1 - Love is patient
The first part of this dare is fairly simple. Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart. For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything. It’s better to hold your tongue than to say something you’ll regret

We had a fight.. My bf is not a christian.. he is a muslim..Every man that is close to me, talk to me or any, he thinks that there is something between us.. its really hard..
Me and my boyfriend have been on and off for 3 years i love him with all my heart and soul. He was married for 18 years and his wife cheated on him they got divorced and now he mentally damaged and i get the end of it.
Day 1 . i have made mistakes in my marriage. have not held sacred my trust with my wife. i need to make amends and im struggling. I get scared and express my feads in very unhealthy manners I need my brother Jesus to help me save my marriage.
Day 1 and watching her pick up our daughter to leave is saddening,its been 8&1/2 months seperation,struggling with patience so all i can do is pray,but the emotional is exhausting when waiting for trust.
Today is my day one. i have been with my bf for 5 years within that time we have had ups and downs. I dont feel like he loves me anymore there is lack of respect , no trust basically no love
husband left me. have had many problems the whole time; alcohol, debt, controlling and callousness, job insecurity, and much more. I've spent time wondering what God wants from me. Decided to not give up. im working to be a better wife and christian
This is such a valuable exercise, I really want to encourage everyone to keep going. I have done it a few times in the past and by day 20 our marriage is transformed. Having the app is so useful for sharing this with others, thank you!
i need some help so me ans my husband have been togtherger for 5 years and i am prengeant with our first and i feel like im failing ecerythjng in like and i lkvr him and our baby it just scarse me becuse ichave beeb in a bad realasoin ship befkr
this is day one for me me and my boyfriend have had many ups and downs since weve been together ive been trying to make it work but because of my past relationships im what some might say mentally damaged but im wanting this to work out with us
my best friend id the ove of my life. hes changing on me. his mom is helping me to be stromger and him to see what hes bmessed with
i am on day one. i messed up and said i didnt love her anymore. she said she lost all love she had for me then and i have to move out.
This very hard I'm doing everything I can to save my marriage but my husband's parents keep tryi g to push me out of the picture and I get so angry.
i have watched this movie several times but now i watch as a newly married women and i want to make my marriage as strong and fireproof as posible espesilly since he has a demanding job
im just starting this after watching the movie while my spouse was sleeping they give there all and i reliesed im a complete ahole to them so here goes to doing better not just for my marriege but for my self
My wife wants a divorce and is done with our marrige cause i keep accusing of her of hiding stuff from. Also she told her mom shes upset because I keep accusing her and keep bring up the cheating part.
This is my day one, but had a chance to watch fireproof with my dear one. along with prayers theough jesus christ. we both hope foe the best in the end
the hardest part is not letting frustration build and say something hurtful when being accused of things i didnt do
Today is day one and I'm praying that this love dare challenge along with the movie Fireproof will help us overcome what we are dealing with
not saying hurtful things is a day to day kind of thing for me. i have noticed that my hurtful words come out as a response to his word choice. remembering that I cannot control his words, but that i can control mine is difficult most days.
my husband cheated on me for a few years and they have a two year old baby. I'm in the process of forgiving coz I have not fully forgiven him. I pray things go back to the way they were before all of this.
In anger I have said so many hurtfull things, so much so that she has left me, but she says she still loves me,but I have this insane anxiety and feeling that she will not come back.
A very good friend of mine introduced me here, its day one and i love it. i hope to follow to the end and watch the transformation
My mouth causes me A LOT of problems in our marriage. I don't mean that its my words but more of my facial expressions. A lot of the time I don't know how to communicate and that causes problems in itself.
2nd try- stopped@day 18 before. Sex is constant fight every 4 months. Admit I could be more well-rounded. But would like sex with wife more than 1x/mo. Hope to reach a pt when sex doesnt have such a grip on me. Maybe will become indifferent
I am begining this again. Things have been difficult in many ways. Lord be with me today, help me to be patient, to hold my words if they are harsh. If I must speak, let it be your words of and not the words of my pain.
my wife sexted several men the other day i we had been fighting for a while and i had been nagging i work 2 jobs and i just wanted her to do laundry and make sure house was tidy when i came home since i make dinner as well
Today is Day 1 for me. I love the movie, and a couple of weeks ago, my husband said he want things to change, and that means a divorce. Today after watching the movie, I figured I'd give the Love Dare a wholehearted try.
Patient. Like not saying negative things seems even harder when I am not allowed to give my opinion on things thats about myself
the only way to be patient today was to wait for a text. a quick hello this morning and now its 6pm. the no contact rule is painful.
My wife is amazing and i love her in every way. But we are in a bad way through lack of communication and family issues, on both sides but obviously I take responsibility for my side. I'm up for the dare.
im doing this for the first time, whatched Fireproof... jusy trying to figure out how to do this when we live in separate houses for the past 4 month's
Today is day one of this challenge for me. Over the last 2 years my husband and I have been through a lot. We've physically been seperated and lived in seperate houses twice. I'm hoping that taking this leap of faith truly helps our relationship.
this is day one for me and dont want to lose everything because im stupid
i am just starting this today i hope and pray it brings a more beautiful relationship.
I just want to say this is my 2nd time doing this. Been 2 years and its been wonderful. i think i want to start helping other.
I came from a dysfubctional family. I realise that i need help....i want to implement these principles in ecery rwlationship i have in my home.....im the one thar puts people down amd criticises rhem....i need to change
Well today starts day one. earlier this week my husband told me he was done. He talked about things that happened 8 years ago that he feels i didnt handle well and still holding onto that resentment.
trying to keep attitude and temper in check trying to save thjs relationship
i get angry and frustrated at my husband when i wish he did more for me i wish he cared more showed more affection and effort but i always feel like no matter what i do and say i am always the one who puts the most effort in.
My husband got upset about what I wore. I admitted it wasn’t appropriate and apologized, but he kept bringing it up. Frustrated, I told him that was enough and left the room to prevent the argument from escalating.
the morning hasn't started out great. he got mad at me for buying whole bean coffee instead of ground so I told him to stop being a jerk. we'll see how the rest of the day goes
I’ve made many mistakes in my life and ended up sinking because of them. But I truly want a transformed life that reflects Christ. Is it still possible to start over?
i have just started the challenge, its been rough year but overroll 4 years of mostly sad and hurtful moments and we almost seperated, although greatful that he still wants to try the silent cold on and off isnt easy
Today my first day. Its been ruff. I caught my wife with other man last in drive way. I said nothing and held it back. crazy thing is i still love my wife and i going try this and finsh it in hope of saving my marrige
I made mistakes in my life....and i do regret them, im trying my utmost best to be a better person. Unfortunately my partner cinstantly remind me about my mistakes, althought i dont forget them. BROKEN
Almost 12 yrs together. he said his mind is checked out of the relationship , but his heart doesnt want to just give up. does this mean there is still some hope? or is it that he dont want to disrupt the kids lives?
i am of tired of doing so the giving and being walked all over.
today was day 7 he is gone. i felt so lost. But I am holding strong to Gods promise. i am going to complete this dare. And we will overcome. God has this because with him all things are possible
love is hard to show when we are angry but I've come to find out the love is not a feeling or an emotion but it's a decision so I choose today to love my husband regardless and what kind of attitude he might have towards my son
. ONLY SELFISH LOVE OF OUR OWN LRIDE AND EGO from our past and the pain we have endured or fear meeting again STOPS US. from truly finding The way to LOVE OURSELVES AND OTHERS AS THE LORD LOVES US & INTENDED FOR US TO LOVE EACH OTHER THE SAME
love will never be possible and the lies we wrap up the hate we give that is called love will just keep on keeping on. hate not hate begot hate folks..WE NEVER LEARN LOVE UNTIL what's been told is made FULL in the fulfillment of THE WORD ITSELF
HUMILITY involves letting go of our old beliefs and practices. THIS IS WHAT is meant by " dying for the Lord" this in time gaining life eternal..
our relationahip
Married 17years. My husband is very negative. Addicted to porn. I'm at breaking point. He doesn't kiss or hold me. He doesn't care about hygiene. I'm not good enough so lonely. I try to stay positive I can't anymore. Not faithful anymore.
My husband of 16 years is looking at a place tomorrow. I lied 8 years ago, stupidly thinking it would save our marriage. Now he is leaving and we will eventually divorce. I have been a terrible wife and this is all my fault but, I am devastated.
This is my Day 1. I've been feeling disconnected for a while from my husband. I've also been struggling with mental health issues of which he doesn't understand the full extent. I feel like I'm failing as a wife
This is my day 1... It is a difficult one because my husband lied about his whereabouts last night and he is currently working in another town.Jesus has never let me down and I know He is the only one able to save this marriage.
15 and a half years of marriage, we are a blended family and our 24 year old just moved out. I feel a world away from my husband.
I have decided that since my hubby and I are feeling worlds apart i need some help getting us back on track and with a spark again. i came across this app and going to give it a try.
I started this over a month ago...restarting as i have resentment towards my husband. He has physical pain and is on pain meds and drinks which is not okay but he continues to justify. This has been a struggle our entiee marriage of 32 years.
Neurodivergent relationship of 21 years here.... not sure how much longer I can take. Decided to give this a shot.
hi all would this help me to have a closer relationship with my wife and love her the way that she needs to be loved
Day 1-No communication today Thursday, May 2, 2024. Marriage counseling yesterday Wednesday, May 1st 2024, so much anger toward HUSBAND and MARRIAGE THERAPIST. accused me having affair while at mom's funeral.
she left our daughter at my mom for a second night of the 5 she gets her. letting my mind worder what she will be doing in her free time.
been going thru a ball of emotions made a mistake by not listening to her needs and then said some things on purpose i knew would upset her now shes so distant
we broke up almost a month ago after 5 yrs. i have been turning to God and i see tiny improvements but nothing to really get excited about yet
i wish i started this before my divorce was final. but i am hopeful that with GOD'S help we can fix what was broken.
Starting this tomorrow.
My husband and I had an argument Thursday Apr 11. he had to leave out. He turned Life 360 off. just a few short texts since he left. I asked 2 days ago if we are okay. Him "I don’t know. We will talk when I do get home"
starting this tomorrow, trusting in God
i lied about money to keep him from getting mad. racked up lots of debt to pay bills so he could buy stuff thinking we had money and would be happy. we have been married 28 years
My partner gave up on us.
Prayers needed as i often miscommunicte or dont communicate at all. it has caused my wife to resent me.
really looking forward to starting this tomorrow
He wants a divorce. I don't. Tonight he sent me an email with his "negotiations". I simply replied that since I haven't agreed to the divorce, I didn't think it was wise to respond to any negotiations. That upset him.

I caught my boyfriend sexting today and I had a guy feeling it was going on- he swears he loves me and didn't mean anything by it but that he was bored and that I have been ignoring him
Currently working on our marriage by God's grace. My husband cheated on me with his workmate and we have no one else to run to but God.
I really need prayers. I have said so much to my wife for the past 3 years we have been together. She says she is so broken and yesterday she told me she wants separation. Today is my first day of the dare.
trying to be patient I know he is talking to others again, asked him about it he denied it. im trying to be understanding and not loose my temper. pray for my family please we need it
and what if I'm really the narcissist... will this be able to save my marriage?
I don't need any comments. Any time negative energy comes up I will refrain from it toward anyone. And I would encourage others to do the same. think before saying and own if you said something you shouldn't.
I think the hard part of this challenge is not saying anything when their decisions effects others around in a negative way. My husband has a structured routine life where he needs things to be organised and quiet to keep him happy.
15 years married and my wife is done. We sleep in different bedrooms and last night she said she was done for real this time after multiple threats in the past.
I've been struggling being patient in my relationship can I struggle with believing that my boyfriend does love me and I am worthy of love.
i have a really bad issue with gettong hot headed (which I have gotten much better at) but I also have a issue with using very judgemental.words and filthy language towards other people...
I told Britt which is gf who is currently in jail for a year I couldn't do this anymore but I lied I love her she doesn't realize how hard it is not having her here with me or the crap I'm having to deal with it
not able to do this everyday. after me saying to her during the argument stupid f_cking b_tch she told me to leave. she is done.we have been together for almost 5 years i love this woman more than anything.i don't want to lose her!
My husband has used porn and dating sites. it has broken my heart and spirit. even had a woman send the police to our house for a welfare check when he changed his number. i dont know how to rebuild trust.
He was served court papers over a loan we both decided to get only get in his name. Words unraveled. we have been married almost 3 years. I'm doing the love dare today because i want to be the hooe and change i want to see in the world!
I'm afraid it's too late. We've been married less than a month but the hurt and anger has been building for way longer. I've been on this same dare for over a week now.
today was better did not say anything bad to him...we spent the evening watching tv with our dog on the couch...no fighting
I wanted to tell him how unhappy I have been but l don't think we are in a place where that would be beneficial ot yet. I don't think we are ready to have a conversation without a fight.
Yesterday was better i got frustrated and angry with some of the things he said and didn't do but I did not say anything.
Today was bad. I hurt him in the past so his Anger is understandable. I just hope he and God will forgive me.
This didnt go so well. My wife, who moved out said she wants me to stop pushing her. Thats after I tried to show concern as she is going for an operation. I said im sorry, pse forgive me, and didnt defend myself. Thats day 1 then. Praise God!
Been married since 2014 and here to help my marriage become better by reshaping it all to help it to be better. I'm hoping to have a positive marriage where Jesus can be part with working in our marriage.
Used money from our shared bond to help cover our expenses, without telling my wife. I'll start the love dare, even if remotely.
Starting this today. 20 years married..but we live like roommates. I feel I am critical and expect too much and am always dissappointed. I feel unloved, unimportant and taken for granted. We get mean when we argue.
Well I allowed my gas on E get the best of me before the sun came up..So Thank God I can start over. I've done it a few times as well so Why did i get upset. it's crazy right! This wil not help us grow closer. That's My Heart Desire.
I'm just a 33 year old contractor who's losing everything he has because I couldn't let go and forgive 3 years ago she's gone and I want her back I want my wife my best friend back so I'm going to give this the best I got
I am a combat veteran suffering from PTSD and she felt since I lost my job and was told I couldn't work again because of my mental health that she is fine being a care giver to me
I received a punch to the gut the other day when she told me that she no longer loves me, we are christians and divorce is not in our beliefs or vocabulary at all, I am lost.
Ive been away for training. I was able to go home this past weekend . We were very distant over the weekend because of me not being communicative. I just want her to feel appreciated and loved. I dont know how to do this full time.
I think I'm having trouble connecting with my wife. I'm not a good listener and at times comes up as disrespectful and rude
I need help with reconnecting with my wife and learn to showing emotions and be more affectionate. I want to show her how much I love her everyday. I lost my way do to multiple surgery and she has suffered from because of it.
I am not married yet, I'm just looking for ways to put God in the middle of my relationship early on. I'm trying to build a good foundation. I'm open to any suggestions.
I am in love with a man tat cheats on me all the time. I know he does and people have confirmed it. He also talks very disrespectful of me behind my back. I'm going to do this love dare with faith and I pray that it will make a difference.
My husband doesn't think our marriage needs work nor does he see how much I'm struggling but I'm hoping that if I do these acts towards him, he'll see that we need improvement
I will restart this. this time knowing Christ Loves is within me
pary for my marigge we need moore love between us we need Jeesus to heel us and my marigge pray that my husbend will be free in Jeeus name of beer I will sart tomorrow pray that jeesus will give me the power i need thank you
I haven't been able to show my appreciation to my wife and I have done very bad things to her. Now I wanted to make things right eventhough it is already too late. Her trust on me had already been broken. I hope that I can fix this
I decided to start this because love is selfless, I just pray I can be that selfless
Please pray for my marriage. My wife fell in love with someone else. Please pray that this demonic spirit pulling her away from me, will be breaked in Jesus Name!!!
starting this. anyone who sees this please pray. I have screwed up so many way and so many times
been married five years to an amazing woman whom i love deeply and dearly however our marriageis failing so im hoping that this can help me save my marriage she says she desnt know what she wats

