"The Love Dare" Challenge question?
My spouse and I saw the movie "Fireproof" it was really good. I have purchased "The love dare" book and have thought about doing it; however my spouse and I got into a huge fight and my heart is just not ready. My question for those only that saw the movie and truly understand the entire Love Dare concept, tell me. My husband and I are both Christians, in the movie Caleb was not and once he was saved did the Love Dare. It has to be easier for a "new" Christian to do something like that rather than someone that has been a Christian for a while. As Christians we both know right from wrong and what is needed but doing it is different. Can anyone offer any help, or hope for me..our marriage is in real trouble...I just can't seem to get the hope or courage to try the book. Please only serious answers or comments. Thank you

Actually, he became a Christian (in the movie that is) while half way through the love dare...
If you're wanting to change your marriage... start today. Don't put it off because of a fight. Love is the choice to be there when the times are tough, to still look at that person and think that while you don't like what is going on, you still love him.
And, as far as a new Christian or not, it should be easier for you since you have a long relationship with God. Meaning, you're not adjusting your habits and ways to being a born again Christian, you're living that life already.
SO, take that book out now, or when you get home and start in. Do it with a full heart, not the minimum to just "get by". Also, if you're not attending church, you should start.
We've been going as a family for a few weeks now and what a difference it has made for us. It helps us to have more quality family time and be around a ton of friendly people that have the same values as we do.
And of course, pray. Talk to God about it and I'm sure you'll know just what to do. He'll lead you. All you have to do is listen.
Good luck to you and God bless you!

You say your marriage is in trouble, and that you had a bad argument, but you don't state what the problem is. Certainly, the Love Dare is a good concept. I can definitely see how it could greatly help a tepid relationship. However, I agree with you that you would need to be in a relatively OK place in your marriage to try it. I don't think even the authors thought that it should be attempted as a cure for major problems. It's not a panacea.
Whatever your disagreement with your husband is, you would do well to pray together and work it out together. Save the Love Dare for when you're both feeling better about your marriage.

I didn't see the movie and I am a practicing Catholic.
Don't you think now, more than ever is a GOOD time to show love to your husband?
True love given when it hasn't been "earned" is the true Christian way.
Blessings on your marriage.
