Did anything happen today to cause anger toward your mate? Were you tempted to think disapproving thoughts and to let them come out in words?
The first part of this dare is fairly simple. Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart. For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your significant other at all. If the temptation arises, choose to not say anything. It's better to hold your tongue than to say something you'll regret.

Relationship BootcampDaring to love is one of the most crucial elements of a long-term, committed relationship. Whether new or old, perfect or falling apart, a relationship can only get better. I do not claim to be an expert by any means. In some ways, I could use more work in some aspects than most. However, I have realized how important my relationship is to me, and I am committed to making it better from here on out. In light of this, I have done a lot of soul-searching, a lot of praying, and a lot of homework. Compiling it here, maybe it won't help just me. Bettering a relationship is not something that is ever considered by most. Most just believe things are the way they are, and he/she will never change. However, it is selfish to put blame on another and not look at yourself first. The first step is to take a look at yourself, and then build a path to nurturing your relationship. Choosing to lead your heart and choosing to love will, in the end, change you, your partner, and potentially change your life. Archives