Today i have breaken my loves heart ao badly by my actions that I do not deserve her anymore. I have broken her heart in so many peaces that I dont think i will be able to but al back again. I am trying this dare not just but to heal her heart
I have done this once. I am attempting round 2 for the 3rd time now. I feel like I keep messing up. I am starting to believe it's because I should finally accept the facts and walk away.
And if you're right, there's no sense in arguing with somebody for them to see your way. You know you're right, God knows you're right? Say one time and leave it alone
Attempting this lovedare for a second time.... My husband is very hard and harsh towards me, breaking me down and extremely controlling, but I'm trusting God for change especially for the sake of our beautiful children!
i th0ink i have been doing this one for a long time. i wanna do my best howevwr it is so hard to me to be a good spouse, i never cheated or anything but i am so cold and uninteresed
I'm not sure what I'm doing, I do know that I love her and I want to try, but I also feel she doesn't. that maybe she is playing my feelings to keep me close. I may need some prayer, but I'll try this dare. maybe she will take the leap after I do.
i am finding my tongue can be so sharp. I do wonder if its a lack of trust in God, that He can vindicate me and therefore I dont need to argue my viewpoints, but rather trust that He will make my path straight.
starting love dear to day God help me please
I ve been with my SO for 6 months. This one has been super hard on me.
I have been married for 7 weeks now and my husband wants a divorce. One day he says he is willing to work on our marriage and the next day he says that he wants a divorce amd feels family is the problem
Starting today, almost 20 years married Last night he put a recycle bin that the cats pooped in on the dining room table where i do my bible study, so here we are! I'm tired and feeling defeated, but LOVE 🏆 WINS, right?
ive been in many failed relationships, ive met someone that makes me feel safe and whole but for some reason weve began to bicker constantly. we can no longer communicate at all and it was our strongest atribute as a couple.
My SO and I fight a lot. Our humor has taken a more pointed, harsh turn. I am starting this today to relearn how to love him with God's loved instead of my flawed version. High hopes that this will heal and strengthen our relationship.
my wife found a place to live and can move out on the 5th... she says she wants to live apart, i cant handle being away from her. today i start the love dare
Starting today. Married for 15 years. Lots of tough issues. I stopped showing love. My love became conditional to his actions.God, please help me. I don't want to get a divorce, but I'm afraid that's where we're headed.
10 years of marriage. just fighting all the time. No communication between us. we live in the same house but we dont live together. Hope this works.
Starting this dare tomorrow. We get mean when we argue.
Losing my wife and it hurts me
I had cheated on my husband I want to save my marriage we've been married for a year and we have no communication at all and all he does is he keeps bringing it up that I cheated please help
ek down die dagboek op my vrou 10 jaar getroud en sy wil skei en ek wil haar nie veloor nie ek hoop net dat my hart op die regte plek is
Starting this dare today on my husband. Married 19 years. It gets hard. Very hard. He has demons I can't compete with. My attitude towards him is reflecting this. I know God is working in our marriage. I pray He uses this tool to bring us together.
Marriage of 14 years . The biggest issue is my communication in how i talk to my wife taking out other flustratuons on her. recently talked and she verified she has pulled away. I had no negative issues today. Im up in nerves i was nauseous all day.
just need your help. i have a violent wife of whom we have stayed together for 2yrs now and we have one kid. need your advice
I'm doing this in hopes that it will change my attitude and temperament. Today, when I tried to hold my wifes hand, she pulled away.
my husband and I are newly weds, people call us the most beautiful couple in Kentucky. we got married October 1st. we have a wonderful marriage but we want to do Love Dare early in our marriage
Initiated this today after discovering that my wife has been unfaithful to me for the second time. I'm hoping this will aid me in finding the strength to forgive her and rebuild trust.
day 1 dare 1 failed. my thoughts have really been affecting me lately making me question my relationship of 16 yrs. struggling more now that ive begun praying more often. im hopeful that this will help me give my husband a better version of myself
I'm trying this because I have tried everything else and nothing has worked and I'm to the point where I just want a divorce and ready to give up.
my husband keeps pictures of naked woman in his phone. is been a issue since we started dating, i told him how this makes my self worth feel and he said he is a man and doing this is normal
🙏
last night I attended task one.On the weekend I told her that I had started vaping. Last night we had a discussion about it. She told me that she does not like it and that I must not even try to kiss her for as long as im vaping.
I have let the enemy come in and fill my mind with garbage. I've let go of my deliverance. I'm taking it back and with the help of The Love Dare and relying solely on God for support. Please pray!
started this today. i hurt and she does. she wants a divorce but willing to give this 1 last try and see how the holidays go. she has stated a few days ago she doesn't love me. but today she said she didnt know. i just hope its not too late.
just need prayer. i am starting this because for a very long time I have not been the godly husband i am called out to be..I have sat back and watched my wife try to be the leader i am called out to be..
trying to reconcile with my 2sd husband that divorced me 6 years ago feel love for him but right now, we live apart n i rarely hear from him. Just feel lonely n unloved.
I am 24 years married and have struggled most of that time to love my wife. I realized last night that I gave up on trying years ago. Love is a choice, not a feeling. I have the power to choose either to love her or to push her away.
Depression has fed its way into my heart and is effecting my family. My husband is patient and kind and works every day knowing on himself. I am here to be a better wife and mother. Thank you for your prayers. I pray for all you as well.
the house is falling apart and I need his help because I physically can't do what needs to be done and I can't afford to pay someone to do it we don't have that type of money we are already struggling
The bf (nonbeliever), My 9 yr old daughter (heavy believer w/ paternal trauma), and my bf's 8 yr old daughter (believer with maternal trauma). We don't live with my boyfriend so I have a feeling I'll be addressing each individual at a separate pace!
I have resolved to remind myself that God equips those that He has called. He has called us to stand up and fight. Be strong in the Lord and take courage my fellow pilgrims!
my wife cheated after 6nyears of marriage and im the one doing the love dare to win her back or at least show her that im willing to do whatever it takes to fix our marriage
starting tomorrow to give this marriage its best shot since i seem to be the only one invested. hope that changes for all us and for my 4 kids sakes.
Lord I don't know what to do and say it's like he doesn't understand the new growing me
at my parents house iv messed up big time my wife has not talked to me in 7 days I call no answer. I did not cheat but I painted a picture of myself in a negative light
On the couch with our sleeping baby, trying the Love Dare to save our marriage. Toxic friends tore us apart. Hoping for a miracle in these 40 days.
I'm blessed to have a good relationship with my husband but I want to see how much better we can be by doing it. This app is a short version. For the full one, watch the movie Fireproof and buy the book The Love Dare. May God bless us all!
reight
well I will just be starting tomorrow instead of today. That's how well this day went. I'm married to a functional alcoholic and i find it hard to bite my tongue when he starts ranting about something.
what do u do if ypur boyfriend is communicating with ither girl and telling u they are just fans but he calls them babe
in the morning it started a little rough I did not say anything negative to my wife she still was a little heated talked on the phone wile at work. but came home from work early get home she have calmed a little she talk and im listing to her and no
Today is day 1 of trying to repair my broken marriage. By putting God back into our marriage, I have faith we can over come this hit!
I mess everything up in my marriage I'm always the one quick to yell.this is my day 1.I'm ready to work a change in me
God can show us how to communicafe with our partners effectively.
we started it and day 3 is already showing us results..
how do you do the love dare when. your separated in different homes?
He got upset I left stuff out on the counter.I said that he was the1to leave the creamer out bcuz I put it away earlier&I got upset that he thought I was lying even tho I wasn't, a little later we both said sorry4getting mad@each other
im starting today with the love dare, hopefully it will work for my relationship. for the last 3 years me and my wife is living a living hell and cant stand eachother. only good we could talk is if we talk about our company.
I am so very ashamed of the things I say when we fight .she is the only human that can make me that mad .it's like she doesn't care about me at all but that is still no excuse for my actions I love her more than the world
My husband of 13 years has cheated on me for the last 8 months. He had 2 children when we met and we have 1 together. The trust is just not there right now. He works with the other woman and she too is married.
Sometimes when angered, I say things that I dont mean and ill regret it later on saying it. It takes patience to really bite my tongue when angered.
my husband and i are going through a trying time. there has been so much that is trying to destroy us. we both decided to try this challenge in hopes of saving our marriage and making it stronger.
I tried to be patient and listen the angrier I got till I was yelling about a situation that arose because of a prior misunderstanding tomorrow I will start again same spot and I forget people heal in there own time
So me and my fiance got back together after 5 months of being apart. And lately I've been feeling like he doesn't love me the same anymore and I hate feeling like this cause all it's doing is causing more problems when I ask him about it.
my wife isnt sure if she wants to remain married after 12 years and 4 beautiful kids. i am far from perfect and my mistake was following those seductive accounts on tiktok
Me & my boyfriend had a argument this morning. I wish his communication was better. He sometimes wakes up annoyed & can be rude no explanation. Wont ever talk about it expects me to fix us everytime. It is hard to fix with bad communication skills.
Day 1.. after a 9 year relationship i began the journey of dating . we are 3 months in and i am not sure if this is even something to do being in a relationship so new, but it is worth a shot.
my fiance says he loves me but wants me to change. I thought love ment acceptance and compassion for the other flaws. now I just feel like I'm not worth it cause I'm not how he likes... I'm so lost on what to do cause I do love him.
my husband and i going through rough patch.
my husband and i going through rough patch
My wife and i are not doing good. Wife said i cheated on her cause i looked at porn. She caught me doing it again she would say that she was leaving. Now shes mad cause i said I was done and wouldnt fight dor our marriage.
thanks God we are good to go
I recently cheated on my wife and hurt her emotionally and spirituality by letting the other person due harm to her. I want to fix things with her but she says she hurts to much to try again. She's forgiven me. How do i ask for forgiveness from god.
Any ideas on how to start day 1 when there isnt any form of communication?
After my husband abandoning me and our son for three years we and I are fighting over his past mistake as we try to reconcile.Now hw doesnt want to talk to me. what should I do
after a 20yr marriage we decided to "open" our marriage too other people. it has been disasterious before anything even happened
I've been cheating on my wife for the last 5 years. I don't know if I can break up, and start a new life. If she knows about it, she will start a divorce process but I love her in a special way...
my husband and i used drugs together and damaged our marriage . he has left and wats a divorce
I messed up bad, now I'm trying to regain the only woman I love trust and heart back
6 years we've been here. It's always been stressful espically our marriage. I'm just hoping doing this is and letting God take charge is going bring our marriage back to where it used to be.
I cheated on my husband and lied to him about it and also afterwards lied about communicating with the other party. He has now told me he does not want anything to do with me. I have prayed to God to forgive me, and to work on both.

i always find myyself having negative thoughts after my husband cheated he apologised bt i still find it hard to forgive him he is doing everything to make thimgs right i abuse him everyday i pray all this can stop
husband had an affair but wants to save the family. I was too broken so I had difficulty trusting him. Recently, I can see that he got tired in making efforts. he's too ashamed to make any moves because of what he did repeatedly
Day 1: Today is really a blessed day for me that for a very long time, I called my husband and he responded so lovingly to me, without a shout or quarrel. All I want is peace. every other thing shall be added to us by God. @Queen.

lovedare@adaptiveware.dev
my Day 1: I called my husband and he responded to me without any harsh question. he answered me without a shout, woow.. God be praise.
Hope this goes through! Through this God saved my marriage. I kept a journal you should also. Write down verse and dare. Write down what you did and if you pray write it down also. Focus on God and yourself and the love he gives you.
Day 1 was great! We are both so excited to finally get to do The Love Dare, we've been planning on doin it for a long time.
12years together. 4 years married. 2 beautiful kids. we've had it all, and we've lost it all. the past year has been the hardest. my husband cheated on me with my BEST FRIEND. left our family in December to go stay with her.
Day 1 was going good until near the end. I said something that was a little sarcastic and questioning. Are there do-overs if we mess up?
Today is my day 1 and i just pray i can keep mouth shut and not retaliate.
This is so hard. he seems to think that every time I open my mouth and ask a question or make a statement that I am judging him or attacking him and he instantly goes into defense mode and we fight. ugh when did I become the bad guy all the time?
10 years, 7 years married. every year around the same month something always happens. i am no longer in love with my husband but he says he loves me but shows nothing or does not even prove it. i want the divorce
well i screw up i luv my wife even though she tells me she not attracted to me anything
Day 1 - This is very difficult since each time we have a conversation, we get into an argument. I just pray that I can keep my mouth shut when feeling pressed.
Day 1- currently separated but have had some deep discussions and are committing to work this out. With God all thing are possible!
this is beyond hard. i want my marriage, but there is no passion in my marriage. obviously it IS love that is keeping us together but is that love between a husband and wife or love of friends and companions.
starting this again. biggest challenge is shutting up. we push each other to explosions with every argument. pray that I can shut up this time.
my wife made me relize its me causing all of are troubles. i have quit listening to her feelings and thoughts ive got a porn addiction and i have let temptation in my life way to much i want to change
my wife feel out of love with me 😪 what can I do?
my husband hates me
This is really a hard one, especially when my husband keeps trying to fight the whole time
im apart from my wife for a month and now see change in her. i didnt leave her cause i wanted too i was forced to be seperated and at times felt no hope but i love her and will try again and pray gods will over our life
giving this a go in the hope to save my marriage
I can definitely see a change in dynamic when I choose to speak kind words to my spouse.
I wish I had come across this book sooner. I pushed my husband away and fought with constantly to the point of him doing things to win my approval and satisfaction and he sits in jail because of it but I know things will change now.
even with all the positive words, my babe, that's what I call her, hasn't read any of my chats nor has she replied it for two days now.
i spent one night away from my wife and i realize that i love her and dont want to hurt her anymore.
i spent one night away from my wife and i realize that i love her and dont want to hurt her anymore
this is a tough one for me
First day I have but all destroyed the best thing that ever happened to me I hope this book helps me to love her like i should and maybe learn to love myself Been divorced 5 times I dont think i can handle another one Please pray for us
my husband and i have agreed to do this starting 2 days ago... we will see because it seems thats the only thing we can agree on lately
seperated...he keeps going with emotional abuse cycle. Hes basically said he's walked away from God the last month and he's focusing on self love. I'm commiting to let Jesus love through me whatever the outcome..
starting today. after numerous fights over big life changes and i have to admit i havent been the kindest. it was lead to alot of resentment between us. hoping this will help us instill better habits
Hello I am a beginner. My first husband was abusive and after 21 years I left him. My husband, now, and I have been together 8 years, married for 1. I have been finding myself starting to fall out of love with him. Praying
Amen
I'm starting this challenge April 11th. My fiancée and I have been together almost 7 yrs and lately its been tough. Ive even considered calling off the wedding. He has severe ptsd and seems angry at the world all the time.
Restarting this challenge from many years ago. Hopefully, I can do it remotely
This challenge is not only to safe my marriage but also Jesus to show me what is love and how to love completely. Jesus in your mighty name i give myself to you . Show me what is unconditional love ❤️
This is my first time, praying that it work's 🙏
Today I am starting this challenge AGAIN, My husband cheated on me over 20 years ago and we haven't been strong since, and that caused me to cheat a year ago. I want my marriage and I am beyond SORRY.... I NEED THIS TO WORK!!!
i told my wife who i hurt and caused so much pain that i loved her and she said thats its going to take time for her. i told her that i know its going to take time just know that im here for u. always
yes love is patient, but when u don't have patience, but u r learning slowly how to get patience it sucks cuz u r in patient trying to get patience so u can love to the fullest
I got fustrated with my husband because I need help. I don't want to always ask for help. i haven't said anything negative today. i have had to pray a lot to hold my tounge.
guess ill have to start again tomorrow bc i ask my wife why kept asking me all these questions bc i told her idk and she keeps asking and i got aggravated with her bc idk and shes just rewording the questions.
Trying this again. I love my husband but I just can't seem to get through this challenge.
18 months ago i almost died of covid. I was in a coma for 2 months. I was in the hospital for over 5 1/2 months. He has deep depression but won't do anything about it. I am starting this with God's help to try to get my man back.
me and my hubby been dealing with a lot and I been so emotional cause of it and I feel like I am pushing him away
please pray!!! I asked my boyfriend to do the challenge with me and he said he would never be able to do it. So I'm still going to do this. Hes an ex from 9 years ago. and things just ain't the same.
letting go of anger is hard. I pray God can fill my heart with love. 3rd day in a row starting at day 1. i just cant seem to be nice.
Started Day 1 yesterday as my wife and I are so busy so doing this to reconnect with her and be the husband God called me to be!
recently learned by husband cheated with a colleague for nearly 3 years... We've been together for 25 years but only married for 5... Im starting this tomorrow 24 March 2023 and pray this will help mend our broken hearts & repair our marriage.
I've started this many times and have always gotten frustrated and not followed through. Starting again today as I owe it to my wife.
I ignored her cries and pleas forbyears for me to change, quit making her feel loney and unwanted. I thought i was doing nothing wrong, and God proved me wrong. Im putting all my trust into God, hes the only one that can mend this
hopefully tomorrow is better I'm trying yet this will be the 4th time starting over. this man knows how to get my blood boiling and yet I'm letting him. maybe tomorrow will be the day!
my biggest problem is trustin the people around my wife.and then takin my anger out on her.thinkin it will fix our relationship.
I'm tired of promising to pursue her, then becoming apethetic. She's heard it all before. It's time to take action without promising her anything. She'll be shown how much I love her and not just hear about it.
Trying this again after years of struggling. Hoping God works in me and changes me through this and that my wife and children will see the evidence.
I really love the woman I am with. She is my true soul mate. I want to show her love and compassion everyday. I pray God will direct me and was the anger I speak. She really does deserve tenderness and love.
I really love the woman I am with. She is my true soul mate. I want to show her love and compassion everyday. I pray God will direct me and was the anger I speak. She really does deserve tenderness and love
Start today, widow and learning to date again.Wanting a stable ground to start fresh.Tired of ghosted behavior of next generation. 😀
Today I tried dare #1 again, because i felt i had failed it, and i passes. I'm using this in my relationship and at work with my coworkers. I did great.
I am in a new relationship with an old dating partner from 8 years ago. I was going through a divorce and he wanted to marry right away, but i needed time to process everything. This time is different we've both grown. I have boundaries now.
Love is patient, but not all the time. i get so frustrated when i cant voice my opinions or feelings w/o being judged and told they are wrong. I will continue to pray on it to see if its salvageable 🤞#day1
Me and my ex husband have been separated for 3 years divorced since November, after finding myself I'm hopeful that I'll get him back!!
I am trying this discretly with my wife. We havent had issues per se but I feel as though most days we just go through the motions. I want to be intentional with my actions and words.
I'm starting this over for the 3rd time. My wife and I have been separated for a few years. I get discouraged and have little hope.
I'm starting this over for the 3rd time. My wife and I have been separated for a few years. I get discouraged and have little hope. I've already failed today for day one.
doing this as a single person I still thi k it be edifying
I am really struggling with my husband right now I feel like he uses The Bible against me as a weapon instead of teaching me. He tells me I'm wrong for how I feel.
congratulations! stay strong!
We have no marriage. We have no foundation. But i am confident that We have a God who would have us create one through Him. We have hit rock bottom. I need to surrender my husband to Jesus to let Jesus do what only He can do.
i want to complete this dare with not only my husband but my children and colleagues. here is to hoping my heart can change for the greater good God has envisioned for us
Sometimes there are more than one "Day 1's".
day one was successful
first day doing love dare. preying it saves our marriage cuz I really do love my wife . I'm also preying for our family .
I am Hopeful this can work, watched the movie fireproof. I love my wife even Day 1 is hard all we do is fight over money and cleaning wish me luck
I repeat this at random once a year as does my Spouse.We never telk each other when we arw doing it and we only disclose when we conolete the whole program. I honestly belive this saved our marriage.
I'm doing this in a healthy marriage, my best friend who is dearly struggling with a spouse who is as close to cold as ice. She feels so unloved, I'm getting christian married couples with decades under their belt as advisors for them.
i have attempted this too many times to count in the past 2 years and dare 27 is as far as ive ever gotten ....today i completed dare 1 again ..but this time i did it without trying to just do the dare...i feel something in m changing
i did this 12 years ago and thought it would work then. Renewed our vows in 2016, things were terrible,, he lied through 18 years of being together, he cheated 13 times. Lied about smoking, lied about things that were important to me.
I have been on this day for a few days now. I didn't think it would be this hard. I love my husband and want us to be successful. I will get through this with God on my side. please pray for me and my journey. 🙏
Today is day one and I am on the journey to rebuild the trust lost in our relationship. We don't argue but silence is just as bad sometimes. I am committed to making this work because she is my future.
Finally ive been on this step for 4 days and i completed it only with God by my side not inly completed it but had a enlightening day.
Please pray. He is the love of my life but this last year has drug us so far apart. I asked him to do this journey of the 40 day challenge with me. He brought home divorce paper. With prayers and gods guidance we can make it work. Tomorrow is day 1
choose every words wisely. it sshouldnt be this hard. biting your tongue is humbling. this makes me realize the love that i have for my partner and how horrible i am at showing it minute to minute. Lord please gude my word and action today,
Been on this step for three days i cant do it alone God help me please im powerless without you.
I feel so lost its not even like were the same people anymore i dont know her its come to the point were two complete strangers is there hope?
When I did the Love Dare for the first time, it changed my behavior, attitude, & marriage. I'm starting again in the hopes of further growth in moving towards becoming a Proverbs 31 wife.
Today it was great.my spouse in my talk and actually heard each other. I feel like. Accepting that we need God back in our life's has made a huge impact already
Just getting started for the first time. praying for total and complete restoration
I've been tempted to criticize him, and have succeeded in keeping silent about half the times.... We haven't argued today and it's sunset. Praying that I'm able to get up early tomorrow to pray and keep my patience again.
my marriage seems so off these days, we feel very distant and "lost"... My husband doesnt know how to communicate at all, even when i try to talk to him about simple things he sees it as a fight and gets angry.
In my past I was always quick to anger. Through much time spent in self reflection I have came to realize that I outwardly expressed anger onto those with whom I love the most and those that cared and loved me.
we're starting over for the millionth time, hopefully we're able to keep with it this time. but we're starting because we're at a place where we are down to resentments and we're quick to anger. I hope it's not to late and he doesn't give up on me.
That is a great idea, use the Love Dare on yourself!
Well, I didnt realize that this App was for married couples, I no longer have a husband.He divorced and left.So I am just making a goal to apply these verses in a general fashion and towards my kids...We will see how it goes.
I'm starting but i think i will.be doing it on my own. my husband always says maybe later..we have been married 34 years next month. i feel.so empty inside and angry. i hope tjis helps.
i started this journey because i have found myself sometimes selfish and unwilling to truly love. mostly because of my past. please pray that i find peace and that my husband can forgive me
I'm engaged. We've started a journey together to get closer to Christ. But sometimes it's hard because she fears I'm being unfaithful to her because of our rocky pasts. pray for us and for me that I can calm her fears and not react negatively to it
my wife gets angry easily at things. someone times, the things are worthless and not something to get anyone angry but she'll just get angry. so i chose to visit here for a guid
i am starting this because i found my faince talking to other women online.
I am starting this journey because I have been pushing my fiance away for the last 3 years with anger and resentment from the beginning of the relationship. .
My husband wants to talk to me He told me he decided that he thinks I need to move out and give him time to find him self. He told me that I am the reason he can not go on and he is at a point that he wants to take his life.
I've started after discovering my wife was having an affair, which she told me about shortly before our 10 year anniversary. I thought our marriage was strong. But she's been unhappy in our relationship while not being honest about it & wants out.
I have been engaged with my fiancee for 3 years now and we are getting married this year in April. it's been a long road for the both of us. If we were not patient with each other, we would probably not be together. love and marriage go together.
I just want to make sure, whatever becomes of our marriage, that I have done everything I can to try to make it work... I don't want our marriage to dissolve but I also can not give my husband a higher authority than my Lord!
my wifes only discussions with me revolves around money. we both have kids from failed marriages and a sin we share together. i am the soul support for our family unit. recently i have noticed some foul play and i love her and am not going to give up
I have just one question, if my fiance yells at me and tries to start a fight, what am I supposed to do? Just sit there and say nothing while he is screaming at me?
Married for 12 yrs w/4 children. There was abuse early in our marriage. I have changed over the last 5 yrs to be more loving towards him, but I don't feel loved by him anymore, I'm really hoping and praying this will help. ~Love suffers and endures.
So 2days before Christmas he told me that there is nothing left inside of him for me.But also promised there is no one else in his life.But he's speaking to someone between late night hours and early morning hours and it's killing me to know.
I am saving a relationship towards a family member. Using the dare for another purpose to see if it helps
I'm starting this today to try and save our marriage. I just want my wife to feel loved, happy, safe and respected.
I starting this to save my marriage
I'm starting this journey because I feel I have been a bad spouse. I want to build myself in this marriage. through out the day, responding wisely and not giving negative comments.
I have been a high functioning alcoholic for 20 years, sober now 6 months. i have caused many hurts, and am truly remorseful for my actions. I am trying this dare as a last resort. please have mercy Lord, please hear the cry of your people. 🙏🙏🙏
I asked my husband today if he woud read the book today. He asked me what would a book do for us it knows nothing about use or our problems. All I could say back is thats the point of the book. It cant judge us but it can teach us.
have gone through the love there three times throughout the 20 years of my marriage. it's time to do another tune-up.
I've gone through The Love Dare three times throughout our marriage. and it's time to do it again. this is not a one and done solution, it's an ongoing maintenance thing. and I'm happy to do it again.
I started to remain focused on our marriage. I want to be proactive, not reactive. We just got married 3 days ago. I want everything that will help me love her more, help her feel more loved or make me a better man
im starting this journey because my husband and i have been drifting apart. Hes such a good man but his mental health is starting to get to me. I feel so unappreciated and overlooked sometimes.when i try to talk to him. its like he dismisses me.
me and my girlfriend been together going on a year now and I love her so much but I keep screwing up by talking to other girls so now there is no trust at all I no it's my fault it's there a way I can fix it cause I don't wanna lose her
My husband came home drunk last month with underwear in his pocket, I kicked him out. Two weeks later I found out he's been having affairs, one 3 years old with someone I considered my friend. Its a month now since he has been gone.
Last night I thought to myself that i am done not being good enough for my husband and we got into a big fight. I'm starting this today as I really need to start fixing my marriage.
My husband came home drunk last month with underwear in his pocket, I kicked him out. Two weeks later I found out he has been having affairs, one 3 years old with someone I considered my friend. Its a month now since he has been gone.
just gonna jump right in here....I'm recovering needle addict and a father of 4!! I kicked the drugs and got my family back but it's not any where close to the same as before I started my addiction
I am starting this journey to hopefully find a way to get past the infidelity that took place, and find out way back to the closeness we once shared.
i am starting this because we have had alot of loss and hurt in our marriage, and i can feel it slipping into contentment.
I am starting this Dare in hopes of connecting with my husband in a way that will fulfill our marriage for both of us.
I'm starting this for the 2nd time. My husband says nothing he does is right, feels like a kid & he can't give me what I need. when I cry that acting like a victim doesn't work. My heart is broken & my depression keeps getting deeper.
I'm starting this dare knowing God will soften both of our hearts and bring us together again. we gave been together for 6 years and have a 1child. she has recently kicked me out to make room for her oldest son and now has flipped the script on me.
I opened my mouth again this morning. everything I say or do has been pointed out to be manipulative and gaslighting. he doesn't feel loved. I want to change. I pushed him away. I want him happy again. us happy again.
Ive been married for 21 years , we had our up and downs , but a month ago she told me she dont love me anymore and she want us to separate, her only complain is that I didnt paid enough attention to her and didnt said lots of I love you.
we have both spoken to other people and wanted other things. we both have cheated on eachother emotionally. I want to save our marriage.
Im starting this dare today to try to save my marriage, he just told me he wants to be with me but hes not happy. We've been together almost 15 years and married for 12 with 3 children.
my wife think everything is ok we have no issues, but its like u do everything for ur partner but its never good enough some days i feel like Caleb i can help a 1000 people they will appreciate and not my wife
my wife think everything is ok we have no issues, but its like u do everything for ur partner but its never good enough some days i feel like Caleb i can help a 1000 people they will appreciate and not my wife..
i bet it lights her up to get them. dont stop now.
her getting is enough for now. i get tem from my husband and it lights my life up yet i tell himm nothing. maybe you should let.her know how you feel.
I sent my wife thank you and letting her know that I was thinking about her no response.
I can't get my wife to love me again. I read love is not a feeling it is a choice and she just is not choosing me. I am a complete failure
have attempted this multiple times. we separated and now trying one last time. Please pray for Josh and Jamie.
I am back with my husband after being together 6 yrs, separated 6 yrs and now back. we agreed we wanted our old lives back together and we just both relapsed and got clean over being separated and he's got caught lying and getting high behind my back
I am right there with all of you. I have been working on this for a long time, but 100% all in for the last 14 weeks. I am part of a men's group studying (How...Man - Pursuing Chirst). I am still struggling. I need her (wife) to show me love back.
Time to put in the work. No more excuses. I may not know how to Love but God knows. lets follow his example until blood.
I have made a terrible mistake to my husband and really broke his heart, I want to fix my marriage with him but I truly feel like I don't deserve his love or forgiveness I really am struggling to forgive myself
my wife and I are on the brink of divorce, i have done many wrongs which i whole heartedly want to mend and let her fall in love with me again.
I'm not in a relationship, but I have met a woman that I am considering getting into a relationship with. I'm in recovery and so is she,and we both agree we need to take things slow.
Wife says she loves me but she is not in love with me. She says she wants to be but she can't force to change her feelings any thoughts? I been working hard on trying to salvage marriage but she seem checked out.... 😭😭
27 years together, 2 now adult children. lots of betrayal, cheating, addiction issues from him. hes 11 months sober and I'm hoping this is a step to work on us a couple

