Do you feel like being suffocated in your relationship with your spouse? Do you feel like you are neglected? Do you feel like getting out of your marriage, thinking that it is the only way to solve your marital problems?
I dare you to seek and work out LOVE first....
Marriage is like a garden. What a beautiful garden it would be if 2 gardeners are willing to help out each other to maintain the beauty in their garden. One might pluck the roots that threaten to kill the beautiful flowers. The other might do the pruning necessary to gain more beautiful flowers. Sometimes, it's been beautiful and there seems to be no problem. But it still tends to dry out because they both forget to fertilize.
Is that the kind of marriage you have? Are you helping each other as a couple to maintain a beautiful, healthy relationship to make your marriage work? Do you help each other out in removing anything that hinders the growth of becoming and or maintaining a beautiful relationship? You might not be fighting but have you forgotten to even say "I love you" lately to your spouse?
A precious sister, sister Bren at Seeking Grace On The Narrow Path, recently posted about the "The Love Dare", a 40 day journey for couples that will help you understand how unconditional love fits in to make your marriage work! She also has a give-away, a copy of "Fireproof" movie.
My hubby and I embarked on this journey two nights ago. Even if we don't have anything going on that threatens our marriage, we're glad that we did it because we became more aware of those areas drying out that we haven't tended to in a while. And what an amazing journey when we include God in it!!! After all, He is the Author of unconditional love.
If you feel led and you want to join, please visit Sister Bren here. God bless you and may Jesus be the bond that holds you together, as a couple. May your garden stays beautiful and healthy forever.
Rosel,
ReplyDeleteThis movie touched our whole families lives, not just Steve and I. We made an agreement that day to always work on growing our gardens and guard it against the pests, weeds and other harmful things that will seek to destroy it. Love the book too! It was my Christmas gift last year along with the movie.

You will love this book and see many wonderful changes take place in you and in your marriage because I know you will give it your all and when you do it will be returned to you!
ReplyDeleteBless you Rosel as you and your DH grow closer and more intimate as you love, serve and see each other in a whole new way@\
love you sweet sister
Thank you for sharing this. If you hadn't, I might not have seen about it. I have now ordered both the Love Dare book and the Fireproof DVD.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
The movie Fireproof and the book Love Dare were both awesome! Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteLove and blessings.
I have heard wonderful things about The Love Dare. But a big part of me aches because my husband is not a Christian and God is not part of the mix he brings to our marriage. I love Tony and he is a good moral romantic and faithful spouse...but we are unequally yoked in the most important way of all.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of the Love Dare. Thank you! It sounds fab! I'm a big believer of this kind of challenge; it always helps!
ReplyDeleteLovebug and I did the love dare, it is so awesome. I love you sis.
ReplyDeleteBless you and thank you for this post!
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie! We took our whole family to see it last fall! We still talk about some of the things that happened in it. I have not done the dare myself, but, I think it would be a great thing to do. I have also thought about attempting it as a family too. I am going to pray about that one. :)
