I wanted to share a comment that I received from Julie..
Stephanie,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.

The blessings keep coming every day as I read comments and see friends that have "dared to be dared" in their marriages..I love that Julie was inspired to be a the "help meet" her husband deserves and I quote "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"..WOW..good stuff! Thanks Julie for sharing and I hope your not embarrassed by my sharing your comment..but I felt it was to good to be tucked away in the comment section!

Stephanie,
No...I'm not embarassed...but I'm glad it encouraged, and I meant it. So glad that Dianna posted and pointed me over to participate in the 40 days. I am totally enjoying my man once again. DARING to love him in every way. God is good. Hugs to you and thank you again.
Ahh that was such a great comment from Julie! We all can learn so much from other women and it's great to hear encouragement along the way of marriage. I followed the love dare too but a quiet reader but THANK YOU too as I have learned alot along this process and is always nice to get re-focused in your marriage and see the beautiful things God has in store for us along this journey. Thanks Stephanie....
Thanks, Stephanie, for highlighting Julie's comment. I appreciated her honesty throughout this dare, along with the other ladies. It was definitely more fun and encouraging to do it together!
Just found your blog and enjoyed reading through some of the dares. Not enough time for them all but looks great!
