I know a few of you are following along with the Love Dare, and I really hope you are sticking with it. Here are the next few days of dares:
Day 5: Ask your spouse to tell you three things that cause him or her to be uncomfortable or irritated with you. You must do so without attacking them or justifying your behavior. This is from their perspective only. (fun, huh?!)
Day 6: For today’s Dare, get two sheets of paper. On the first, spend a few minutes writing out positive things about your spouse. Then do the same with negative things on the second sheet. Place both sheets in a secret place for another day. There is a different purpose and plan for each. At some point on the remainder of the day, pick a positive attribute from the first list and thank your spouse for having this characteristic.
Day 7: Determine to become your spouse’s biggest fan and 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 (that’s harsh! I’m sure a shredder would do just fine). Then share with your spouse how glad you are about a success or or she recently enjoyed.
