The Love Dare....Fireproof your marriage

I've come across a great find this week from an unlikely source. I wasn't particularly surfing the web to find this info, I was simply trying to find some peace about something that has been making me sad and which I have no control over (my brother's 9 year marriage is in crisis mode with two little lives in the middle).

I went to one of my favorite websites to see who I might be able to help that day to cheer me up. (See http://www.wishuponahero.com/ - the caring people on this site are AMAZING) I don't know what made me do it, but I made my own wish....I wished for prayers for my nieces. Out of this wish, which was surprisingly granted with lightning speed and made me feel instantly better, I heard about a movie called "Fireproof". I haven't watched this movie, yet, but I definitely will....and with my husband.

It's a movie about saving a marriage. My marriage is fine, but I don't want to take anything for granted, so I will be taking on the challenge of the Love Dare myself. I told my brother about this movie and he put it in his NetFlix queue so I'm sure he'll get it by this weekend. I went to Borders last night and I saw they have the book "The Love Dare" out. I bought it and am going to mail it to my sister-in-law. I don't know if she will do the 40 day challenge called "the Love Dare", but I hope she does.

"The Love Dare personally leads you through daily devotionals, records your thoughts and experiences, and ends each day daring you to perform a simple act of love for your spouse. This 40-Day journey equips you to melt hardened, separated hearts into an enduring love that can withstand the flames of fear, pride and temptation. The Love Dare book will help you reinforce and enrich your marriage, earn back a love you thought was lost, and hear more about the One who not only designed unconditional, sacrificial love—He illustrated it."

Just found a site where you can purchase the book, if interested in taking the dare, for cheaper than Border's was selling it: http://thelovedarebook.com/.
