Today we offer the first two assignments in the Love Dare Challenge.  We will post two a day Monday through Friday.  If any of the challenges seem too much to do together – use Saturday and Sunday to divide them as needed.  We pray this will be a healthy, rewarding exercise for you.  If you would like to purchase the Love Dare book click here for ordering information.  Here is how God used this challenge to help one wife:

A thankful firefighter’s wife, December 3, 2008,
God used this book to restore my marriage
If you want to see your spouse the way God see them, then this book is for you. It taught me how to really love my husband a (New York City Firefighter) in a way I never knew how. No matter where your marriage is.. you can be newly married or be together for 50 years. Everyone can learn something great, wonderful and new from this book. It’s a easy read, filled with something different to look forward to each day. It proves that with God’s help we can make Love a beautiful choice every day, every minute and every second of the day. I challenge whoever reads this to take a leap of faith and I “Dare You” to read this book. Your life, your marriage will never be the same.
