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.


 Now we come to that place where many other couples with children in the world are, convenience. I am not saying that we do not love each other, but our marriage is now comprised of just doing our best not to ruffle each others feathers in fear of the tension coming to the surface, because if there is one thing that men and women will always struggle to see eye to eye on it's Who Works Harder.

 The Love Dare Book was created by the Kendrick's, many of you may have seen the movie Fireproof which has it's plot centered around the concept of this book. It is a 40-day challenge to help husbands and wives understand and practice unconditional love. Each day you have a couple of pages to read that lead up to and explain the reasons for that day's dare. You then have your dare and a journal space to write down your progress for the day.

This is an amazing book for those of us who just need some reconditioning in the love department. I love my husband with an extreme intensity, I have just become so bitter by life's constant obstacles that I have trouble showing him more love than anger.
 I hope you chose to follow me on this journey, and even encourage you to think of taking the journey yourself.
Please keep in mind that I am new to this blog world, so this will definitely take some getting used to, constructive suggestions are greatly appreciated.
