Dare to Love

Vanessa and I decided that we should read The Love Dare. And yes, I understand that the book is meant for one person, but don't be judging me on how I read.

First thing I have to say about it is that it is a fantastic book. I've read "please help my marriage because I'm about to jump off a bridge and so is my spouse" books before and most, if not all, of them say the same thing. They say, "Care about your spouse. Love her. Serve her." This book is different. It actually gives you assignments to make the lessons you're learning practical in your marriage. Example time: We just finished the third day and it specifically stated that when you invest in something (whether it be stock or someone's happiness), you naturally care about it/them more. So, our assignment was to buy something thoughtful for each other not only to show each other our love, but also to instill in our minds a sense of thoughtfulness.

See what I'm saying? What other marriage book have you read that told you in no uncertain terms to go buy your wife a present? That's what I thought.

Anyway, judges say three thumbs up for the book and I give it 19 stars (out of a possible 5). Take the time and read it for yourself, but don't read it unless you plan to act on what you read.

I can say with all sincerity that in the 4 days since we started, I've seen changes in how I treat my wife. By the way, I'm not saying this is a cure-all, and it definitely does not take the place of the Bible, but as a supplement it will do just fine.
