So, some of you were interested in this, so I thought I'd make a new thread. For those who are interested, how about beginning in February? I need to get the book, and I'm thinking it is on sale at Lifeway. I can't remember who (sorry ), but whoever has done it before can post the next days dare for those who can't get the book. Sound OK?
It was me =)....and Feb sounds great! I can post 1 or 2 days in advance...whatever works for everyone that needs it.
Tiffany, The Love Dare is a book that leads couples in a 40 day commitment to strengthen their marriages. If you buy the book... each day gives one aspect of a great marriage and a "dare" for you to complete that day. For example... the first day is on patience, and the dare is to go one day without saying anything at all negative to your spouse. The book comes with a journal to record your journey. Here's an except from the book about the actual process: This forty day journey cannot be taken lightly. It is a challenging and often difficult process, but an incredibly fulfilling one. To take this dare requires a resolute mind and a steadfast determination. It is not meant to be sampled or briefly tested, and those who quit early will forfeit the greatest benefits. If you will commit to a day at a time for forty days, the results could change your life, and your marriage.
Tiffany....just you or both, I'm sure the benefit is the same either way. Chris....I have the book & will gladly post each day's assignment, at least 1 day in advance.
For those of you who aren't purchasing the book, you could get a journal at a dollar store to record your thoughts.
Those who want to buy the book, the paperback is on sale for $9.99 at Lifeway. It's $9.47 (or cheaper) at Amazon.
I do, too. I think you'll get more out of it. Do you think it will break copyright laws to post the daily dares on here?
How about not wording it exactly like it says in the book? The book might say: Leave your husband a note that isn't romantic You write: Use pen to paper and say something nice about your partner Or even maybe mix up the days so it isn't exactly in order like in the book and title the thread Love Exercises or Marriage recovery , not The Love Dare? FYI...I got the book at the library so maybe try that too if you don't have the money now for the book.
We'd still be using someone else's ideas. But, Crystal posted a link to a free version on KLOVE, so instead of posting the dare.... those who can't buy the book, go to KLOVE's archives and look up that day's dare. That way we aren't stealing ideas from anyone. I know there will be mixed feelings on copyright issues, but we want to do this honestly! I still think you will benefit from having the book, if you can do it!
Sigh.... I REALLY didn't want to buy the book! Partly because I don't have the cash to get it, and I didn't want to put it a card because then Carl will ask what it was for. And I want to keep this secret, kwim? But I went to that site and read it. It would be SO HARD to do it without the book, so I guess I'll just bite the bullet and get it. And if he asks, I'll just tell him it's for a study I'm doing or something. Or maybe I'll pray he won't ask....
I'm not going to tell my dh I'm doing it either. I want this to be a great effort on my part to be the wife I should be. I'm excited to see what happens!
