Day 22 - Love is Faithful

Love is a choice, not a feeling. It is an initiated action, not a knee-jerk reaction. Choose today to be committed to love even if your spouse has lost most of their interest in receiving it. Say to them today in words similar to these, "I love you. Period. I choose to love you even if you don't love me in return."

I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the Lord. – Hosea 2:20

So we were just laying in bed, and I turned over and just told him... Levi, no matter what happens between us or in the world, I will always love you. He was like, I don't know where that came from, but I love you, too. It's funny how much just an "I love you" can make two people feel so connected. I think that in marriage, we kind of tend to forget to say it. That it is or should be implied. But just like in the beginning of a relationship, those "I love you"s are crucial.

Day 21 - Love is Satisfied in God

Be intentional today about making time to pray and read your Bible. Try reading a chapter out of Proverbs each day (there are thirty-one – a full month’s supply), or reading a chapter in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). As you do, immerse yourself in the love and promises God has for you. This will add to your growth as you walk with Him.

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. (Psalm 145:16)

So I'm blogging since I haven't in so long. But I have read the dares and done them, so I'm just writing here. I have been fairly good about doing this every day and making time, and let me tell you - It really has made a difference. I just really didn't realize that without God in our relationship, things aren't going to work. We can't fix it on our own when it's THAT broken.
