(You can read more details explaining how we are doing the dare here: The Love Dare with FirefighterWife)

Love Seeks to Understand

 How blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
and the man who gains understanding.

Proverbs 3:13

Excerpt from The Love Dare Book:

“Things like gender differences, family backgrounds, and varied life experiences can cloud your ability to know your mate’s heart and motivations.  But God is a giver of wisdom.  The Lord will show you what you need in order to know how to love your spouse better.

“By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches” (Proverbs 24:3-4).  There is a depth of beauty and meaning inside your wife or husband that will amaze you as you discover more of it.  Enter the mystery with expectation and enthusiasm.  Desire to know this person even better than you do now.  Make him or her your chosen field of study, and you will fill your home with the kind of riches only love can provide.”

“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.  (Song of Solomon 6:3)”

Today’s Dare

Prepare a special dinner at home, just for the two of you.  The dinner can be as nice as you prefer.  Focus this time on getting to know your spouse better, perhaps in areas you’ve rarely talked about.  Determine to make it an enjoyable evening for you and your mate.

How are you doing?  Has it been easy?  Struggling?

Big question for the fire wives…..so my firefighter is on duty today.  But we have a date night planned out of the house tomorrow.  How have you been doing fitting in the dares while he’s at work?