married 8 years.. Prior to marriage i violated her trust w/ a woman, with her mouth that she has, but in every argument she brings it up that i am a cheater. her resolve during each disagreement is, LEAVE!
Married 13yrs 3 kids together. Her every actions says she doesnt want me in her life. No matter what I do it is never enough. Constanly belittles me and goes out of her way to say/do things to make me look like a POS.
I am hoping this will make me fall back in love with my husband. I love him but don't feel in love.
patient in everything❤💯
Married 12 years, together for almost 15. 2 little children. Told husband Im willing to put forth a 100% give-it-all-youve-got try to save our marriage & invited him to come alongside me. If our marriage doesnt change, Im prepared to divorce
My wife an I have been married for almost 10 years about a week ago she asked for divorce. I'm hoping this book helps. I love her and been changing my ways. Pray for us.
I love Cora Allen
husand said he didnt know if he wanted to be married anymore. i have tried this dare and failed many times. i am hoping this time it will work and the lord will restore our marriage.
I've done this dare multiple times with success but it seems like I've forgotten to continue trying. I never want to lose him, so I am doing this dare again.
my wife deserves a real man , i have done you wrong now im making everything right sorry for ever letting you down and breaking your heart , this is me and im becoming that man again , thanks to you and God
Starting over today. We've been fighting and arguing so much the last few weeks, and I have failed this dare numerous times. Im really going to try over, and get out of my old ways.
I'm praying that after almost 20 years with my husband I am enough for him and I pray that he sees that as well.
I'm repeating day 1 the attacks from Satan won because I allowed him to, I did not keep the armor of Christ on as a fool I thought I had it under control and I didn't please pray for me my wife and I have a newborn
I'm repeating day 1 the attacks from Satan won because I allowed him to, I did not keep the armor of Christ on as a fool I thought I had it under control and I didn't please pray for me my wife and I have a newborn and I can't lose my family
Does anyone have any advice on how to best deal with a spouse who constantly complains about everything in their life and everything in other people's lives too?
I need help in communicating with my partner. We are drifting apart because of lack of communication. This hurts as I am being blamed alone.
I pray that my faith in God to restore my marriage and family be answered it's my first day.
I'm seeking the Lord's rescue and guidance to intervene in our marriage .
I will pray with you. If there is anything specific you'd like me to pray for, please post it.
I am starting this journey again for the millionth time. He does not talk to me and when he does it is always something nasty. I do not know what to do anymore. He wants to leave. please pray with me
I am restarting this journey. Pray that I could finish this challenge, and I learn a lot from this and from others' experiences.
My husband of 20 yrs is being unfaithful. He says he doesnt love me and wants a divorce. we have 3 kids together. I dont know how to be on my own. I hope this will help us.
it really sucks having to start over again my wife and I have been married for 6 years I love that woman I struggle with addiction and being attracted to her all we do is fight prayers it can still work

10/05/2022 This is my first day starting this my husband and I have been together 7 years and married 2 years and we have constantly been fighting im hoping i can complete this and build a better relationship with him
I used to have the Love Dare book, and I tried this challenge numerous times, but never made it past Day 5. I am really going to try to complete it this time, even though we currently live in different countries.
10/04/2022 Today is the first day of trying to do The Love Dare. To be honest, I am nervous and scared at the same time. I am hoping that this will bring my husband and I closer together as well as help us find each other again. -AL
Ive been married 34 years. My God brought me to it, My God will bring me through it. Day 1. Epic fail on my part. ill start over again tomorrow, with Day 1.
Lately I have lost my temper for no reason. I feel that at times I try to push him away because I am insecure and don't deserve a good husband. Our jobs are increadibly stressful and the fact I'm working 12 days straight is eroding our marriage.
10/3 - Today was easier than expected. I woke up annoyed realizing that my husband didn't come to bed but instead played video games all night. I remained nice and positive. We were a little playful today laughing tonight. - GCD
10/03 - Started rough. Woke up to find my husband didn't come to bed. He stayed up all night playing videogames. I was annoyed but said nothing negative to him. We were a little playful on my breaks today. - GayDad
day 1 I originally thought he needed to see this I have not told him and this is my day 1. I ask for a lot of patients .He is more than patient with me.I am going to work on being patient with him .
day 1 I originally thought he needed to see this I have not told him and this is my day 1 I ask for a lot of patients He is more than patient with me.I am going to work on being patient with him
Day 1 gonna try this again. made it to week 3 last time. things started going good and I stopped. this time even when things are good I'm going to keep going.
Good day I'm starting today. I was just wondering do you guys do it together or just one of you?
i am trying this for probably the third time with my boyfriend. He always says that i start arguing with him out of the blue and he doesnt do anything. i have been with him 13 years off and on and sometimes dont feel like we are connected
I didn't think of this until today but started the Dare on Monday. He was supposed to meet with our counselor and cancelled. It caused a cancellation fee but I didn't say anything nor confront him.
My husband is an alcoholic, we are struggling because because he wastes money on alcohol. I am always shouting at him and it hurts my kids. I believe God will use this book to deliver us because right now I don't know where we stand.
First day he went there he send me a voice note and there was sexual sounds at the back.He said she just responded to what he said.my thing is if he is talking to me what does she have to do with our conversation.he doesn't care what I think
Im trying to learn patience in love. I always want to fix things right away after I destroy my relationship the wife is fed up. I love her dearly. It is not looking promising but imma try
my husband told me last night he is not in love w/me & needed time to think. I will do these 40 days or until he gives me an answer. I'm praying I can repair the damage I've caused.
My first day so far, my wife told me she doesn't love me anymore and doesn't want to be a family with me anymore. This will be my last attempt to save my relationship and my children's home. Please pray for us
I dealt with undiagnosed anxiety for decades. My wife helped me come to that realization. Now I will make the rest of my days making up to others and especially to her. I've taken the last 18 months becoming comfortable in this skin. .
I cheated and hurt my wife with a woman I had no business being with because I had a demon in me I suffer from PTSD from Iraq and Afghanistan I treated her like I was still army that was 10 years ago I have lied and hurt her and I wanna fix
my husband abandoned me and my daughter in June. He hasn't really tried to come back. He said there's just so much but he never told me what was wrong. He lost so many loved ones with covid and just pushed me away too after I miscarried.
I'm just starting today. My husband has been cheating thru our whole relationship and marriage. I'm hopeful that God touches us and fixes our marriage.
wow i did it, day one was complete brought my wife lunch at work. i love my wife. praying for better communication and deaper love. we dont even sleep together anymore all we do is fight over finances sigh
Well LoveDareFam.. This might be my 8th time starting over, but I did Make it to the 5th day. I'll get it. GN. My Fiance said he have to stop being so mean to me, because I don't deserve it. That only made me want to love him more 🙂 Day 1 😁RedDove
I'm trying this to save my marriage and my family I wasn't the best to my wife and I want her back when I was ready to give up on fighting for my marriage
we started doing this as a family project...I believe Fireproof is about love not just romantic love and if we can carry this out to our children as well as our significant other then it's an amazing journey
loving another human can be difficult, just know that God knows where you are meant to be and will lead you to peace and glory
Had to start over. I lost it when he continue to repeat how I was a failure to my children and i took a week to calm down. Ok. Day 1. 'Red Dove'
i have started this several times I even bought the book twice but i never make it past day 3 I do hope to complete it this time.
my first day doing this
my first days with this, hoping it helps my marriage. we've been married 31 years, I'm going through menopause and seem to take my frustration out on my husband. that needs to stop.
my first day doing this. I'm looking forward to the other 39 days. i have to do this. my wife means the world to me.
It was my first day applying the love dare app.
We've been married for 3 months now and we hope this love dare will continue to to strengthen our marriage even in days ahead.
Day 1 Hoping and praying that our Heavenly FATHER can instill within my fiance his Love and he's willing to give me God's love..
Day 1 Hoping and praying that our Heavenly FATHER instill within my fiance his Love and he's willing to give me that God's love..
i love my with all my heart. i have done the love dare. but i seem ti still push her away.
hiw can this work if they block you from everything
so i love the base off this i never fully went threw with this not married but my ex/ gf were talking still wanna try this if not maybe u can better my self
My 1st day! I know we're in our sin and this may not work. I do love him and I need the love of God to flow through my fiancé. So I pray this work, but most of all I pray your will be done my Lord. please pray for us.
i love him so much, when he withholds love and affection, treats me like a roommate, and not a partner, that hurts more than i can describe. how do you tell someone they are hurting you?
I am trying this love dare away from my boyfriend. We are not talking right now. i worte him a letter asking him to do the love dare with me. he said that he has done everything but there is no spark there anymore. but there are feeling.
My husband has walked away from God. We need a miracle.
it also great to avoid negative thoughts about your spouse
Day one completed and it's been very hard. My boyfriend is withholding affection and only speaks to me when needed. I dont know what to do because the things he does makes me hurt and want to cry but he doesnt care.
I am on day one, what if the other person is not responsive that means there is no chance to say anything negative
day one dor me is done, amazing!never felt peace for a long time
Praying for all of you who feel the same fear, sadness and pain I do. The last two years have taken us from "next level happy" to barely hanging on. We can heal ourselves and our marriages. 💪💜
this is my first time doing the love dare. i am mainly doing it for myself because my sons dad doesnt want a relationship with me nor does it seem like he likes me anymore. i am trying to find my peace with it and move on
I just downloaded the app.. we have been married for 28 years. the last 4 years have been rough so I'm hoping this will help bring us back close like we used to be.
we had a big argument last night, so my texts went ignored today. I expect that. I'm still going through with this.
Is there any sucessful stories where the woman has done the love dare on the man?
this is my first time trying the love dare. i need prayers for God to help me. i am on a difficult journey with my sons father.
3rd time I've tried the Love Dare. I don't know if it will help, but I'm going to complete it this time.
been married 20+ years when does the easy part come? marriage feels more like a domestic partnership- keep the day to day running. clean, cook, take care of kids, work, repeat. tried talking, doesn't seem to care. just tired.

