Day 29 - Love's Motivation
Ephesians6:7 (HCSB) "Render service with a good attitude, as to the LORD and not to men."
Today's dare: Before you see your spouse again today, pray for them by name & for their needs. Whether it comes easy for you or not, say "I Love You." then express love to them in some tangible way. Go to GOD in prayer again, thanking HIM for giving you the privilege of loving this one special person -- unconditionally, the way HE loves both of you.
Day 30 - Love Brings Unity
John 17:11 "Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are."
Today's dare: Isolate one area of division in your marriage, and look on today as a fresh opportunity to pray about it. Ask the LORD to reveal anything in your own heart that is threatening oneness with your spouse. Pray that HE would do the same for them. And if appropriate, discuss this matter openly, seeking GOD for unity.
Day 31 - Love and Marriage
Genesis 2:24 "A man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh."
Today's dare: Is there a "leaving" issue that you haven't been brave enough to conquer yet? Confess it to your spouse today, and resolve to make it right. The oneness of your marriage is dependant upon it. Follow this matter with a commitment to your spouse and to GOD to make your marriage the top priority over ever other human relationship.

Awww, I put Love Dare down after Day 10 and never picked it up again. You've inspired me to pick it up and do it today! :)

I admit I have been lax in reading to the next day's dare, thus is why the updates have had more time in between. However, I had been focusing on and practicing the dare's of days past that I had done and read. So "technically" I guess you could say I was sill in the process of it.
