My mom sent us a Valentine package and inside it was this book, "The Love Dare" and the movie Fireproof. I started reading the book and it is a 40 day guide on how to learn to really LOVE your spouse. To learn what LOVE really is. I am so excited about it and can't wait to watch the movie tonight with my Valentine :) I am starting today and today it teaches that love is patient.
a few thoughts from the book on patience:
"Love will inspire you to become a patient person. When you choose to be patient, you respond in a positive way to a negative situation. You are slow to anger."
"Patience, however, makes us wise. It doesn't rush to judgment but listens to what the other person is saying. Patience stands in the doorway where anger is clawing to burst in, but waits to see the whole picture before passing judgment."
Today's dare:
"Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart."
"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 then to say something you'll regret."
Thanks mom for this book and movie, I am excited about doing this and being a better wife and mother!!!! Wish me luck! or should I say patience :)

That is such a good movie.
This is so funny, Paul and I were feeling like a movie and went to the Red Box at Albertson's. We ended up renting FireProof, the whole time through the movie I was like this is totally going to say "Meet the Mormon's" at the end. Anyway good movie. I think I need the book.
what a great book!
