OK, so I still haven't started this Love Dare thing

It has been almost a month and still no decision has been made (on my part) as to start the Love Dare 'project' on my own.
There was a very interesting development right after I commented.
My husband came home one night and before he had even changed his work clothes, I asked if he had a girlfriend.  Did that stun him?  Oh yeah.  He wanted to know why I would ask such a question so I gave him the reasons.
His response was a response I never expected.  He said he was so overwhelmed that I ever agreed to work on our marriage, that he was was content with that.  In his mind, if we were never intimate again, he would be content just knowing we were a family again.
So, do I need to do Love Dare?  Of course I do.  Everyone's marriage can stand a booster shot and get it back on track from the daily hum drum routine of work, kids, housework, yardwork, and on and on with all the trivial things we do.
Why can't our relationships be like they were when love was new?  I think God thinks it can or He wouldn't give people creative minds to come up with movies, books, etc., that want to help families.
God is all for families and anything we can do to keep our families together, it sure would make Him very happy.  Satan wants to divide and conquer, and what better way to do it than by getting into the middle of your family.
Well, Satan, put up your dukes, 'cause we aren't going to fall for your lying, cheating ways anymore.
Our weapons will be the whole  armor of God.

How about something you do together?
written by Chuck, October 01, 2009
As I read through your blog, I was thinking....Here is a man saying he was just glad to have the marriage again. At no time do you say anything that would indicate he is not willing to work together. So why not decide together what you can do for each other? How about reading the 5 Love Languages and identify what you both could use? Maybe the two of you could both get that book, agree to read a chapter every couple days and then agree to sit down together for 20-30 minutes twice a week to talk about the chapters. Talk about what you say for yourself, and what you thought the other might appreciate.
Maybe by the time you finish this book together, you could both indicate things you might like to work on, then use those bi-weekly sit downs to communicate with each other about how things are going.
You are both adults and it sounds like both of you want a stronger marriage and are willing to work on it. Perhaps the only reason you dont have what you want, is because you haven't asked. Which leads to to my final thought, "be careful what you ask for becuase you just might get it! " Ask about a stronger marriage, maybe get a stronger marriage...Ask about a girlfriend?!?!?!

Already have the book

I do have that book, and that sounds like something we could do together. Now, I just have to find it in the boxes I packed a year ago, and still haven't found a place to put half the stuff (junk) we moved!!