I can't even imagine how horrible and scared you must be feeling right now. Although it is scary, It might be a good Idea to give him a little bit of space to reflect on the past 28 years.
How do I put Trust back in myself towards my Husband
My girlfriend left me after a year of dealing with my anger problems, I believe God brought her into my life and Satan has taken her away from me. please pray that God will restore my relationship by destroying the unhealthy anger in my life
My husband and I have been married 28 years this past April. I have done something so utterly stupid that I have broken his trust. He says he needs to clear his head and have some space. I am so afraid of losing him.
day one went amazing!!! on 2 day 2 wish me luck
Today is day 1 for me. My marriage is struggling right now because I lied to my wife about attending a work event and instead hung out with a friend. I am hoping this book will help me to restore my relationship with God and my marriage.

i wish i know how to get my newly saved husband more interested in reading the Bible and praying. Any advice? TIA
Day 1. I feel I am patient for most things but as it stated about the car keys thing, oh boy would I have given what seemed to be a lecture. I see the vision of being the support of how to solve the problem.
marry 25 years but things not same we do our own lives and really don't tell each other where we going.
i feel like a caged bird, who has had its wings clipped. ive been basically numb all day. he told me last nite he didnt care if i live or die. ive done a bad job of disrespecting him for last year - and publicly!
I was emotionally unfaithful 2 years ago, I recently told my husband about this. I was in a dark place 2 years ago, we lived in seperate rooms and there was no effection. I love my family. How do i fix thie?
I SAY Proverbs 1:33 . MY HUSBAND SAYS LOVE PATIENT. IT HAS TO BE
I SAY Morning and Evening Daily Devotional by C.H. Spurgeon July, 6 (Morning) Devotion “Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33 . MY HUSBAND SAYS LOVE PATIENT. IT HAS TO BE
pray that my love for Jesus grows stronger every day
My wife and I are having our issues and they've gotten so bad she's removed her ring till she believes that were good. please pray for us. we've only been married for 10 months.
I was cheated on in my relationship and wanted to try this 40 day devotional before calling it quits... but this first one has been tough for me, I guess because of the hurt that infedelity brings with it. alot of times I had to bite my tongue.
day 1: and it was the hardest, feel so alone and isolated and like I'm going crazy. my husband's ways are rubbing off on our kids and it's making marriage and child raising equally hard. praying my husband changes.
I believe from life experience that patient and kindness are the two pillars upon which love is built
I am not married as of yet. the man I am with is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I am doing this challenge not only for myself I am doing it for our future marriage. change starts with me.
Im starting the love dare because my marriage is slowly dying. Im willing to try anything to fix it.
❤️
I'm done
I have been married for 21 years. I have done some awful things to him and he still stand by my side I want to give him the love he deserves
i was with a guy for 35 years of my life off and on and he passed away April 8th 2020 trying to find myself
i was divorce me on Fathers Day. She has had hard feeling, love, for another guy, whom is married. My mind, its over she has moved on and doesn't want to be with me. My heart, challenge accepted.Please Pray for me
Well slipped a little this morning and got a little snappy.... I did apologize immediately. Maybe I should just not say anything until after my second cup of coffee
I know I am not perfect and I have been hurt and scarred from my past, but my wife had hurts and scarrs that outnumber mine and I'm afraid that her fears are consuming her.
Day 1. I'm always trying, this is my last resort. I love him so much but is it worth fighting if ur not loved back. he says he loves me but his actions show different. hope by trying this challenge will save my marriage😔
Your life sounds a lot like mine.
1st day...My wife told me yesterday that she wanted a divorce or dissolution.....She also said that she feels as we are living as roommates and Best friends instead of Married couple...Devastating
Day 1. I don't know what out come I'm looking for. 30 years and I'm tired of having to work at this so hard. Most days now I'm thinking of ways to leave. He's been checked out for a long time and shows no interest in checking back in.
Day 1, I don't know what outcome I'm looking for. 30 years and I'm tired. I've prayed, I've tried. Honestly, I think this is my last attempt. Communication has broken completely. Trust is gone. He's angry and I'm bitter. Peace would be nice.
My wife feels that I really don't know her. I am hoping this dare will help me really know my wife and treat her the way she would want to be treated. Pray for us.
praying 🙏

He requested me on Facebook and TikTok only to block me after our first argument now he simply goes through my phone to see what I have posted and what new ppl have been added to friends list,

My SO has left me so many times. Today he said that he doesn't love me anymore. I don't blame him, I have been completely falling apart in the most horrid way. I took it all out on him.
I have 2 week's to make some positive changes in my marriage before husband gives up... hoping i can start making a change in myself before hes done...
I feel like giving up. There is a problem. But I still need to give this a try and complete this dare.
I am battling with depression with a baby on the way. My husband is not with us and is not willing to save our marriage, he is a backslider believer of God.I figure i will do this challenge and send to him daily the verse of the day.
I am battling with depression with a baby on the way. My husband is not with us and is not willing to save our marriage, he is a backslider believer of God. I do not know what to do
Today is day 1 in my journey to a new me for my love. I was verbally abusive and emotionally abusive to her. I regret all my actions and it has been a week now that she left. She hasn't spoken to me or seen me.
Is my first day doing this, I know it'd a long journey, I do identify myself a lot with the movie and I ordered the hard copy to my husband as a gift. Hopefully this help us out, keep us in your prayers!
My partner doesn't believe in God but I do. We both agreed to give it one more go because theres still love and we have a daughter. this journey is mine though. prayers
Is it better for me to do the live dare alone or suggest we do it together?
I have tried to do this many times. I struggle letting my words turn to action. This is our 2nd marriage for both of us. I struggle with and addictive personality. Please pray with me for strength and wisedom to preserve and make the needed changes.
so my wife and i had been apart since January things got bad um i was a completely different person than i am now. we have been married since 18 and im 29 now. she ignores me. i love her so much amd miss her. and she acts like i dont exist.
I am a very strict person when it comes to myself and I have very high standards Unfortunitly I've expectected the same standards for my wife and I think I've suffocated her love. I hope that God will be able to make my heart soft towards my wife
Today my wife and I are on day one together. I struggle with addiction.. We both struggle with promiscuous behaviors.
My boyfriend demands I should be patient with him but he shames me when I don't do something the way he wants. I really struggle with this. please advise me
Day 1, shared with my partner and hope this helps us
We have been married for 25 years, it's has been rough and we have decided to get serious about counseling, we did one session and it's was wonderful. I believe God is at work and will restore.
We at a point where both don't want a divorce but scared to try again and all just happens all over again.I believe God can bring full restoration and starting with the love dare today to give it a try while praying and trusting God for the rest.
I know
what's interesting is that he reciprocates the silence. so I'm sure it's only resentment or anger and a growth of pride that goes on when neither of us says something.
She is overly helpful to the point of patronizing. I enjoy being taken care of, but i also want to do/make things my way at times. and that needs to be okay.
i moved to his hometown for the 3rd time, Everytime i come here i fall into depression.we lived in my hometown too&it was the other way around. he never wanted to be part of family/friend events, now he wants me to go with him&i don't want to...
well i gave this my best shot..seems doomed to fail..divorce signing in a few days.
so sorry to hear that
well i gave this my best shot..seems doomed to fail..divorce signing in a few days
Day 2, she has plans to go out, so i got up and irnoned and got her outfit ready for the evening. She thanked me. I really hope this challenges brings us closer.
My marriage is on the rocks and has been for some time now. My husband said he doesn't love me and wants to leave. im a stay at home mom.We have 4 kids together. Im so broken and a whole bunch of a mix of emotions. plus there is another woman :(
I come into this with a broken heart. I asked my husband if he is seeing someone else and he said yes but then later he told me that he just said it to get me to leave him alone.
My wife has been hurt by my family and by me not making her a priority and not stnading up for her. she has asked for a divorce but given me a short extension to show her how important she is...im going to use every second.
I need to make a change for my family. less perfectionism, less anger, more love and peace, rebuilding trust. I'm scared, blending a family is hard.
our relationship was in ruins for 7 months, in that time she cheated, we have 6yo twins. i throw it in her face when we fight. i want this to work and she says she does too
Me and my fiance have been on and off for 5 years we have to amazing children together. I broke his trust in me in the past as he has broke me to now we have the problem of regain each others full trust back
i have an addiction that in the past 4 years has taken over. ive neglected my marriage and my wife. I drove her into the arms of another man. The Love Dare saved my marriage in the beginning, praying it can agian now 🙏
my marriage has been in the toilet for months now. my wife slept with someone else which resulted in her getting pregnant and my supervisor at work told me if i wanted to fix it to try the love dare
I've been married for 26 years. my husband doesn't want to be married anymore because he has met me a new woman three years ago and they have become friends. we're trying love dare to see if things can be worked out before getting divorced.
I've been married for 26 years. my husband doesn't want to be married anymore because he has met me a new woman three years ago and they have become friends.
Trying to rebuild my marriage. Found out my wife had an affair 26 years ago and my 26 yr old son is not mine. Total betrayal! Willing to try to start over. Needed guideline to building better marriage this time.
My husband and I have only been married a year and already have been through so much in a short time. I want to become closer to him through the Lord.
I am taking this dare to fix the marriage that i have been messing up. My husband has been gracious to give a second chance and i dont want to blow it.
Im going to try this. Cos this is my last option. my wife already gave up on me and our marriage. Hopefully this wil do the trick to change me into the way i should be and to the way i must be with my wife....
My wife and I are rebuilding our relationship after I almost destroyed it during my active addiction. We found this app right after we decided we needed spiritual guidance. We are both afraid of what might happen. I pray that God will guide us
i have done this before but not the online version. gonna try again just pray it gets easier
I am doing this challenge for myself to see where I have changed. or if there is indeed a huge issue in my marriage. I can't throw 13 years away.
I am doing this challenge for myself to see where I have changed. or if there is indeed a huge issue in my marriage. I can't throw 13 years away
My biggest frustration is that when we are busy communicating, the conversation would stop midway due to msgs receives on cellphone...and as much as what my partners work revolves around her phone it gets to me
Day 1: It's just me doing this...a last resort for a marriage on its last thread.
my husband noticed this little change and said "whatever you're doing, keep doing it" haha
i want to be the partner he deserves
This has been an incredible experience. Most of the dares so far we already do daily for each other. But it has strengthen my relationship with God. I also am reading the 5 love languages which is also based around God.
my lady think this is a stupid idea
I'm waiting for the book to arrive from Amazon before I start, and honestly I'm in a bad place. My marriage is on thin ice, and my wife told me that she's not a Christian like she had led me to believe over the past 5-1/2 years. My heart is crushed.
so yesterday was my second day. i messed up. do we start over or just keep going? im letting yall know thst we are in this together. with God anything is possible anf can be fixed.
I started today, but failed badly ..Problem is, its not from his side, I am the problem, I have a short temper, and are struggling to control my temper, I know I am pushing him away
This my third time doing the Love Dares. The 1st and 2nd time ended in a disaster. I gave my wife the link but she never clicked on it. This time around I will doing the challenge for forty weeks instead of forty days.
started this today. my husband and I have been married for 25 years. our marriage has been rocky. It seems like we are always struggling. We have stopped communicating and our intimate life has changed as well. Our love has grown cold.
I have started this today. I have been contemplating divorcing my husband. After prayer. I felt god lead me to do this Dare. I have started it and stopped several times. I know with God's help I will complete this dare.
I'm starting tomorrow. Been married for 13 years and the marriage is Rocky. My husband has mentioned that he would like to move out and then we can try and fix things. I'm hoping that by starting the dare he would decide to rather stay.
been at it for a year unconditionally loving my spouse feel used abused and totally hated
test
I've started and stopped this a few times, yet hav given up in refusing to suffer at times for my beloved. There has been such rejection of me on her part, and we have done 7 months of marriage coaching to no avail.
secretly doing the love dare without letring the bubby in on it that I am. Gonna be the best i can be for God, our marriage, our home,and the Kingdom !
my husband suggested this, but has already moved out and in with another woman- how can this work if he is absent
my wife asked me to do this 5 years ago and i refused. i pray its not too late
Day 1 down. I'm ready to look within my self and become a better friend and wife.
been married almost 20 years. I hope I can help fix us. I would like communication from him and compassion. I hope tomorrow is better.
day one and already screwing up
Been married 9 yrs. He spent 2.5 yrs in prison & he's been out for a year. I've stood by him through it all, faithful, but broken and hurt. Im terrified that we will never recover all the way. We are just so lost I just pray we can find the US again.
Only made it to day 13 before giving up. I felt encouraged to start again. This morning, I'm questioning why. I love my wife, I made selfish choices that hurt her. Were separated, I may have broken our marriage beyond repair. I dont want to give up!
l love my boyfriend dearly and we've been together for about four years. However, we've hit a few rough spots this fall. Hoping to strengthen our relationship by completing all of the Love Dare challenges.
Our 9 marriage has often had major challenges but this time she wants a divorce. I've lost her heart. I've been praying hard and often pleading with God to soften her heart and to change me. Really need a breakthrough.
Day 1 ... wish me luck 😬
okay....its 230 I'm going to give this a try
My husband of 20 years married and 22 years together, told me he's done with our marriage. I don't want our marriage to end.
Has anyone tried to do the love dare with a drig addict?
Has anyone tried to do the love dare with a meth addict?
Has anyone tried to do this dare with a meth addict?
i have been married almost a year and no matter what I do it seems like it ain't good enough i so work a lot i have 2 jobs because we are behind on bills. but she refuses to to have time for us
I messed up in this relationship because I allowed people to poisen my mind and my heart towards my fiance and I did thing I am not proud of things that I would of never done . i want him and him alone
Thank you
My wife is wanting a divorce. She says she plans on going through with it no matter what. Im scared and struggling right now. I dont want it to end, but its hard to see how its not going to right now. I dont want to lose my wife or my family.
My husband cheated on me by having an emotional affair with another woman. He built a relationship over 3 months chatting to her everyday and eventually fell in love with her. How do I trust him again? Where do I go from here?
what do i do if she wont see me or talk to me she block me and her family ask me to move on. how will she see the change in me
this is my last hope to save us.my husband says he's done.we both have lots to work on but i don't want to give up on us and it hurts that he does. i pray i get past my trust issues and depression and take accountability for my actions when needed
wow i hurt the woman God brought into my life, i belive with all my heart, he brought us together, but hurt her. now she has block menout of her life God put it on my heart the love dare anyways. but what do i do if she wont see me or talk to me
My husband doesn't look at me the same way anymore. I feel emotionally bruised and it's hard to feel like his wife and not JUST his assistant at work. Any advice will be appreciated... all I know is I don't want to give up.
My husband doesn't look at me the same way anymore. He's more distant and short-tampered with me. I don't want to give up. I recognize I haven't been giving my 100%, but it's difficult when all I feel is emotionally exhuated and bruised.
I've been praying and waiting. He made it clear to me that today is the day. My wife has divorced me already, I have not divorced her. Praying for clarity. I know God will provide. Paul (& Stephanie) Adams.
It's been 3 days since my husband told me he wants to split up. He doesn't want to even try anymore. I feel so hopeless but I'm trying to do everything I can to keep my marriage.
After 17 years my wife says, she doesn't love me anymore and that she's moving out. I'm trying, but this is really hard.
My husband and I have been together for 18 year, married for 17 of them. For months I have tried to work with my husband on our marriage. This weekend we were arguing during which he referenced me as a "demon from hell".
spent half the day yesterday betraying wife/breaking marriage covenant. I don't want to live like this anymore
after 18 years my husband has told me he isn't in love with me and wants out . I'm heart broken 💔💔

