Day 8 of "40 Day Love Dare"

Carla1019 · October 2011

Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire. —Song of Solomon 8:6 NIV TODAY’S DARE Determine to become your spouse’s biggest fan and to reject any thoughts of jealousy. To help you set your heart on your spouse and focus on their achievements, take yesterday’s list of negative attributes and discreetly burn it. Then share with your spouse how glad you are about a success he or she recently enjoyed.

I love this!!!!
My FI list of negatives was very short but it felt great to take that list and shred it.

I'm starting this on Monday and I cant wait excited to see how close it brings us!

I was happy that the list of positives definitely outweighed the negatives. I was like do I literally have to "burn" it? LOL I'll just shred mine too.

Carla1019 · October 2011

I highly recommend it. I didn't tell FI that I'm doing it so he keeps asking "what has gotten into you?" But he is all smiles.

I can't wait until I reach day 40. We are doing great and it is only day 8.

Yes it was so nice to see that the positive out weighed the negative. I though this is why I truly love this man.

MrsBoss2012 · October 2011

Yes its so funny because on the day when I had to ask 3 things that irritate him or something he was like "what? where is this coming from?" And then the random compliments and buying things. So clueless!

I can't wait to start.

I was going to start it, but I decided to wait until he moves here next month. Yayyyyyy for that! 29 days! WoooHOOOOO!!! (Okay, sorry. As you can see, I'm excited about that. Long distance relationships can pretty much suck).

We're definitely going to do it, though.

On second thought, I think I might want to do this with my sister friends instead, so we can bond over hubby/fiance talk. But I think I still want to wait until he gets here. Ugh. I don't know....

If you want to start this next month or any of the other ladies do I will do it with you. I started it but FI was in Houston all last week for a funeral so it just wasn't working. I really want to do this so and agree it would be fun to do it with my sister friends. I can wait the 29 days with you. Let me know.

Carla1019 · October 2011

I would suggest doing this if your FI is home with you, or in driving distance. Some of the dares (such as prepare a special dinner) is hard to do if he is out of town.

Yayyyyy DJ!!! Thank you! I'm so excited to be doing it with you. I was going to e-mail the 2 sisterfriends I had in mind, but I know if I tell them today, they won't wait for me. LOL!

He'll be moving here on November 11th and I can start THAT DAY, if you want! (That's a Friday. We can start on that Monday if you want. Totally up to you).

Anybody else want to join us?

Ksk2012 · October 2011

TeamUS and Cat sure I will start with you. I think when you all first started I was too busy that week and missed a lot of posts.... let me know how and when..
