my wonderful Super Man now going to college online. I felt I should do the 30 week challenge as well. On the clean heart site do you no longer have the link for the 30 week challenge where you can talk to others also doing it? I will be incoprating the 40 day love dare in the 30 wk challenge.
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striving to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have children), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
