Kindness is love in action

Yesterday was day 2. The dare was to do something kind for your spouse and of course continue on with dare #1. I stayed up until 3 am working on steves English paper for him. Which I know he truly did appreciate. I was going to get up and make him breakfast before he went to work, but I could not get myself out of bed at 430. Oh well isn't it the thought that counts. He of course was too busy to do anything kind, but he admits that and it wasn't just an excuse. So I guess I'll let him off the hook for this one day. Hopefully he'll do better on dare #3. I think so far throughout the first few chapters of the book I have learned a lot about myself...and hopefully good will come out of all this.

Love is Patient

So today was day one of the love dare. Me and Steve have decided to strengthen our marriage we are going to do the 40 day love dare. We bought the book and today was our first day. Our dare of the day was to demonstrate patience and not say anything negative to each other all day. And surprisingly I was successful (well Steve was too) But then again he is the patient one in our marriage so I knew he'd be alright on this one. If I learn nothing else during these next 40 days, today I learned that sometimes it's better to just say nothing. I'm going to try to bite my tongue more often and be a little more patient.

Now hopefully we'll be as successful on day two....
