Day 10: Love is unconditional
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
TODAY’S DARE
Do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse—something that proves (to you and to them) that your love is based on your choice and nothing else. Wash her car. Clean the kitchen. Buy his favorite dessert. Fold the laundry. Demonstrate love to them for the sheer joy of being their partner in marriage.
The Love Dare is a 40-day challenge for husbands and wives to understand and practice unconditional love. You can do it as a couple, or if your marriage is in trouble, do it as an individual, for your marriage, out of obedience to Christ. Each day has a challenging lesson on love, followed by a ‘dare’ for the day, and space to journal how it went. For more information visit Fireproof My Marriage

He is that person who is never is willing to see my side. He comes home when he misses me and retreats when the going gets tough. He is vindictive, and gives me the silent treatment. We were in the middle of a wonderful European holiday when he told me he would divorce me when we returned home. He left our home a week after returning and did not contact me for 11 months. He is gone again. Unconditional love is so, so hard, no it would be impossible, if it were not for my relationship with my Lord and my God. But when is it time to let go, and just let God …..
