Day 1 -- Love is patient!

The book says:
 "Love is built on two pillars that best define what it is. Those pillars are patience and kindness. All other characteristics of love are extensions of these two attributes."

"When you choose to be patient, you respond in a positive way to a negative situation.You are slow to anger. Rather than being restless and demanding, love helps you settle down and begin extending mercy to those around you. Patience is where love meets wisdom. And every marriage needs that combination to stay healthy.
 Few of us do patience very well, and none of us do it naturally. But wise men and women will pursue it as an essential ingredient to their marriage relationships."

I resolve, to be better than before.

I have recently decided that above all else, I have to fix my marriage. I have attempted doing The Love Dare Book before, but outside obstacles always deter me from the task at hand.

 My husband and I used to flow very well, picking up where the other left off. He knew what his responsibilities were as I did mine, and then we had children! I became a full time mother and he became the sole provider. We have both grown a lot over the years, he is a very hard worker and I struggle every day to become a better mother and wife than the day before.
 But, somewhere along the way we lost sight of the fact that this marriage is still new and needs a lot of tending to. Before we knew it we were both living different lives, his was work where he got to meet new people on a daily basis, and mine was cleaning one mess just to find another, and meeting new people meant going to the grocery store just to get out of the house.
