Day 5 "hit pause"

Ok I know what the title looks like but just let me get to that, Today is Day 5 of our 40 day Dare to each other that by the end of this the both of us will be even better then when we first fell in love! I’m not going to give you an explanation of what today’s dare is because, This morning I overheard Ash talking to someone about the book "The Love Dare" and she had mentioned that maybe we should kind of off set it or one of us take a break from going to the next days dare for like a week or so. And I got to thinking because she is right if the both of us are on the same day every day of this challenge then we really are not getting the full effect of what WE want out of it. Don’t get me wrong there has been a MAJOR change in the both of us the past 4 days, and by taking a break for a week does not by any means mean completely stop. It just means keep repeating the steps you have learned all ready! With the exception of buying her something "just to let her know I thought of her" lol I would go broke. Going back a little bit to the major changes in our home. Ash and I have done a big U-turn, I can’t speak for her but I can tell you I feel much better mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I can look at her and see it in her eyes that when I make the small gestures or when she does the littlest thing that makes me happy. It makes her and I feel truly great in our relationship. So for the next week I am going to put the book down and continue with the first 4 days just so we both are not expecting the same thing every day, that way we will get the most out of this.

We watched the movie that "The Love Dare" is based off of called "Fireproof", the acting wasn’t the greatest but it really did hit the points that I was feeling. Which made me feel really weird at times but ultimately it was a great movie. What is real funny about the movie is it refers to the book allot, but there was no book until after the movie came out. Tons of people were wondering where they could find this book but it was no where to be found, finally 2 marriage counselors got together and wrote it and now it is the book that I have ever read! Any way back to the movie. In the movie the book was actually a hand written journal and handed down from father to son. I don’t want to ruin the rest of the movie for you so I'm going to stop there. If you are having troubles in your relationship or just want to make it that much better WE recommend getting the book and watching the movie!

Ok I told you I wasn’t going to explain day 5's dare but I will give you the quote for today.
"He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be reckoned a curse to him"- Proverbs 27:14
Without giving too much away, what it is talking about is being rude amongst other things that I will get to next week (on this topic). Well that should do it for today so without further ado we shall see each other tomorrow.