been married for almost 9 years....like all couples struggles...I am trying to connect to God again as I know only he has the solution...my wife told me she no longer loves me....trying day 1 tomorrow
i didnt know what to say when he told me he was going a work functiin and she said she was with friends drinking. i wanted to ask if they were at the same place but held my tongue
don't know if this is the right thing to do by going through this LOVE DARE ,I am hoping God will hear me and help me.Thank you.
HE THINKS HE IS MORE SPIRITUAL THAN ME),And I hope the love dare challenge makes all the differences have been hoping for.
hummmm!! I am new here,I want to make my marriage work,I want God to help me in these journey because it's not going to be easy with the kind of person my husband his ,he thinks he knows everything.
okay Beginning day 1....we been on n off again for over a year. I admit I messed up I apologize daily n he will not forgive me nor will he take me back. he's mentioned wanting to see change in me improvement in my attitude.....I pray this helps.
I had the divorce papers in my hand. He refused to sign for months. Now that we are together and trying to work out our marriage .... he doesnt want me. I feel like there is someone else at work. So many negative thoughts.Day 1 for me.
We have been living together for 8 years,married for 7 months. my husband hates his job,therefore he eants to escape in TV games & I feel along and discarded, even though I should be grateful he choses to come home
Day one yesterday I had to hold my tongue. Even my thoughts drift towards negative things. I did the pile of dishes as well. Today I'll resolve to kick it up a bit.
tbh my wife and i have a great relationship. We rarely fight but i still try every day to find ways to be a better husband and i never want to stop showing her how much i love her.
My first day here,I have been separated for 7years,my husband moved on after 14yrs together,he was abusive physically and emotionally and didn't provide at all,I have since forgiven him and looking at God to provide a companion of His choice
My first day here,I have been separated for 7yeaes,my husband moved on after 14yrs together,he was abusive physically and emotionally and didn't provide at all,I have since forgiven him and looking at God to provide a companion of His choice
Day 1 for me. We have been married for 7 years. I am not in love with my husband but I do love him! I hoping to get that love back!
Today is Day 1 for me. My husband and I are not separated at this time, but I predict if things do not change it will get there. i have been stressed and mean all the time and i want to be a better wife.
It's day 1 for me. I have been married to my wife for 14 years and we have 3 kids. I neglected my wife very frequently due to passive-aggressive fighting style and now, she no longer loves me. I'm trying this for 40 days.
i am separated from my wife for almost a year but God still gave me a hart to try and win my wife's hart back i still did not recieved my divorce papers but she told me that's se is seeing someone else.....
I realize now by fighting with my wife with what makes me amgry pushes us apart. I need to work on my negativity and be building up my wife more. I cannot stop thinking about my wife and I need her in my life. i am probably a verbal abuser
I need to fight for our marriage.wrong work related friends, pornography, unfaithfulness, ego, pride, status, money.... there is so many things I must fight to get my husband to see me again and realise that I am still here with so much love for him.
I messed up in my past and now I am wanting Christ wholeheartedly. my husband is in the process of moving out and want to divorce. today is day one.
32 years of marriage.I think my husband has had an affair and some serious pornography issues.He has been hiding many things from me this past year.I love him and want to fulfill God's destiny in my life.Today is day one.
Day 1. My husband and I are together for 7 years now. We are both so busy. It feels like we're drifting apart and I'm trying my best to keep our marriage a priority but we barely speak to each other.
I started day 1 today. My husband and I are together for 7 years now. We are both so busy. It feels like we're drifting apart and I'm trying my best to keep our marriage a priority but we barely speak to each other.
I've decided to focus on myself and my marriage today. We have been separated for 2 years and and I finally found the courage within myself to have the "what are we" talk. It's painful to me that he still has doubt
Today is my first day of this. My husband and I already have a great relationship. We have had to work at it. One of the things we need to work on is not being overly critical and not being sarcastic with one another.
I fear how loud she gets will affect our boys impression of marriage looks like. Even when I explain she says I am trying to silence her. Now I say nothing and let her go on. She may self evaluate. I reserve facial expressions and listen.
This is Day 1 of my journey. I'm hoping to rekindle my love for my mate. Somewhere I have lost that love and I don't want to leave. It is time for us to make changes or we will be over. As the head I know all change starts with me.
I am going to try this...I've been married to my husband for six years I haven't always been the nicest or faithful to him. I have hurt him so much he doesn't want to stay but he doesn't want to leave. hoping this helps
I have 0 patience when its comes to everything and he stays so patient with me and does everything to help me calm down its amazing how just his touch can calm my anxiety
my patience was put to the test today. there were so many triggers to cause me anger. i told myself not to engage. i know this will always be a challenge for me to do but it feels amazing to know He is my strength.
he asked me to give up on us.
Today will challenge me since there have been alot of negative things said lately but I have to remember it is only day 1 of doing better to fix the problems and better my 6 year relationship.
tried to be nice kind got him a drink made a nice dinner. said positive things to him. what he asked what my problem was he started yelling at me from me touching the remote what do i do? im at a loss of words and so emotional.
I tried deleting all my comments from previous dares but it still shows up how do I start over so I can out new comments
we are doing this as am engaged couple we started to get discouraged but just looked at what our future could hold.
I began doing this today. Each time my husband does not respond well, I keep in mind that this is only day one. He is used to me responding negatively, so that is what he expects. Persistence!
The point of this dare is to start finding yourself and change yourself for the good and don't expect anything to change easy or quickly from the spouse... This dare is about you and God nobody els.
starting out day 1. my wife wants to leave after she found me talking to another woman. nothing ever happened beyond conversation. but I want to fight for our marriage. we've been together 7 years married 4. I just want my marriage back on track
After having my baby girl I don't feel like myself anymore and can't give my husband what he wants and don't want to lose him because of it and all of my thoughts are negative
After having my baby girl I don't feel like myself anymore and can't give my husband what he wants and don't want to lose him because of it
This Love Dare was Good andvi. starting over to Day 1 to keep my Marriage Godly and going. We will be married 5 years next June
Is this just negative comments about ones spouse and their comments, it are we supposed to put a positive spin on negative topics like a child getting hurt, ect. Positive spin for me, how are you living this date?
So I have to restart the love dare My husband and I got into a huge fight and has been ongoing about 5 days Now he doesn't want to be with me at all He is now with me cause of our baby I'm praying this save our relationship
i am struggling as my fiance has a long list of my sins against her, she said she is going to leave me after Christmas. she says that there is no hope, but i am praying that there is. i have to be patient with her hurt and pain. it is very hard.
Will be married 9 years next month. I am actually the character of the husband in the movie Fireproof. My husband wants out but, we can't move out of the will of God. How do I correct or make up for my destructive behavior?
how do I give my partner security everytime we fight i kick him out he feels he has no place i want to fix
wow what a thought I don't have to trust anyone but God and he has proven trust worthy. So I can move forward and let him be in control. Sounds easy so lete not complicated God guide me and be with me as I focus on placing my trust in you.
unfortunately even if i say something positive he'll turn it into a negative, so frustrating. if i don't speak he's upset, if i speak he's upset, i can't win.
this is going to be tough because my mouth overrides my head at times. I feel alone, I'm having trust issues and I don't know where to start. so here I am in all flaws giving this one last shot
Over the entirety of our relationship, i have really struggled hard not to do the same thing as my mother. however, what i didnt notice was over time he was giving up more and more. now he wants a divorce. Is it too late to mend the broken here?
My husband told me he has one foot out the door and is ready to walk out of my life. We have a baby together. I am going to try this and hope it helps our relationship I am hoping it brings us closer and makes me a better person.
My husband told me last night that he has one foot out the door and is ready to walk out of my life. I'm hoping this helps us and makes me a better person.
My wife separated from me a month and a half ago. I now live in a different place as she starts to sell our house. she won't talk about any of our issues now. just stays pretty much silent
I have had so much patience with him, it so hard to do. When I am quite he seriously will not give in till I tell him what's wrong then it leads to a argument
My husband moved to another room and wants a divorce. I'm going to try this starting tomorrow. I don't want to lose my husband.
My marriage has had a rough year Loveisnt what my marriage lacks, it all the othher important components fight so much, im ready to walk fearful of hatred Were startin tomorrow we both could benefit from being both the doer and the recipient.
i wanted to start this yesterday but sometimes my mouth speaks anyway. i did apologize to him for what i said and we went to bed happy. But i couldn't sleep well knowing what my goals are. should i document day one as complete anyway?
I feel so useless and unwanted. My husband neglects me in every way and I've tried everything to make him see me, but he just doesn't love me anymore. All I ever did was to love him
I have all the patience in the world with our children! my greatest struggle is learning to choose my words wisely verses the first thing that comes to mind! I pray for patience through this journey knowing this won't be easy.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. --Ephesians 4:2 NIV Love works. It is life's most powerful motivator and has far greater depth and meaning than most people realize.
i find this hard to do. Alot of the time i say whats on my mind with no filter. I think she has been taking it as trying to make her feel guilty for what she does.
haven't seen each other in days. not speaking today made it easy to accomplish not saying negatives.
this is the reason im in this mess i realize that i have anger issues and am going to be taking an online anger management class when i get paid again. i just hope its not too late to save my relationship because i cant see myself loving anyone else
this one is pretty easy for me. I don't generally have a problem with negative language.
this is the hardest one for me, I struggle with patience with even myself.
Well it's been over a year since I added this app to my phone. Never got past day 5. God give me the strength to follow what your will is for me, my husband and our family! I'm doing this faithfully for the next 40 days.
My husband and I are struggling to stay together. I'm going to start this in the morning. He's not speaking to me right now so I'm not sure how it will work. I don't want to get divorced but I'm not sure what to do anymore.
my wife just moved out today and she asked for space. Can I do this challenge whilst she is not in our house?
Amen thank you Jesus that her husband has come to you!!!
im feeling pretty discouraged right now. the last 4 or 5 months r the best we've had in awhile, I brought this to him to do as a couple anyway, he moved out the next day.i truly think he has completely checked out of our marriage
This is very hard to do. Been together 5 years & have kids. I found out that he's been cheating on me but just gave his life over to God last night. He is seeking help & forgiveness. I am still very hurt but I am fighting for my family!
Day 1 Today maybe not the best day to start to practice it. He will go home late. And we both leave early. It's 5 am and both on our ways to work. By the way, I'm a complaining person, so maybe it's a blessing to begin with such a "short" day.

i have been married for 36 years. we are struggling to stay together. please pray that we both can hear God and not listen to our past/present hurts that fill ys both with such pain.
Easy to do this one because we didn't even speak but twice today. :(
starting even though it's after 8pm, please pray for me. We are going through so much for quite a long while now and am just tired and ready to start really enjoying my marriage and my husband.
can someone yell me hat the Bible says about apologizing. are we to apologize once and leave it or continue to apologize for the same thing. 8 am looking for scripture.
Amen!
I don't know what to do. has this worked for anyone? I got to day 13. I finally told him about the love dare today. everything got construed now he says he is leaving me. I am broken
Restarting. maybe I did not do it with the right heart. maybe I did not do it to change me. today I pray for him to be at peace and have understanding. I can't be with him or talk to him so I pray God hears my heart and will be with him.
this is my day one of this love dare commitment I want my marriage of 27 years to blossom again as I start over trusting God.
although it wasn't the best day I still for the most part maintain myself even when she was being mean for no reason
Admirable restraint.
husband thinks we got married to soon and should get divorced and start over to date and get engaged and eventually remarry... does this make any sense to anyone. I know its not God Word.
#12 realized I can do better. Day with wife and kids...nap time and waking up was surreal with them there. I feel I haven't given this my all. should I start over?
Haven't been able to get passed day 6...Starting again for the 3rd or 4th time.
Last time I got about 2 weeks in before we separated, but we're back, and I'm going trying again.Prayers please!This isn't easy after nearly 30 years together.
my husband and I separated a week ago from today. how can his choice I am utterly devastated there's no communication right now his choice I want to do the dare and save my marriage how can I do it being separated
It took me 2 weeks to get #1 done.
starting this today. I'll see how this works.
we are communicated better, we're talking not arguing, we're also going place together. He really understand how I fell. we're trying to get back to where we was at but with the help with God we can make it
I'm really going to give this a try but I could really use the prayers
Going to honestly give this a try .
Started today. Going through alot in my marriage right now, and trying to make things right. I'm working on bettering myself. trying to make changes that I know she wants me to make. I just hope it's not too late
I love this love dare so much, I'm new to the app and i look forward to learning and changing myself for the better of my marriage. When we fighg I always say painful words to my husband and from now on I am going to work hard on changing that
Trying again and going to give this my all my family deserves the absolute best from me.
my boyfriend wont do this with me 😭
I'm going to give this my best shot. it's 130 already but I will not say anything negative the rest of the day.
Hello all, I'm single and your journeys are encouraging me a great deal. I so want to be loved and to love. Right now, my focus is on my relationship with Jesus.
to be patient is hard. I've been married 23 years and wife has walls built up. and rightfully so. I am a legalistic in my faith but learning to have more grace. love is patient. I can't change my wife but I can change me.
so far so good with the negative. trying to stay positive and not set high expectations otherwise I set myself up for failure.
I have been married for 12 years we have recently been going through some issues lately that's been hard I love my husband very much but sometimes he's a little harsh with his words I try not to say anything negative but it's very hard
today was a hard day to bite my toungue my boyfriend is out using drugs bad abd messages me mean to me
continue from last comment... I was trying to hard to be patient while still upset and emotional...There was no stopping my tongue speak the negativity in my thoughts. Things are going well so far. God is great and Greatly to be praised!!!
I've started over 3 time in the first 2 weeks... Currently on day 6... My humble opinion is to take a few days to yourself and start when you are calm and out of any type of emotions except sometype of happiness. Clear your heart and your mind.
having built emotional walls, putting a divide in my marriage. I apologized to God and to my husband: trusting God to help me be the wife He wants me to be.
patience is key, wife lost her love for me after 5yrs marriage. I was n lost of words. but I'm going to fight for her and be patient that she comes bk home. with God anything is possible. prayers pleass
starting this journey as I really want our marriage back. it has been left empty after 10 years by the black dog of depression.
First time doing this. Only doing the dare to make myself a better person for my fiance. I am however quick with my tongue and would like to be more patient with him. This is very hard for me but pray for guidance
I've never made is past day one. I'm going through a divorce. Satan has control of my husband. He won't listen to anything I say. He refuses to give our marriage another chance. I feel lost. I'm trying to be patient/kind. But his lies make me angry.
So I start this again today on day one.... I did this dare before and I couldn't do the last 2days. Everything was so wrong in my life I lost faith in myself and God the past 2weeks. Time to get my life back
starting all over again
Starting this journey. I alone have really messed up this marriage. My wife has told me that she is guarding her heart and that I need to earn her trust and love, all over again. May God give me the strength and guidance through this journey.
Starting again today...
My husband wants a divorce, and has fallen out of love with me. I feel like I'm dying inside and this is my last attempt to try and help our marriage.
it has been an ongoing, repeated mistake. I don't know if I can still fight..but I watched the movie and I want to give it one last try.
I don't know if there's any fight left in me.....
I messed up our marriage, again by looking at things I shouldn't. my wife is really hurt. I am trying to figure out how to be a better husband.
I make a decision today to show Kelly love by saying nothing to him negative.
honey. i have sinned and now is my time to repent. i need to continuously do right by you. i love you.
1)Hi my love Rochelle, this is my and our fresh start. I messed up badly. And to do things right by you and us.
It shouldn't be so difficult ... my husband thinks getting married ruined our relationship. that it added stress and pressure. I told him thats not true we just stopped spending time together and praying like we were before.
I KNOW I CAN DO IT
Had to go a fair distance together in the car and ended up having to wait longer due to unexpected issues not in our control & it wasn't too bad.....still think I'll repeat Day 1 again tomorrow.
So I got up this am with full intentions of doing this love dare but within 5-10 minutes I was already spewing negative & ugly!!! So on day 1 till I can be positive.
Is there anyone here who tried to do the dare together with their partner? If so, kinldy share some notes! How did you initiate the dare to your spouse? How did they take it? What was the whole journey like? Will wait to hear 🙂
The verbal, mental & emotional abuse is too much, my husband I feel knows exactly what he's doing
I am so lost here.My wife asked for a divorce. she isnt even talking to me right now .
this is my first time going through this and I'm praying, my wife and I have been arguing fussing etc and I just want to be respected in my home by my wife and I need help im tired of being made the bad guy
how do you go about doing this if they make everything difficult
I'm going to try to do each of these for 21 days to try to form a habit of not speaking negatively. I really want my relationship to be stronger and we both struggle with this. Today is day 1 for me, I'm praying he will start this journey with me.
I have chronic pain and illness, still, I met my husband's sexual needs. Now, he's not interested in sex. Is it sinful to use sex toys or masturbate? He gets angry if I ask for sex. It's been 6 yrs., perhaps, he'd be happier if Jesus takes me Home.
This is very tough for me. This is my second marriage and I'm very much in love with my wife, but I take things personally that she says and I always come back with something negative or derogatory towards her.
My wife and I separated Saturday. We don't always see things eye to eye. We argue about things in our past that were unresolved. I know that God wants our marriage healed and for there to be reconciliation.
Even though he has his little insults towrsds me and say hurtful things like calling names, we are talking more and doing things together now, but I still have some issues with him
I love this book! I pray God helps me n my husband get closer together. I want our love for one another be so strong and beautiful!
I didn't do so well in speaking negativity today I hope praying that as I continue on my Journey to transformation that might thinking my actions my words will change I trust that as I become more determined to do better
my husband is out of town at a christians men retreat. I read this last night and thought, well this will be easy. but we've had 2 phone conversations today that have made me cry and the words of this dare keep echoing in my mind!
its so much hard and tired its my third time doing these
mmmm. this one is hard for me. good thing I'm starting today and not yesterday 🙈 I jacked this up royally yesterday. thank you Lord that your mercies are new every morning!!
Today has been really hard as sometimes we don't see eye to eye on disciplining the kids. I have held up so far but it is killing me not saying anything back or at all.
Starting the challenge today after leaving it last year. Let His grace dwell upon me.
we restarted this bc we got lost sight of what we wish to achieve.its not an easy road having broken trust and hurt from both sides but u have 2 start somewhere right.1 day at a time. prayers welcomed.
starting again. Life got in the way and very busy and I put this on the back burner. Time to recommit myself to my marriage with a joyful heart.
got mad broke promise again. let it go
this is hard
I have been doing this for years. If I dare say something negative, he comes back tenfold with insults. I will try to instead say something positive.
This is my second time doing this dare should i just give up? I love him i do and i want us and our 2 girls to be a happy family but when do you know to give up...
ok. God will help me.
No matter how many day I get passed. I keep coming back to dare 1. I think this is the hardest.
yes
this is our first day and it's very hard for me not to say anything. it feels like I'm allowing him to get away with lying to me and it's so hard to keep quiet. Lord forgive me and Help us.. heal my heart and the hurt away
I keep breaking down and the thought of my husband wanting to be in a relationship with another woman. I want to keep fighting for my marriage. I'm going into depression and I know I have to be strong for my kids.- CMF
Me and my husband are going through a hard time and another woman has entered his heart and now he wants to try and make a relationship with her. I dont want to give up on my marriage. I'm praying our marriage will work.
so not successful, and not because what my husband said or did but rather outside influences draining my energy today. retry tomorrow. i resolved that I will write down my negative feeling instead of saying it to avoid bringing his energy down.
i think that I'm doing excellent not by arguing with him. He is blaming everyone for his stress but he is talking to start an argument. should I not argue with him over little stuff?
this is hard when your not together
Exact reason, why my wife wants to give up. Don't usually talk negative towards my wife, as i'm very much in love with her. God pls forgive me, as i've been spoken before listening. Having faith in God on the yourney of winning back her hart. ❤️
in addition, I would encourage you to also forgive your source for what has caused you this temptation. my wife often provokes me to these feelings. though I'm not generally a patient person, I resolve to demonstrate patients to her going forward.
ok, I'm wanting to be completely honest with myself... I have a real problem making snarky little jabs at my husband. This one is going to be challenging, but will probably make a huge difference. praying God helps me hold my tongue today.
I can't seem to get this one
This one wasn't hard, as my husband hasn't been wanting to talk to me for the last 2 days. My heart feels broken and I'm saddened that his love can be so conditional.
okay well let's start this day out right with positive comments and keep the negativity out of the day
I was patient in the beginning but he just keeps doing the same thing over and over. Nothing works.
My day 1 and I am praying for God's grace to be sufficient.My husband has been too resentful even when I try to apologise
Day 1 is an easy one for me. my mouth has never been a problem, its the negative thoughts I have. So, instead of not saying negative things, I'm going to try not to think negatively about him, and right now that's a true challenge.
I try to never say anything negative to my spouse. Do i then pass day 1 and go to day 2?
I'm trying not to say anything but it's tempting, what to do?
this is so very true yet I get my self in trouble so often by doing the exact opposite
Day 1 went OK. we're in a low spot right now, and keeping quiet is hard for me. praying to continue to keep my mouth shut unless it is solely words of respect.
we normally never say bad things to each other
I'm pretty good at showing patience I often bite my tongue about lots.
This is going to be hard. I haven't been sleeping well and that makes me grumpy. I will pray to be kind.
the problem was my mouth would stay shut & then my hubby would say just say it! If I have nothing nice to say it's best to say nothing. then my hubby got upset with me because I wouldn't tell him what I was thinking.I feel like I can't win
Getting through Day 1. Had a couple negative thoughts but kept them in and didn't say them. She's kept distant much of the day, but I'm praying God Warms her heart and we reconcile.
Just re-watched Fireproof now that I'm going through my own woes. I'm starting my 40 days today. I feel I can do day 1. However, I get the feeling that my wife probably doesn't care how hard I try at this point in saving our marriage. Praying hard!
I want things to happen now and in my own time. In Jesus name I pray these next 40 days will heal this marriage of 15 years. Satan you are not wanted in our home, you must flee immediately in the of Jesus.
it was hard and very challenging even for me but I am still learning and studying my wife i know it's going to be a long road but I know it will be worth it because I have loved my wife for many years and still going strong
Its been a really hard day in my home today. We just recently got back together. I have had doubts about her vows. I am still trying so very hard to forgive and let go its not easy. I have doubts about another in our marriage.
this is truly hard to do
Day 1. We had a wonderful day talking on the phone for over 2 hours. I was mindful not to say anything negative. I'm so in love with her and hope this works
started being more patient and understand and loving with my words. think before I speak
I currently gave my husband an ultimatum. then I watched WarRoom and now I'm here...hoping for a miracle or I'm afraid my marriage is over...
My husband is a recovering alcoholic. I love him with all my heart, but Lord he gets on my nerves somedays.😆 This one was hard, but I did it! Bit a hole in my tongue too. Literally!
hoping this helps
The full love dare does work. I have helped many marriages by passing the dare to them. Faith and determination is a must.
The full love dare does work. I gave helped many marriages by passing the dare to them. Faith and determination is a must.
Today is my Day 1. I like to think I'm fairly patient, but today I'll truly examine my actions and see if I am as patient as I believe.
So day one was not easy at all and I did the complete opposite of what it asks us to do. That is why Tomorrow I will start it all over again. until I get it right day 1 here I will stay.
today was a very difficult day for me to not say anything negative to my spouse
I hope he agrees to do this with me & takes it seriously. If this 1 thing would change- then negative or criticising talk toward me or my child, so much would change. I don't think he realizes how often he bashes me in someway.
I'm. really trying but my husband keeps blaming blaming for everything and fighting all the time. he is nice around others but at home alone with me he talks down to me and finds ways to fight
i wanna be a better husband and not upset my wife for the words i say and action that i may do
sitting here, separated from my husband, out of love, figured I have nothing to lose and everything to gain from this dare. Cheers to day one.
this is actually pretty hard my mouth is not nice it's a good thing to start with
I just started this today. My wife and I are in a very rough patch where she is talking separation (not divorce). This will be my second time going through this but first time where I have my heart in the right place
I feel like my husband doesn't care. I thought "He should DEFINITELY do this challenge for me" but God said "No Amber YOU take the challenge "
my partner and I are both doing this love date together. day one went well, looking forward to the next day.
so we started this, and I did day one and did as I was to do, but she could not keep her composure?
I'm starting today.
thankful I achieve this one today infact it felt really good. we end up in flights quickly if I let things get to me so glad I stopped myself
thankful I achieve this one today infact it felt really good. we end up in flights quickly if I let things get to me
me and my husband are struggling bad cause of what I've done i want to fix are marriage to the point I will never screw up again and that I will be happy together like we were. I need to try but I feel so much guilt and fear it won't work
Trying again, I struggle with the lack of love and commitment I currently feel in my marriage. I am not willing to give up. My hope is in the Lord even when I feel no hope. Please pray for me and my husband.

