Dare:
Do something for David that shows I cherish him - examples, massage or run an errand. Meet one of his needs.
David and I have always said we'd be married forever - divorce is never in the picture. But why? Is it because we don't believe in divorce or because we truly cherish each other? I haven't been so good at the cherishing thing. Time to change that.
David is big, I mean bbbbiiiggg. Have I let that diminish my feelings for him? He is still the same person I married, and he demonstrates that he loves me even though I'm also a big person. Although I do want him to lose weight for his health, I need to accept his whole being, including his body. He mentioned last night that he needs to lose weight. So do I. Maybe I can help him by joining him in a weight loss regimen.
Results:
I tried to take every opportunity I could to do things for David. I put his choir book away. I tried to get him what he needed. Unfortunately, he had a hard day. He is the AWANA commander and he's been praying for 200 clubbers this year. It started off great but has slowly diminished, mainly because he doesn't have all the help he needs. He was kind of grouchy and bit my head off once. I didn't react, didn't argue, nothing - even though it hurt. I told someone this morning that the dare isn't about changing David. It's about changing me. It's about my love for him. I can't control him. I can only control me.
