The Love Dare!

OK... I deleted the last post on Brian and I being separated. We were seperated for about a week, and I was crushed, to put it lightly, and wrote probably too much! However we have decided to make this work! Divorce is easy to decide to do and always an option to every marriage, but I have done some MAJOR soul searching and PRAYING and I know for a fact that him and I are not meant to be over! We both have so many flaws and are incompatible in lots of ways, but nothing is anything that cant be corrected.

About a year ago Brian and I were in the mall and walked past a religious book store, and were lured in by the salesman there. He was showing us a new movie that had just been released called Fireproof!! He told us this movie was about marriages, and proceeded to ask us about our marriage. We both looked at eachother kinda shocked that this guy was telling us about this. Not only because we had marriage problems then also, but because we kinda felt a little bit invaded by him talking to us about our marriage.... I mean we didn't even know this guy! SO, yesterday Brian was not home, so I went to the house to do some laundry and get ready for work and out of the blue started thinking about this movie. I searched for this movie for a while and eventually found it and stuck it in! Not only is this movie all about marriage, it incorporates god into it. Me, and religion don't get along, but me and god on the other hand is a little different. I am not the best at praying and hadn't for quite a long time. For some reason I decided to start praying.... and just from today's prayer I had a feeling of peace and a wonderful day to top! Anyways, in the movie there is a book that is given to the husband called the "Love Dare". This book is not only in the movie, it is one and its own and is published and for sale in stores. Today I bought that book and intend to follow it to the fullest! It is a 40 day commitment, that will lead to a change not only in me but in my marriage. That's the point right? RIGHT! I started this "Love Dare" today.... and am excited to see the end result!:) I am just remembering to keep a prayer in my heart and patience to see if this works.

Brian has already changed so much!! I also feel so much different, and find it easier to be happy with him. :) Patience, Time, and practice will be the keys to keeping these changes, on both parts! Wish us luck! :)