This is my first start of the love dare, me and my husband does have quite a difficult marriage and hope to receive good feom this, had been praying for our marriage so so long.
as I read the content for day one I already see that I'm going to have to start that tomorrow because I have already spoken negatively to my husband. please pray for us we are very very broken right now
day one went amazing, since we never say harsh words I just enhanced my positive text to him throughout the day
all went well today.
my relationship is struggling and I'm praying this helps. starting day 1 tomorrow dp
one good thing about our relationship is that we never fight and never say ugly things to each other. so, instead of holding back ugly words I am going to focus on actively texting him words of encouragement and affirmation.
me and my husband of 8 years are struggling and im praying god will bring clarity into our marriage and im hoping this will help. starting day one tomorrow.
Day one went good as we spoke a lot today i was scared that something may happen but i kept calm and she was also calm
so me and my wife of 16 years are still in love but we are hurting each and other and have decided to seperate i have ask her to not move out as she was planning on moving today is my day 1
sammyarceneaux128@gmail.com
you can't "un-say" things, so holding your tongue sometimes is the best option
i am starting today,i pray that everyone is successful in this journey.
Just getting started and excited!
Day 1 completed
so far today's going good no negative thoughts I'm feeling hopeful
this seems to come easy to me today since we have come to an agreement ab the past. i feel postive n optimistic already.
im doing ok although I am up against alot so I have been holding on to Jesus and His words with all I got as well as trying to keep focused on my own journey so I dont blam. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I'm starting over tomorrow. We had such a big falling out 2 nights ago that I'm going to have to start it all over with a different mindset. If I want less criticism, I need to learn to give it first.
6/19/21 12:15pm Doing good so far
6/19/21 12:15 Doing good so far
I gave been struggling with patience due to many many reasons. today I did really well with my husband and said loving things to him. I could tell a difference in his tone and body language. Day 1 was a success!
I bot my tongue
had to bite my tongue, but I did.
i have already failed at this but I want my marriage to be successful. I am truly struggling with this. i feel broken, and will make a conscious effort to follow through with this Day 1
Day 1 went fairly well. We are currently in self isolation so having my wife and two little ones at home is challenging but also nice. I'm really hoping my wife will fall back in love with me.
I made it through today. I'm looking forward to the process
my husband says hes tired all the time. my love language is physical touch I need this I try to be paitent. what do I do?
this is going to be hard he pushes me into blowing up on him
its hard not to say negative things to my husband we never spend time together
it was easier to complete this dare than I thought it would be... holding my tongue took alot of patience, but i managed to do it.
I will try and say nothing negative towards you today. Love is Love irregardless of how we treat it.
I'm just thankful we started day one and I pray we continue through
lord help me to speak this cover tony. help me to hold my tongue and speak only wisdom and love to him.
Day 1 is hard
Paul Adams I made it for day one !
❤
good luck
hello. So I commented a few days ago. I'm going to try today to do this. if it means being out all day so be it. I have to admit I'm not overly religious person
I been dating for 2 year and half we not married but we been having a rocky relationship i want to make it better
I been dating for 2 year and half we not married but we been havung a rocky relationship i want to make it better
I did gripe a little about the dirty laundry but he fell back asleep fast. I will try to start this today. everytime I think I want to be rude or a smart butt I'll walk off. lol.
thank you so much. best of luck to you too
I am honestly a pretty patient person already. however bring quick to listen and slow to speak is not strong suit. today I continued to remind myself that I love him and no matter how mad he is, getting mad back will solve nothing.
can you start this in the middle of a day ?
me and my husband watched the movie Fireproof and both laughed and cried at the situations that are like mirrored images in our relationship..looked this up online and im going to start it today in secret 😊
My husband and I have tried this for 3 days in a row and failed....starting to feel very discouraged on day one.
this is very true
I pray that God places his healing hands on us also and pray our families are Reconciled.
Having done this for months I can say I understand this alot.
God, please place Your healing hands on us. I have hurt with my lies and actions. Allow her and You to forgive me, for her to heal so we can move forward with our lives together.
He is always telling me I have something negative to say after each amd every statement. this will be exceptionally difficult for me. I go into this heavy hearted with so much weight to carry on my shoulders. praying
Starting day one tomorrow. Watched the movie as a teen and now, 2 years into marriage with problems from the get go. Getting married solely because God told us we need to marry each other, we married with no love between us. We are so different
I tend to keep stuff to myself and think most of the negative thoughts, so today's dare is mostly inward. Think positive thoughts about his actions, motives et al.
On the surface, my marriage looks good - supportive husband, very hands on at home - but that's it. I've decided to let go and let God. Starting this love dare today bcos I want to do things differently to get the greatly desired change.
My wife was having a bad day.I told her that she looks better and asked if she's feeling better and she said yes.Turns out she spoke to the other man she has feelings for.Told her at least she is having a better day.
My husband filed for divorce. I love him with all my heart. He barely speaks to me. I just know that I am committed to him and will do all I can to make the changes I need to see in myself.
I'm starting the Love Dare today. I've been such a selfish person for so long, but I don't want to be anymore. I've got to make changes in my life before I lose my wife and kids. I hope this book will at least give me a good starting point.
attempting to save my marriage. im always home alone while my husband goes out. he never makes plans with me. he refuses to talk about anything. he just shuts down. this is probably my last hope. God help us.
I'm starting The Love Dare today. I have been such a terrible wife. I pray that we will at least be able to be friends someday.Holding on to Hope
I am starting the love dare book today. I have never done anything like this before, I have let myself down & my marriage as well for 2 years. I love my wife & I want to start a new beginning in our marriage.
I'm going to start this today. I figure, maybe, if I do this with him, he will begin to see what it really means to love and be loved.
Since the cause of our impending separation is mainly because of me not seeing how much she needed to be noticed, this one was easy for me. There actually are very few negative things about her. She is so gentle, caring and kind.
Just done the lovedaretest.com and got 434 ish , I asked my wife to do it. On her report it highlighted 5 area are of great concern and need attention. Thank God is on the journey with us.
kgoo lc
I am trying my best not to say anything negative I am just tired of arguing I love him I pray this helps its my third time doing this.
I love that this is #1 bc man do I need this in every aspect of my life but especially my marriage!!! I'm hopeful and positive bc I determined to fix me!!! The only thing I know for sure... ALL I NEED TO DO TODAY IS BE BETTER THAN I WAS YESTERDAY.
We had a talk laying in bed last night and I just listened, tried to just listen fully without thinking of a rebuttal. I did get upset and I rolled over and went to sleep so I wouldn't say anything I would regret.
I've hurt her so much with my words and lies I've been so wrong to her God forgive me and help me save my marriage and my family
my boyfriend cheated while I was pregnant and I want to see if it's possible to save our family or if we need to just move on and co parent
I said hi and sorry today... no response yet.
Well...I haven't said anything negative but I don't think he has noticed anything.
we're not living together right now things are complicated but I say nothing negative to her I think she just want your space she's unsure God willing I win my family back cuz I love you with all my heart
my wife has distanced herself and shut off completely!! sometimes I just want to give up and move out! I'm lost and hoping this will work it's my last resort!!!
For me, since my wife has already moved out and cmmunication is very minimal. I will practice saying nothing negative about her and her family to my friends and family and if we do speak, then I will practice with her.
so my husband and i have been married for 12 years seperated on and off most of it. i have wanted to do this challenge fkr years just never could fnd it so glad someone finally made this app started today we will see what happens
Praying that this will help my boyfriend/husband to see that I love him no matter what.
financial stress has put a HUGE burden on our relationship. I went through a depressed stage before meeting him where I got a lot of speeding tickets. so our financial problems is largely my fault. but the stress ha55⁵/t//t
I figured this would be easy. but due to the amount of stress we are under, I found it hard tobg7hye
My fiancee and I have been together 9 years and there has been a lot of bad things. We have tried everything but I need to give this to God now.
my fiance and i have been together for 6 yrs we are struggling.we tend to say hurtful words to one another inspite of anger.communication is NOT in our relationship.when i try to explain how i feel he gets defensive
I failed saying nothing negative, we almost ended breaking up our relationship, but we still manage to choose to stay. On day 2 I will see to it to say nothing negative to her and at the same time do the love dare for day 2
It's hard when all the bad is right at the tip of your tongue. The little things seem so big when your at a breaking point. Pray, go for a walk, & have an accountability partner.
every misspoke word has a consequence
day 1. my hearts broken.
My husband has decided that our marriage is over, not because one of us has done anything to the other but simply because I didn't submit to a fairly simple request. Today I start this and I truly hope he sees that all these years were worth it.
My husband is struggling really hard with a temptation to use methamphetamine this morning... we are both recovering addicts. I am trying to use this first dare to be patient and let God work. I don't have to beg and nag.
I choose to except my fault and how my wife vents. I deserve the repercussions for lacking and now trusting in her the fact I choose to start over was with a clean mind and a gole
I'm doing this
so today will be the first I start...our relationship is going down hill because I get easily upset when his brother thinks he can.put his.sense in us,I'm hoping my husband sees I'm trying and I will fix my anger,and learn to love properly.
Day one down. He is gone for the day, hopefully he will come home tonight after work.
To be honest i tried reached day 5 and figured out that this is a waste of time if you not both commited to make it work. I would rather be a single father then be in a marriage where only one sided widrawels take place.
I need to stay positive so I did what he ask me to do
Most of the time I feel unwanted by my husband. Telling me to leave him alone and that I'm this awful person.
Today wasn't so bad. There wasnt any trying times. I tried to be very respectful today.
I took him some dinner tonight and had to hold my tongue cause when I got to the house he's at he was leaving, after he told me he didn't feel like going anywhere!
Day 1, Lord help me hold my bitter tongue, to only show love and for my husband to see the love I have to give.Maybe he'll recipricate.
My husband of 9 years shoves his emotions away. I feel alone. Today in an argument, he told me to go file divorce papers. Im trying this last chance to see if I can save the marriage. Pray for us!
I love him but we aren't married yet and I am already feeling lonely. I feel like I put in so much effort for no reason. Its so hard when your inlove by yourself
even though we only see each other on the weekends due to moving ans stuff it's been stressful but today was good
even though we only see each other on the weekends it's been stressful but today was good
We experienced tornado warnings and a late day. I also didn't get to complete tasks I needed to do because I had to help other patience today was beyond measure.I know why i didn't get to start work today and it's okGod had other things in mind.
how do I fix us
my marriage needs a miracle
he doesn't love me enough to even stop smoking weed
my husband fat hates me and is trying to make me hate him so I will leave
I'm starting the love dare tomorrow . .. may 3. please keep us in your prayers.
she just accuss me of texting someone while I was writing this I can't win for loosing with her
it's hard when all she wants to do is accuss me of sleeping around and this and that,.
I'm am starting this today, me and my wife both has had affairs and we are on the rocks as of late we both want to be together but we have forgotten how to get along with each other
Be more willing to stop and think before I speak. And speak in love.
ive been on the losing end of a substance abuse battle that has put my wife and I at odds.I pray to God that he will keep me strong as I begin my journey not only to save my marriage but myself as well
How are you to be patient with someone when they are breaking their vows?
starting today and i am not sure i am prepared for the reactions. i hope they are good. we have a son, and i want to strengthen this marriage for his future
I stated 5 yr ago during her addiction. through rehab/divorce I have never given up on her, she has given up on me.I was hurt but she has been clean and moved in. after rehab. I wanted her to build her trust with kids and rekindle the love we had.
My Wife and I have a rocky past. We still find ourselves at odds regularly. I have a list of things I think SHE needs to change, but all I can do is change myself. I tend to be critical by nature, so stopping the negativity is a great first step.
i found the one god wantes me to have and i blew it
I am starting today because I told my wife I wanted a divorce 2 days ago. I regret it because that is not what I want but I hurt her badly, I need to build her trust with me again
starting again, it has been a couple of years. I last did when my husband had an emotional affair. we have worked through that but now I have become worn out by trying to be the spiritual leader in our home.
Starting over because I fell apart on Day 5 and cried and yelled about something separate from the Day 5 task. 🙁
I'm starting this challenge today. I feel that I'm lacking trust towards my husband for something that happened years ago. he chooses not to have communication and just keeps anything that bothers him within him. I am devistated at the moment
I have been blind for so long. The love of my life has been hurting for so many years it takes her telling me she wants a divorce as well as retaining an attorney, to open my eyes.
my boyfriend and I have been on a rocky road. I've started this from today i did ask him for another chance but he can't seem to let things go none of us have cheated just that misunderstandings have gotten in the way.
my wife and I have been fighting for seems like years we are at a point where we are going to devoice if something don't change this is my first day she doesn't know I am starting this.,.wish me the best I love her with all I am.
I love my husband so much wish he could forgive me
I love my husband so much wish he cod forgive me
my relationship has been in a really bad place the last few months, he's been unfaithful and doing things of the world and I've been in a world of depression & anxiety & not able to really leave the house. the last week or so I've picked myself u
Today us my first day, I have destroued my relationship with my wife and broken her. I am sorry please pray that God will restore us
put reminders in my phone to "SAY NOTHING!"
I have cheated on my husband and he is giving me another shot. so I'm going to use this book to inspire me. pray for the best
I love my husband and I know that he loves me but I feel that I am being to clingy or needy of his attention. I guess I am competing for his attention with his cell phone. My challenge is that I am going to be patient and not say a word.
I love my husband more than words can say. I have let worldly things almost destroy us and losing him would be one of the biggest failures of my life. please say a prayer for Amanda my husband and our three children along with the rest of our family
this is the biggest part why my marriage is in trouble, one of them .
I promise to love Sara more everyday, and pray that God gives me the strength, and knowledge to be a better husband for her everyday.
We are trying to have children but... I want to focus on my husband, pray for him more and love him more. He's such a blessing to me and I trust in God's promises
I am going to do this challenge on my husband bc this is my 2nd marriage and we have 2 small children, I don't want to give up without saying I did everything to make it work
So I'm going to start over because I really slacked this time I'm not going to lose focus
im needing this challenge i need to be more in love with my soon to be wife also i need to be patient with and understand her
Today is the day I finally let God take control of my life. I tried to do this on my own, but it's impossible. I haven't been there for my wife life I should have. I been lost in my own world. I'm so sorry Shannon.
u
Hi I have been with the love of my life for going on 5 years now we have 3 lil girls ages 3 2 1. I don't want to lose my family ..... So I'ma do this dare
I am starting this challenge today. I just had my third son over a month ago and going through post partum depression is tearing us apart. I want to try to be what God wants me to be as a wife
I am starting this challenge today. I just had my third son over a month ago and going through post Parfums depression is tearing us apart. I want to try to be what God wants me to be as a wife
starting today. I love my husband but sometimes it's hard not to say anything negative when he pushes me and then I say something.
I love my wife and I want to save my marriage and I so want to simply be Kind. God grant me the strength and patience today to do this dare for yhe rest of today and tomorrow and every day to come.
We have been married for almost 38 years. Most of that can be classified as "Married Singles". My wife recently had a heart attack. That scared me, and woke me up to my responsiblity as a husband. I want to finish well.
I cant get past this day 😭
I'm starting the challenge today, I've been married for almost 3 years. Our marriage feels like it's dried up. I feel like my husband isn't as committed to making our marriage work anymore. I'm just hurting and lonely and I'm desperate for change.
I also sent an email thanking my spouse for being supportive when typically he hasn't. I needed him to know I value the little changes I see.
I am starting this chalenge today. I have bwwn married for 6 years now, but I feel that we never have been happy. at least from my husband point of view. I am really hoping that we gonna make progress with that, I have tried to many things.
Oh My Goodness!!! I miss my sweet sweet husband!!! And this Love Dare is so important to me!!! I have to make some serious positive changes for him and with him.
I'm trying to save my marriage. I have done my husband so wrong and I have turned my life back over to God. I'm hoping in praying and trying these things I can fireproof my marriage.
just watched the movie "Fireproof" and ready to start again for what seems to be the 10th time at least. After 21 years, I can't stop trying to save my marriage.
I'm gonna try this to save our relationship. I know it won't be easy to win back my husband but I am trusting that God is doing something and this would help me not only to fix us but also to fix my eyes with God.
I was really worried that neither one of us was going to be able to do this one. but we did and it was nice can't remember when we had a day like we did.
I just want to save my relationship with my future bride while moving closer to god she is my best friend i would be lost without her
I just want to save my relationship with my future bride wwhile moving closer to god
i am doing this because I believe my purpose in life was to support my wife and make her burdens less. I feel Satan pulls hard against us and puts hatred in her heart for me
I'm doing this because I'm willing to do ANYTHING to save my marriage at this point!! God's got Chris & I, he put us together for a reason...💜
Lord teach me to live your love. let me learn at the foot of the cross.
We aren't having any problems within our relationship. But I still want to do things according to God's Word. I pray this brings us closer to each other & closer to God also. Should I tell him I'm doing this?
I'm trying this because a friend recommended it to me. I'm terrified of trying because I don't know if I can even call myself a Christian anymore. But I was told to hold onto hope, so I'm giving it a shot.
this part was easy for me. it seemed for a moment it helped. until bed time when even though we were in the same bed we were complete strangers.
Starting today and my sister in the Lord will keep me accountable
asked if i could have a dr. pepper and was told i got you a monster. i had to keep my mouth shut cause im the one who paid for it.
God there's too many thing's I can not control please take it all out of my hands it's too much to deal with anymore.
Lord, today I started this journey because I don't want to loose my wife. It's been 25 years of ups and downs, I am still learning this art of marriage.
It's time to give this dare another chance.
I tend to want to do everything a certain way and I critique more than I should even when he is doing an amazing job. I'm working on pointing out more positive than negative.
so alot of my problem is I take offense to alot of things my fiance says I believe these will really help out our relationship so he will finally feel comfortable to get married
it's hard but I'm allowing God control of my behavior and actions today
Easy, but painful. It's like throwing your prize roses under a stampede of bulls. Going to bed early so I can call this a day. Patience is good. <3
Probably the hardest first step to take because so much damage is done, and the work to heal is starting. But so far, it's helped by making me choose my words carefully. I can't change others, only myself and acknowledge what I have done wrong!
As i have failed to keep devoted to the process. Its like Antibiotics. You think you feel better so you stop halfway taking the meds. I have broken and it pushed through to my wife. And she has no more fight left in her for us
I'm doing this as a last resort for my marriage. My husband makes me feel he doesn't want to be around me anymore but yet when I ask him if he even wants me or our marriage he says I'm talking stupid. I pray this will help.
I'm doing this 40-day challenge to get my wife back I wasn't fully committed to her I was doing bad things and I scream and holler at her when I don't get my way
I'm starting this journey today but I am concerned that my trust in my husband has been broken too many times.
this made our day alot better. and made me feel better about my self to.
my wife desided to join the chalkenge and we can together win this .
I am starting today
So here I am day one. my wife usually says the negative things and I walk away.. this may not be the answer but at least I will be aware of my part today.
my marriage has all but ended completely this is my last straw in hopes that he will come home to me i need to learn to be a better wife and mother so any adivise would help thank you all
this is is harder than i thought.
it's always best to keep a PMA (positive mental attitude)
This is an easy step for me to complete. However I am nervous about future steps because I'm not sure that I can rid my mind of all the resentment I have towards him.
I'm holding my tongue in a rude way. I'm trying to say nothing negative, but letting him know my feelings. Should I not share my feelings?
It's been hard to stay positive internally when my wife says she doesn't want to be in the marriage. But I pray God would change me, and save my marriage.
I really wish my husband would do the Love Dare with me, but I will not push him.
its been easy to be positive and keep my thoughts focused. Gods been helping me through it and have applied this dare everyday and intend to continue that im on day 5 now.
Absolutely right about tht! bcuz sometimes words cut deeper than any knife
I'm starting today I hope this is the same version as the original copy I'm trying to save money but I recognize these words from the movie Fireproof. I don't know if this will work to savey marriage or not.
so, I literally had to wait 3 days to start Love Dare 1. Well it's completed. It was challenging not to not say anything, along with trying to walk away. at least, me doing that stuff, it help our relationship for the day so I'm thankful for that.
I have tried this in the past when all was lost it seemed and it worked. right now we are struggling. A lot of it is a deminding jobs, not much time together, and 2 babies and one older kiddo.
it took me 2 days to complete day 1. I think i have it going now
Well today is the first day of the dare for me. How do I do this when it doesn't seem like his heart is here anymore? Itseems like he'd rather live the wild life and not have responsibilities And I'm trying to b strong for our family.
I have been trying so hard to forgive my husband for cheating for the past two years, how do I forget and forgive him.
this is very hard for me I just started this love dare today. I'm bad for over thinking things and assuming the worst so my temper gets away from me. but so far so good today.
we have been hanging on by a thread for months now. I'm willing to try absolutely anything. we need prayers y'all!
I usually have no patience and I am quick to administer angry toward my husband. I was fixing to give up but a friend told me about this challenge and wanted me to give it a try. So here I am and I'm on day one and it's going good so far.
Day 1.Things have been AWFUL! He's so cruel&his gf sent me his texts. last night I decided I was done then Abba told me to see&love him like He does and not give up. So, I'm starting the love dare secretly.
today is my first day. I was an idiot and cheated on my wife and for the past few years has been very rocky with us. I hope I can show her how much I love her. We are on the doorstep of a possible divorce. pray for me
We did it, we made it to day 2! The 1st attempt @ day 1 went well, but the hubby said he felt he had said something negative to me & wanted to do day 1 again, to be sure to get it right. I feel like that is definitely a great sign!
Sometimes I am quick to anger,and it brings us to a worse situation. May God help me to be patient and stay positive.
Well today is my first day on the dare. I'm going to b doing it alone, as myhusband doesn't live with me. He's living his own wild n crazy life while I'm taking care of our kids alone. Please pray for us.
Marriage is.. a lot. Marriage is.. not easy. Marriage is.. always a work in progress. Marriage is.. teamwork. Marriage is.. having your spouses back. Marriage is.. being honest, & trusting.
praying for you both!
Please pray for my wife and I, pray that she let's me do this for her and for our marriage
its easy to say nothing if the person you love isn't here.
Who's been doing the love dare for years?
how do I bring up doing this together? my husband wants nothing to do with religion, which is one thing I think is drawing me away. but he won't do counseling, and I think this would help us alot more if we did this together.
I didn't realize how negatively I speak sometimes. I feel embarrassed and mean. Day 1 was not difficult to complete. I'm excited to document our journey to a healthier and happier love.
Ronnie did really well with this today. Me not so much.
Ronnie did really well with this today. me not so much.
honestly first step was a hard one. I have so many unresolved issues with him they build and i was to explode. But i didnt...
I'll try, it feels like we are both giving up on each other. I want it to happen ❤️🙏
i cheated on the love of my life. I dont want our kids going through what I did. I made a mistake. trying to convince him I'm still in love with him is the tricky part. please pray for us. the devil will not win.
it is day one and so far so good. we've been married for almost 17 years and we're trying to make it work. the hardest part is going to be learning to leave the past in the past but learn from it but still trust and leave it there
i tried to keep calm and just say to him that he must listen to what I said, before going into my throut.
I failed day 1. I yelled and was so mean.
I don't know what else to do. I will devote myself to this and pray God restores my marriage. Please pray for us (A and M)
Lord, help us all through this. We need you!
I was moody but my husband held his tongue
When the storm rages, JUST STAND!
With today being the first day of lent, and we are getting married in almost 4 months. I wanted to take this time for us to deepen our love before sleeve started our married journey!
Today being the beginning of Lent I would like to start this journey of a deeper love for my husband. Love is not just something that happens but it is made of our words and actions....I would like to love him better than ever before 💓
tried really hard to be patient and kind. not just with my husband but work my children as well. it won't well.
