Love Dare

Tomorrow we embark on our 40 day journey called the Love Dare. This comes at a perfect time for me in my marriage because I really feel I have been putting serving my husband on the back burner. I know that I am not making him as important as I need to in my life. It seems that is the midst of making meals, cleaning up constant messes, wiping bums, picking up dog poop and running errands I have let my husbands needs (whatever they may be...haha) last on my list of priorities. I can't even say this is something he has noticed, but I have felt my lack of servanthood towards him.

I'm excited for all of us who have decided to make an effort to do something for our husbands over these next 40 days. I'll confess I don't know exactly what I'm getting into, but I'm so thrilled to make this commitment. Recently a couple my husband and I know and love have decided to get a divorce. After giving all the biblical advice and resources we could offer and sending up constant prayers one of the two of them has decided enough is enough and they don't want to try anymore. This challenge is encouraging for me because I am overjoyed to see so many women who have decided to work at their marriage. We are all in different places in our walks with the Lord and our marriages so my deepest prayer for this is that God would meet each one of us where we are and give us the strength and energy to complete a simple 40 days for the sake of our marriages. May we all take captive our thoughts, be in the word daily and savor the opportunity to act out love to our husbands.
