Day seven wasn't such a tough challenge for me. I got to list positive things about my spouse. That list far outweighs and overshadows the "negatives" list, and those things are petty things that don't really do more than just annoy or frustrate me on occassion. I am fortunate. I'm looking forward to burning the "negative list" on day eight.

Day 8: Love is not Jealous

Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire.

—Song of Solomon 8:6 NIV

TODAY’S DARE

Determine to become your spouse’s biggest fan and to reject any thoughts of jealousy. To help you set your heart on your spouse and focus on their achievements, take yesterday’s list of negative attributes and discreetly burn it. Then share with your spouse how glad you are about a success he or she recently enjoyed.

I love to brag on my husband TO my husband. I have always tried to be his biggest fan, but there were/are definitely times when I don't verbalize that to him or show that to him. I can't wait to tell him tomorrow about how proud I am of him.