today is day 1. Our relationship is basically past fixing but I am trusting God and going to trust that he will help if it's meant to be
hi this is my attempt to fix what I have broken i dont know if I will be able to do that but I can try...
today I did no harm
Today is the first day. I'm trying this... I see, I'm the problem in our relationship. I dont know how to love him or maybe anything correctly. I'm extremely hopeful this will help me grow and move forward in our love for each other and the Lord.
Its my second time to try this, the first time i failed on the way, my husband has cheated on me so many times and he tells me he can't control it so I either learn to live with it or we separate. I need God's grace
Today is my day one. Marriage is not easy at all, its been tough.My prayer is that I love my husband the word of God proclaims and let God fix the rest about him and I
My husband isn't perfect and he has failed me more than once but I want our marriage to work and I am praying this helps us through these times. its been hard. he has hurt me so much but I am still hopefully that he will see I am worth it
today went great.. we trying this
I have broken my wife's trust a few times already now and I'm scared to death to lose her. I never cheated but went behind her back about her past before I was even in the picture. I need prayer
Lord, please grant me the strength today with my husband who is leaning towards divorce. he is just lost and thinks marriage counseling will be a giant fight. I am asking for prayers for my family and for my husband's heart to be opened❤❤
Don't GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!!!! We CAN DO THIS, DON'T SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE, THANK YOU FATHER FOR YOUR GRACE!!!!!!
I've betrayed my wife's trust ,please help us to return to the loving trust we once had
I achieved this. But need prayer
my husband wants a divorce. please pray for Ann and Jeff. I am starting this today
I am an over talker so this is hard but I trust by God it can bring Him glory
I want to start this tomorrow. my husband and I arent to the point of having a lot of problems I know that there are somechanges that I need to make. I am hoping this can help us connect more then what we have been.
after 16 years my husband wants a divorce. I have made some pretty unforgivable mistakes that he has forgiven but the trust is gone. please pray for restoration of our marriage and for him to trust me again
i am starting tomorrow i hope and pray that this will work. Me and my wife have been having problems for almost 3 months. She dont rouch me, kiss me, show any type of love toward me, and she dont tell me ahe loves me anymore.
Tomorrow will be day one. my husband is my amazing person but our marriage is not perfect.. we both need help. We have been watching only christian movies and making a commitment to spend more time with Christ.
I'm praying this helps save my relationship and show him that he is worthy of so much more than he gives himself credit for.
today is day 1 i really hope this helps we have both made mistakes but i love him. he is so angry here lately. not sure what else to do
Restarting this Dare again....not really sure what it will accomplish as my wife didnt acknowledge my efforts first round. still pushing for me to move out.
I finally made it to day 5 and we had a fight. My husband asked why we were even married. I saw nothing but Satan talking at that point. This is such a huge attack but I am not done fighting.
REALIZE, it was FINISHED on the CROSS!!!!!
Satan doesn't have ENOUGH demons to hold US back🕊💥
Today was one of the hardest days we have had in a long time. my husband asked for a divorce. I agreed that we haven't been happy for a long time, and with the infidelity in our marriage, it has been very difficult to make things work.
Feel like today was a okay day... We did not have much conversation except when he goylt home... Hope these next challenges I will see a change for good
Today is the day I start.
This was so hard because all I have been doing is crying and trying to understand why this is happening and why he won't give me an opportunity to make things better and show him change.
I lost control over my emotions tonight as i snapped at Ryno. we bathed together and he referred to my breast and tummy, that he will not pay for something another man may have etc. just explained in short. 😥
Today I begin my journey to rebuild/build a foundation with my wife. I did so many things wrong in my marriage. She said that we are too far gone but in my heart I don't believe there is such a thing if we both let God lead us.
Daar was geleenthede wa ek kon negative wees toe ons verskil het. ek het gekies om stil te bly. En soos ek tik kon ek nie eers onthou wat die verskil was nie, so ja dit sou onnodig wees om negative te wees.
Really need this dare challenge
me and my husband have been fighting the last couple of days now. I tried to watch my tongue but at times I just don't think before I speak. I blame him for a lot of our problems. I always throw up his past and I can't seem to move pass it.
Day one for the fourth time now after big fight this morning. made it to day 4. Not going to give up and let Satan win this fight. Starting over and trying again.
I have tried to get my husband to do this with me. He won't. He has wanted a divorce for 3 yrs now and I have been on this roller coaster, he loves me today, he can't stand me next day, everyday is wondering when he really will walk out.
I have struggled with patience for sure. It wasn't the lesson I wanted but it surely was the one I needed.
I am trying to hang on and fight for my marriage when my husband is ready to leave. He told me 3 years ago he wanted a divorce and since then, I have been on this emotional roller coaster. This year we will be married 9 years.
weve been through so much already We had a rough patch cause I felt like he didn't want a future with me He told me he didn't want to marry me because I can't stay by his side so I'm here today in hope for a great future with the love of my life.
The definition of AMAZING is FILLED WITH ASTONISHMENT AND WONDER, that's what God THINKS ABOUT YOU!!!!!
Ive been on day 1 for a minute! ill stay on this step until I learn to keep MY MOUTH SHUT, it AINT easy being cheesy💥
iIt was hard especially in the evening when we're borh tired but I managed to do it!
This is the 4th or 5th time I have tried to fulfill my cup and grow with my wife. This is hard when sabotage is right there and knowingly doing things that make someone question the fact about staying true.
we both were postive and both had nothing negative to say to each other today!
this is the third start. in less than a week. but I will keep trying because I have something to fight for.
My husband was diagnosed with MDD 4 years ago. 2 months ago, he wants divorce & that I am one of the many causes of his MDD. His psychiatrist & friends tells me that i should keep my marriage.
I feel like giving up but I pray this works 🙏❤️... We been together almost 11 years married almost 6... I am praying for the strength and patience to make it through.
I have started this today to save my marriage of 24 years . My wife is talking divorce and i am going to do everything in my power to win her trust and love back She doesn't know I'm doing this , i hope it works
We have been married for 1 yr tomorrow. and Yesterday he told me he wanted a divorce. Im broken. I have read the love dare and Im going to try it. please keep us in your prayers.
We have been married for 1 yr tomorrow. and Yesterday he told me he wanted a divorce. Im broken. I have read the love dare and Im goingbto try it. pleade keep us in your prayers.
YOU DONT HAVE ANY MORE NAILS HOMIE!
This spirit realm is tough, I CANT keep being ignorant to this reality💥 Satan must have FORGOTTEN, when they put my boy Jesus on that tree, THOSE WERE THE ONLY NAILS!!!!!
back at day one praying God dose something for my marriage. my husband yells and gets mad always yelling at me wen I try to talk to him at all .controlling my anger in situations when I feel like a punching bag trying to chose to not say anything
i start my fasting today and finally my day 1 completed after so many days restart not an easy task but will keep it on
Day 1 was pretty easy. My husband is going to do it with me. We don't fight but there are trust issues because of messages to other women. He says that he wants to try and we both agreed to it. I know that not every day will be easy.
Just recently got into religion at the age of 23. Trying everything to fix my marriage of 4 years. A coworker recommended the love dare. So imma try this with out my wife knowing. Day one starts tomorrow. Wish me luck
so i started this journey yesterday and have already had to restart twice. this is not going to be easy but nothing worthwhile ever is.
my husband and I are still living together. I'm starting this cause I don't want to live with out him. he is not sure what he wants. I'm in so much pain.
got to day four had a bad fight starting over praying for strength
Sending 💕 to everyone struggling..
me amd my husband have been separated for almost 3 weeks . he is being so cold to me its going to be hard but I am going to try the love dare
I was able to accomplish this today. mostly because he stayed in a separate room when we were both home. I offered him the TV in the room I was in but he declined. I guess it's a win even though we weren't around each other to say negative things.
day 4 of day 1 still failed :(
day 1 hope in saving 4 years with partner after indefinitely. what made us fall SO in love how great we are&how our forever&always was you&me-so we can heal&recover. he doesn't know God shared this with him in hopes this saves us. Come on day #1 :)
Recently I have had complications with my wife. This perhaps on of the main problems I have...... day by day. I pray that God sees me and her through.
day 3 of day 1 ... I had no idea how hard it would be to not say anything negative, we have always been a very sarcastic, bantering kind of couple. ugh. #ithinkican
this is a day to day thing I always hold my tongue but my husband always keeps me happy usually but when he upsets me I just clam up. I am excited to move to a new day.
I chose to start this challenge in efforts to save our marriage. I tried everything I could possibly think of. I love my husband, and I pray that this challenge really helps to solve what is breaking us. Good luck to everyone else as well.
I understand why saying nothing negative is wise, however, it seems that not speaking for 24 hours is just as detrimental to a relationship as saying something negative. If I speak it seems that the tone is perceived incorrectly.
Patience is not about waiting but choosing to not be offended, choosing not to be affected because you know what the word of God says not only about you but your husband.
(part 3) do I fight to save this marriage? if I am suffering in it? I know I have my faults but I can take this
(part 2) and does on dating (porn) sites. I don't want a marriage like that. it breaks me every single time. and get told that it's my fault
Was going to start this challenge over but idk if I should fight for this marriage ...my husband looks at every woman that passes on the street (part 1)
I'm trying it again always fail about day 3 or 4 before the buttons are pushed to the max
I start this journey and hope this work. My fiance is ignoring me for days.. I need prayers please. I will continue with this challange... I really love him...
Starting the dare on my partner. Hope is to do it continually until our 10th year anniversary which is a long time from now. Excited.
Be quick to listen slow to speak slow to get angry
i havent has my phone till today. back at it
I challenge myself, to prove to myself I am really that loving person that I believe I am and that I truly did everything I could, gave it all.
It may be simple to some but for me its tough. i want so much to stand up for myself. My sppuse has ways of intimidating me. His anxiety has taken my voice.
So hard. I failed at this today. I will try again tomorrow.
I've been on step three for a week (broke as hell). What the hell do I do now?
This is going to be a very difficult journey for me, but I love her enough to continue on. Here we go.
First time I've ever had a good reason in my arms to do this love dare.
day one complet..gueid me my lord God
this will be hard we are in the mist of a 20 year communication battle- we don't hear each other...
I've been very impatient with my wife over the past years, also when I knew she had a tough time. I'm committed to changing my attitude and become more loving. Good luck to everybody staying this journey today!
back to 1... he make it so hart he breaking me with words and say our roads must split apart but im not giving up on love dare im gonna keep trying.. lets see how its gose again
My husband got the devotional book for me for Christmas. I thought I try out the app also.
My husband got the devotional book for Christmas. I thought I try out the app also.
I am checking out this app to see if it will work the way I want it to.
This was hard! My husband keep saying hurtful things and when I didn't respond as normal he kept trying to provoke me but I bit my tongue.
I did not talk ill of my spouse.
I am staring this today. My husband says he wishes he had never met me. last night he said very hurtful things and I didn't even want to be close to him. so he told me that he is going to find someone else and I shouldn't blame him.
I have finished my 40th day yesterday and I can see a small breakthrough to our relationship. I made a commitment to do it again for the 2nd time and today this is my Day 1. I love Jesus so much and I love my wife as well.
I love you Maria
I will create beauty in the lives of others.
I am not currently married to the guy I am with. Our journey together started April 28th 2020. We lost a baby on August 24th 2020. That has effected our relationship. I am hoping tomend what got broken when we lost our son.
still trying. i am beginning again here at day 1. realizing more now about this dare, also about myself. and what i think are boundaries.
step one....... (sadly it appears I have so many faults in my "love".).... smh..... challenge accepted .
Day 1 - my fiance discussed with me how he spoke about me to his mother, unloving things. it hurts me alot. I held my tongue and said nothing back. I'm hurting inside trying my very best not to even talk about it anymore
so I'm restarting this challenge again on day 1... I hope I make it through today because I feel lost and I'm ready to leave
i am out of ideas.married for 12 yrs. 3 kids. our marrige is in trouble.i want to leave! last night i discovered he watched (pornography)while i was away for a week. i feel hurt. he says my fault he is this way.
I'm in a 6 yr realtionship where he's ready to walk away from our family we made together im terrified and need help. I'm praying this will help more than anything. but what do I do after day 40? do I restart from day 1?
I am going to try this love dare thing.
I'm not sure this will work. Or anything for that fact. We're trying to fix a marriage where my husband committed adulrty. And I'm having a hard time forgiving and forgetting.
i asked him to sign the divorce papers or be my husband and pray before he answers .he said its hard.its been weighing on him.hell pray hard.he cant do it alone .12.27.20
Its not just for marriages. I've had a rough relationship and I've said and done a lot of things that could have destroyed my relationship. I just rededicated my life to Christ so I'm praying that with His guidance.
Its nit just for marriages. I've had a rough relationship and I've said and done a lot of things that could have destroyed my relationship. I just rededicated my life to Christ so I'm praying that with His guidance.
I still believe in love even though I'm crying as I write this. My wife dont speak to me,my kids dont speak to me.my wife went to my daughters for Christmas and left me alone.she didn't even tell me she was going this is tough, I will try
I was hard. this is a big issue with us. we get very emotional and spat out things
My wife and I had a rough year we split up and stopped talking for a while. We got back in touch and she asked me to download this and i did i hope it works on getting her back. I love my wife very much!
I've reset day1 often. Going to be 15 years soon. This year's by far the hardest. He continuously tells me he's trying. It's so hard when you see most of his time and energy going to other ppl. I keep reminding myself, he's trying.
well I struggle with this everyday because my wife doesn't do anything around the house cleaning wise but I Know I need to work on this so how do I make this work please help
well day one was yesterday I may have destroyed everything the other day but I am going to put my heart into this. today was easy since we are not living together. i hope it makes me a better man if it works for our relationship or not.
I must say this has been my weakness from the time I started dating my guy. No more excuses for today I choose to walk in love by the grace of God.
I can't wait to get married to my man
so true
I have been through a rough first year in marriage. Most nights I want to give up but something in me keeps me holding on. I need strength and patience. Pray for me.
well here it goes, I saw this on that movie fireproof I think. anyways im glad I found it because I know I need to work on my marriage and maybe it will encourage my husband to work on it as well.
My wife says she's been walking on eggshells around me because I'm insecure, and moved out a month ago. I realize I need to change myself and am starting this challenge to save my marriage.
My husband is no longer interested in being married to me.He has had 2 relationships and is currently in the second one.This dare chose me.My mother in law told me to read this and follow it.Some days all I do is cry.I am in love with my husband.
Starting this over with genuine FAITH that God is working on me and my marriage and my husband. Please pray for us, as we have started the separation process, that God keeps us and our family together! Amen!
I love my spouse to death. she showed me love when I gave up on it , we are having a baby soon an I want to raise him right . my spouse has an unruly child that gets in between our relationship to split us up
this was very hard due to he always gets upset and says things he shouldn't but I still love him and held my tongue.
Off topic Is it possible you can make the option of getting a notification so you'll be remembered once on a while
I did this a long time ago and after a week a gave up. The tekst says they are starting with something not that difficult but i think this is the most difficult of all. Tommorow i wil start again. I have to learn this!!
he makes it hard this is now my third time starting this day over
my husband is skreeming on me for nothing
1st day. not sure I'll get to the second!
💕 this series'
Wife comes home, never drinks. But now she is and going dancing. I feel helpless. Shaking dont know what to do
this one is difficult when he always tells me what I've done wrong
Hi i am starting today, but my wife doesnt want to talk so i guess i will be sitting on this one for a while.
This was very difficult. I literally bite my tongue but I can see it felt better than seeing her cry. If this doesn't work my relationship won't be saved . Keep us in you guys prayers.
day1 complete. mild day but much needed. im not a guy that likes to bite my tongue. But I saw an impact made today when I actually listened before responding!
I'm starting again, wish me luck. As the Savior said: "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it."
almost through day 1. not been too hard. I did talk down on myself one time. that's as close to negativity as I got. God give us all strength.
Day 1: My patience are going to be put to a true test in this journey.. he asked if his new female roommate could stop by my house to pick up some of his things.
Started day 1 today. Ive not been a great husband or much of a friend over these last 7 yrs of 8. My wife has been wanting to leave but God has kept her in place. I began by acknowledging the pain I caused.
to the comment or question about being friends... I'm married and working to try to save what's left after only a few years but have no friends or anyone to talk to and could really use an extra mind/opinion. I am female btw
to the comment or question about being friends... I'm married and working to try to save what's left after only a few years but have no friends or anyone to talk to and could really use an extra mind/opinion
so will start this tomorrow. This marriage of 37 years is being attacked by Satan, and I will do my part to save it, in Jesus name..
Did day one, it wasn't hard, but what was hard is the fact that she still desired to leave me and the kids at home home and is spending the night with the woman she wants to leave me for... But by God's grace I will remain steadfast
so starting this again, couldn't complete beforehand and don't think I'll be able to this time but going to focus on day 1 until I master it.
I have a problem with holding my tongue and I have no patience what so ever.
anybody want to be friends. pretty. female? god bless
iam ready for this. I hope it helps me. please lord have mercy on me
women and men are different on thinking and communication. He must be a yes and no man. Short, sweet, and to the point. You like to talk about your feelings and his. He's not like that. He's a thinker.
feel like I have to keep starting day 1. I love my husband so much but it seems everyday is harder than before. How do I communicate my feelings and thoughts without it seeming as though I'm attacking him?
I bit n held my tounge today
this is great. can i get these texted To me daily?
Day 1 accomplished. It was easy though, we only see each other a few hrs a day. A start.
struggled. we havent been on the same page lately
Well today will be easy because we are not speaking with each other since yesterday. I am dying inside!
I'm trying (alone) to save my relationship of 8.5 yrs. I don't know if this will help but I'm desperate. I don't know what else to do. Tonight I start this. I pray I'm still here with him on Day 40 (and that we are in a better position).
My wife and I have been married 44 years by God's grace and love. I am starting this habit now so when I really start on January 1 I will have disciplined myself to succeed. I will love my wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her.
this day I've kept from writing my girlfriend
I dont know what love is.
Day 1done
Just finished with day 40 and starting over again. My wife and I enjoyed going through the days. She makes sure I do each day and let's me know when I miss up. Now here goes day one for the second time.
married for 14, god brought us back as one.after a two years separation. it's a struggle my past addiction to drugs . we're hoping we can trust again after applying these daily dares to our daily lives ~floirda~
my humor sometimes is sarcastic and it can sometimes come at the expense of those I love. lord I ask that you help me to use my humor in different ways that guard the heart of those I love especially my husband whom I love
my boyfriend and I have been together almost 10 months. I was getting depressed then I remembered watching the movie Fireproof. I originally thought I was being silly, but what did I have to lose at the time right.
We only been broke up a little over 2weeks & the same week we split up he was already with someone else. I still love him as stupid as I may be I'm going to give this a try. It is my fault we broke up, please say a prayer for us and our kids tonight!
So got to day 14 and couldn't complete it i figured I start over at day one again. Very challenging day with keeping my mouth shut. But those thoughts, which could be taken as negative at this time, is it ok to write them down in a jourfor later?
My BF and I are having problems, he started it with every1 important to him & he challenged me to do it. I was having difficulty with this one the first couple days and I prayed n prayed profusely & I feel God has strengthen me to be aBle to do so
my husband of 19 years has told me he is not in love with me anymore. he is talking to another women. we still love in the same house and we still talk. I think this is a phase he is going through. I love him and I believe we can work it out.
love
today I tried came home got her dental insurance . I went to drop off food but another guys vehicle was there .
I am struggling with this. I have been trying to do this for months now, but I feel completely over run and dominated and that I am not allowed to stand up for myself.
I am praying this 40 day challenge will help me with my anger
I have this Pride, it's hard to let go, I get angry easy when my pride is hurt. So, holding back, it's a hard one for me. I commit to this challenge and pray that God will help me to see it through. Noel
I'm not married. I have no idea everything a committed relationship entails on that level. I'm trying to save my girlfriend's and my courtship. Day 1 has been disheartening but hopefully I pray it's just the beginning.
I am starting this to save my relationship. I need to learn forgiveness and how to trust him again. 😢
I applied this to my marriage and it works. God I pray that you will show me your will and guidance in patience with my wife not just today for this Love Dare challenge, but for all the days
Starting with this love dare today. i know God will make a way where there seems to be little hope. i justknow things will get better. I pray for the strenght to be obedient in this challenge and that I let God lead the way.
starting tbis challenge today. I am hoping it will strengthen my marriage.
I'm starting this challenge to try to fix my 5 year relationship with my youngest son's father, whome I dearly love and want to be with
my wife a ants a divorce but us settling for a separation. we both refuse to stay at our parents because we only own one hime
My first day starting on this journey. Now I'm trying to rekindle my marriage after 19 years. fingers crossed this is what works.. Not sure that my Hubby is as interested
starting out on this journey not knowing if it will work or not. I know I have not been the greatest husband and a terrible leader of the household. but I have to try as I do love my wife.
I have noticed I have begun to feel some resentment and frustration toward my husband.... hopefully the Love Dare will help me grow toward Christ again and love my husband with a Christlike love again.
this one actually maybe hard for me im a nag especially when he is lazy and plays on his phone instead of being my help mate. but I will put my all in and keep praying
Starting on this road to showing my wife how I actually feel towards her and to deepen that love.
I have my faith in God that he can save my marriage. We are in a terrible situation right now. But nothing is impossible for him 🙏
I'm struggling. Hes hurt and moved out. Also said he can't tell me he loves me because hes hurt by me. I want our relationship. I dont want to loose us.
I'm trying my best. I don't want to be negative. I just want to discuss how things make me feel and how badly they hurt and attempt to find a resolution to get through it.
I am reading the comments after completing my love dare. God truly saved my marriage! I kept a journal I wrote each dare then followed it up with notes and prayers.
I was not negative I only said things nice and I listened to all she had to say when she told me her feelings
this one is easy for us both we never fight if we disagree we talk about it
Ater my husband and I hit a rough patch I suggested we start The Love Dare together. Tonight I sat down and started day one. Hes currently playing on his phone. I'm going to do my best to have patience and not "nag" him into starting his book.
How do you do this when your husband is conastantly harsh and angry at you? It's been so hard for the last week. He has been constantly rejecting me and my change in actions.
My happiness means more to my spouse then I had thought. So today I am prepared to verbally tell him everything he does that makes me happy. I will be focusing on the positive and not the negative.
my first day. he doesn't even know. I will be patient... jus today one day at a time. patients. no negative words.. no negative words
First day of the challenge: I was very excited about finding his app. It is a wonderful daily reminder of how love is put into action ❤️
Today is my first day. I'm excited to start this new journey. I've never been a church type person but I'm going to complete this for my family especially my wife. I guess what I'm trying to say is I want to be a better man.
how can you do this to gain a relationship with god when you don't want to with your significant other?
he says he wants out and we have been at this point more times than happy ones in our 3 short years.. I feel as all hope is lost but here I am trying one last time...for the shake of our kids to have a whole one home family..
I am trying to win back my ex husband. I am finding hope in this book
After 25 years of marriage I feel like Im living with my best friend more then my husband. I want to have a closer relationship with my him. So here I am.
Today is Day 1! ❤
Here we go. Ready for round 5!!! lol I want to be a better wife and mother. The only way to do that, is with God's word.
I struggled some because yesterday our counselor brought up hard questions. we're getting married in 6 weeks but she thinks we're suppressing each other. hes not suppressing me and the know issue I see is I learned to communicate with manipulation.
I am starting this love dare for the face time....I will keep you posted on how dare #1 goes
It took me some time to realize this. I am learning that my wife is like a flower if I water her she will bloom. She is enough and we are blessed to have each other.
Good day all, I am doing this for the first time, started day one and it is going good so far. I hope this will bring us closer together and bring back the trust.
We generally dont have much conflict and even when we do we normally talk in calm voices while hugging each other to deal with it. It seems to help is alot.
anyone here not married, but dating? or trying to date? I adore my bf but he says he's not emotionally invested as I am. I'm hoping this may help me take a step back and understand where we are going.

