But not right away. I think I have some more work to do on myself first. Feb 03, Adrienna rated it liked it. If you are married, and want your relationship to work out, this is the book to read.
It speaks about Love, how God views love, and oneness--togetherness--and unity. It is a forty-day journey to see your spouse for who they are, who they have become, and who you love the most underneath God's leadership. God is the third thread in a marriage, there is a difference between a marriage contract and covenant with God.
I take the covenant with God more so than marriage contract. I want to be married If you are married, and want your relationship to work out, this is the book to read.
I want to be married until death do us part. Oct 31, Will rated it did not like it Shelves: self-help , relationships. I wanted to like this book and I know no book has all the answers when it comes to all relationships because each relationship is unique. This book is also split in 40 days of advice However about halfway through until the end it turns into "how to be a doormat".
This becomes one big guilt trip and becomes very centered on men must always give in to thei I wanted to like this book and I know no book has all the answers when it comes to all relationships because each relationship is unique. This becomes one big guilt trip and becomes very centered on men must always give in to their wives In many cases it is clearly said that a husband must abandon all his wants, desires, hopes, and dreams in order to please his wife Look, I would do anything within reason for my wife.
In one of the final chapters this book lays out how that isn't enough Would I like to take my wife on a trip around the world, make it so that she never had to lift a finger again, or have everything she ever desired at the drop of a hat The final chapters confirmed my dislike for this book This book twists that phrase in a way that really irritated me. Two chapters go to the point of saying regardless of whether you're wife absolutely hates you, it is your mission to do whatever she says, whenever she says it I'm not in favor of divorce It showed me how one sided, blind, and potentially dangerous this book could be for some people who would read it and decide to stay in an abusive marriage because of it.
So in wrapping up this book says that's not only am I a failure I am a horrible person and sinner as a result. That's what the book says I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you are looking for ways to improve your marriage. This is a really great book. Although a lot of people I know had this book on their shelves, none of them had actually worked their way through it or even read the first page.
The reason? It's seen as a resource for when your relationship is in crisis. I felt like I didn't really need to do this book but it turned out I was wrong. It was very useful to have a challenge to complete. Some dares took longer to complete than others depending on my pride levels. I also really liked how simple and clear This is a really great book.
I also really liked how simple and clear it was written and yet woulxd cut straight to the heart. Since the focus is love, the lessons learnt here can also be applied in every relationship.
Try it. I dare you. May 25, Leon rated it it was amazing. Challenging book in terms of it urges you to look at issues and deal with them from a Christian view and biblically so. View all 3 comments. Oct 18, Britt B rated it really liked it. This started out as being something that Alex and I would read together before bed but with long distance it started being a just me thing.
It has valuable knowledge and insight and is something I would love to revisit once a year - to read it in its entirety or just to reference. I also would love the chance to reread it with Alex. The accompanying movie, Fireproof, really hit home for my wife and I.
We watched it together, and we saw ourselves in some of the scenes. After that, we worked through the 40 day Love Dare. We found that working through it together, on the same day, made things more difficult.
We both knew what "dare" the other person was on, and there was a sense of expectation that neither of us intended. I wonder where my present is? Sin does, indeed The accompanying movie, Fireproof, really hit home for my wife and I. Sin does, indeed, make you stupid. The book is clearly evangelical protestant, but there was really nothing that troubled me as a Catholic.
There is much good to add but nothing I would take away from the book. Work through the book day by day and really follow the dares. I especially liked the brief coverage of covenant in the last day of the forty. It meshes very well with the idea of covenant presented in good Old Testament studies, such as Dr. Feb 07, Sherrie Conkel rated it it was amazing. The movie "Fireproof" starring Kirk Cameron is excellent and will help you relationship immensely. It is very anointed and has moved even the toughest guys I know to tears at the end.
Very touching and inspirational. The book that the movie is based on is called "The Love Dare" and it takes a lot of dedication and discipline to do, but, well worth every bit of the effort.
I dare you! Jan 27, Harley rated it it was amazing. This book changed my life! A wonderful lesson in love. I read it in the hope of becoming the best wife to my husband and I got way more out of it than that. The descriptions of love as a choice and a commitment were beautifully portrayed with examples from the Bible. The biggest surprise was that somehow I was left feeling like before reading I mustn't have known the fullness of God's love for me. I have known God loves me for 25 years but something shifted as I read this and the reality hit me This book changed my life!
I have known God loves me for 25 years but something shifted as I read this and the reality hit me of just how great and real God's love is. Read it, it will blow your mind In a good way.
