Just checking in to say a BIG thank yo...Stephanie,<br /><br />Just checking in to say a BIG thank you for all of the work and effort and time you have taken to post EVERY day for us to participate in this wonderful exercise on Love and Marriage and Commitment. Sure can make a girl think...and I for one am grateful. It was hard sometimes because of my current circumstances, but hubby is flying back in for a whole week, so all the ones I could not do because he wasn't here...well...they will be accomplished this week. Looking forward to it. I shall continue to do this Dare for my marriage. I told Dianna that I was going to make my own personalized LOVE DARE booklet/journal to match my marriage specifically, and try to just keep the effort going. Selfishness to Selflessness..sounds like the formula for a Happily Ever After...And of course Releasing Expectations of any returns back to me...doing it simply because I know it is a GOOD thing. It is GOD thing. God will take care of me where any gaps occur on my husband's part unintentionally. After all, he's a man....different...NOT wrong.**The one thing that has left a large impression in my heart is that whatever little things my man does that rub me the wrong way...are rubbing on me for a reason..to CHANGE me. God wants me to change from the RUB. When I change, I think I will see a change in my man. God always works upside down from the way we do. :-) And I can certainly motivate, inspire, encourage, model and "helpmeet" him along the way. Whatever is CAUGHT by my example of love, will be extremely more profitable than what is poorly or wrongfully TAUGHT by my words or verbal pressure or nagging... yes?! Thanks so much again Stephanie. (had comp. technical problems lately and haven't left comments.) Hugs to you!! Joy and Happiness on your Marriage Journey.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503664045488972731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451183936000028354.post-26596576010608449312011-02-18T19:07:22.273-08:002011-02-18T19:07:22.273-08:00I kind of ran out of steam on the last dares, and ...I kind of ran out of steam on the last dares, and it was funny how never once did my husband realize that I had done even one! I know his focus is on his recovery and I have tried to respect that, but still....Anyway thanks for following through to the end, you def shine in this format!

Yes, it DOES make a difference even when things are going well. My husband and I have been in a less-stressful place after a few years of hard things, but even here, there's always more room for God's love to permeate deeper into our marriage covenant. I'd recommend this Dare for all marriages.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451183936000028354.post-79813002920565129392011-02-18T08:05:49.206-08:002011-02-18T08:05:49.206-08:00thanks anna! it was fun! yeah,,give it a whirl it ...thanks anna! it was fun! yeah,,give it a whirl it really makes a difference even when things are going well! lolThe Whispering Creek Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131452238012993898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451183936000028354.post-85759155837786155932011-02-18T00:05:38.429-08:002011-02-18T00:05:38.429-08:00Wow!