I didnt give in to any negativity today towards my spouse. showed nothing but love and focused on how I could make his day!
i will be starting this on Sunday. I nit only want a better relationship but a closer walk with Christ.
I didnt do too badly today. I did have to criticize a bit but I did it gently and lovingly, as a question. I told him I'd changed what he asked me to change so why does he get so upset when I question him.
I'm starting tomorrow. we have been married for 12 years next month. I am ready to have my husband back. he keeps pointing the finger. I think he is just going through something himself. I am willing and ready
yesterday was a true test of not saying anything negative. I made it with my husband and that's awesome
first day and last night we stayed in a hotel with a Jacuzzi and its been great ..i love my girl and and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make things work and go from there..loved the movie.
I know that I can be critical. II've been living in a sexless marriage for 10 years. in the last year all intimacy has disappeared. please lord, I want my husband back.
This was difficult because of his attitude. Yet, somehow manage to do it.
I did good today and started positive we were even able to have a talk that needed to done so many years ago.
hi...7 years ago my husband did the love dare on me..i left....he cheated...but i left because 7 years he cheated..he asked me back after 2yr separated. last ditch effort my 1st day begins tomorrow... .praying for you all🙏
starting day 1 ! Becoming a better wife for my Husband .. A Godly wife .. please pray because this will in noway be easy !
He needed space to get things done today, I wanted his time and attention, but was patient instead. his affection came 10 fold, just later than I wanted. it was worth the wait.
Lord, it is hard to not criticize. I must watch how critical my heart is, not just my mou
I did ok for day 1, I am a very positive person in general
Lord help me fix my marriage Lord fix me and fix him as well father God is Jesus name AMEN
going to try this whole heartedly.
My wife and I have been married 16 years. We have seen the movie before. I thought we were fire proof until she left. Now I need to do this for us both!
lord today I will not say anything negative to my spouse
LPlease pray for my fiance and I. Im beginning to do what Christ wants me to and satan is tearitearing us apart.
please pray for my marriage to get bettering trying this because I want my marriage to work
I have tried the love dare before, but my heart was not in it. Today I am a new person and ready to give. please pray for me as I go forward on this journey for strength to endure and patience in progress, and for emotional healing.
I'm trying to save my marriage. please pray for us.
day one is kinda hard to do but my love for my partner is enough to make me try my best
after seeing the movie fireproof and what it had done for thier marriage i am excited to see what it can do for my on again off again relationship of almost 3 years!
hard to we can't really see each other but we still message
It was kinda hard today, but I took a breath, prayed, & tried my best to be gentle & kind...
I am not spoiling it by looking until the mornings each day. Thank you Lord for my husband! Thank you for always providing what I need, even when I doubt you! Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Love Fireproof, just hope it works... Trying this tomorrow, wish me luck!!
Only speak kind words. Better to say nothing at all then something I will regret later.
Starting the Love Dare... I'm trying to save my marriage.
day one is really hard for me to get. I have done day 2 and day 3 and today I get to do day 4 which is super simple. but day 1 is so hard for me and I really Really try everyday. any advice?
I watched Fireproof again tonight after a rough situation with my partner. Im going to give this a shot until I can get the actual book.
No negative comments.
Today I start the love dare. It has been years since I last attempted but its a decision I've made again to try save my marriage.I have started with me and to resolve me for my wife.
I have accused my wife of cheating for the first time in our Marriage and she has basically decided to give up. I've tried to say sorry and explained that I over reacted. but to no success what do I do. Will the love dare work
so if you mess up do you start over or just repeate that day tomorrow. like day 1 is be kind and don't say anything ugly. if i mess up do I start with day 1 again tomorrow? and if I mess up at like day 5 do I repeat day 5 or atart back at day 1
how do u move on from your husband telling you that he has no and never had romantic feelings towards you. love on a dear friend level and commitment. we have been married 9 yrs ! i cant give up on us
He is the BOSS now apparently; whereas previously we would agree and be on the same page. Now it seems we are been ripped apart.
Day 1 - is challenging already.. A month ago hubby made a decision by himself that his 'problem adult daughter' would be moving in with us. This is affecting our once happy home and we (me + my kids) must just accept
i am on day one of this today, trying to fix and save my marriage, how can you get trust back when it has been lost. any advice or marriage wisdom to help put in to fet with also doing this challenge. i am a beliver in christ
We arw both in active addiction and trying to get clean. I qanr to aave my marriage more than anything in rhis world. i dont want to loose her to m6 flaws my addictions.
I started this because me and my husband needs God in our lives and plus our marriage is still in the honeymoon stage so I figured this would be a place to start.
found out my husband cheated on me me while on tour. today I moved back into our home, cleaned our home, and made his favorite meal. He said thank you. stayed positive
I have been feeling to do the 40 dare with me and my husband we all need god in our lives
I cheated before we got married and attempted to try and cheat after we got married. I feel like I've lost myself and are on the verge of losing my marriage. I struggle with the anger and I'm not sure I have forgiven myself.
I am starting this because I feel so broken. I recently found out that my husband cheated. I want to do the Christian thing and forgive him but I'm finding it hard. I feel like we're on the brink of divorce and I want to try one that thing
I am on my second divorce. I tried this with my 2nd husband. but he left anyway. he left for another woman. I am feeling super discouraged. I am curious on thoughts about doing this in a committed unmarried relationship.
If you aren't 100% sure of if you are going to heaven please watch the video. God is a just and we have all hurt people in one way or another, but praise God He paid for our sins. https://youtu.be/qDI-VMydFlM
I'm starting this cause my husband is done and ready to walk out the door. He says my mouth is hurtful and he can't do it anymore. I'm praying I still have time to fix this before its too late.
Day 1 - today was alright. I started this journey around 10am, after some tension in the morning. We didn't have another argument but i did have to bite my lips a few times. I realise I don't listen to him sometimes, but snap at him.
My husband and I watched this movie years ago. neither of us is religious and the acting is bad, but we liked this movie. Over the years I have grown resentful. I am starting this in secret to see if it can help our deteriorating marriage.
15 years i have gotten it all wrong i have said hurtful evil things to her cause of my and insecurities. My marriage is on the rocks she said she has no feelings and she wants to be alone. I talked to her and practice patients i pray there is hope
boy I am the most impatient person there is
I really need to work on this as well as my husband
sooo hard not to and I shouldn't be that way Jason really is a good man idk whats wrong with me Lord help me and guide me please Amen
First day was amazing!!!!! No fighting!!!
I think I've experienced every type of hurt, a wife can experience. I have become angry/bitter to get through the pain. This is for me, to hopefully remove the wall I've put up around me. I don't like who I've become...I need the old me back!
Day 1... Yesterday Before I started I said hurtful things... But when I realized I was hurting her... It hurt me That's when I started the love dare. And even when I was tempted to... I kept my cool
So I'm starting this tomorrow again, I have never gotten past day 14. I have made a commitment to myself and the Lord to better myself for myself and those around me and feel my partner deserves an even more
I said I am trying this as a least ditch effort when I already know there's only doing or Not doing.
I trying this by the advice of my father. I'm trying to save my marriage. ive hurt my wife so many times that I've lost track. I've emotionally cheated twice on her. And now I'm put myself and my marriage in the lords hands.
I'm trying this to save my marriage, trusting God has a plan! This will be my last ditch effort at seeing my husband through love and getting through lots of hurt and anger in our relationship.
well, today, I start again. I want to complete the date this time. I want to prove that my marriage is worth it.
I'm doing this by myself and for myself, my gf left me. She is 7 months pregnant and I had controlling issues insulting and anger so I'm doing to hopefully show her I can change for the better!!!!
I've never been a very patient man, I've been married to the most amazing woman in the world, and have hurt her so many times due to my impatience, this has definitely been a trying thing, but with God's help, it has been possible
This is so true
while this dare seems fairly easy, I found myself thinking a lot about the type of language I use when talking to my wife. I never realized how hurtful it can be till now
It was our 3rd year anniversary, couldn't leave because of lockdown but as long as Im with you, favorite day of my year.
