The Love Dare

Amy sent David and me the movie Fireproof and the book that goes along with it: The Love Dare.

So, for the next 40 days I will be learning to understand and practice unconditional love. Here is today's challenge: love is patient.

1 Thessalonians 5:15 Seek that no one repays another evil with evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another.

"Patience is a choice to control your emotions rather than allowing you emotions to control you, and shows discretion instead of returning evil for evil" --The Love Dare

Instead of anger being our default emotion, let's practice patience. Patience brings an internal calm during an external storm. Can our spouses count on us to be patient and not quick to judgment or anger?

Activity for today: Practice patience toward your spouse and say nothing negative to your spouse today. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything.
