The reason you chose to join or do The Love Dare
- Rating: No Rating
I myself decided to do The Love Dare was from a suggestion from a dear friend. My spouse and I have had some troubling times in the past...that caused me to lose the passion, joy, and being "in love" with him. As time passed we just went along with getting through the days instead of enjoying the days with each other. I so want to reconnect with him and feel close. Life is too short and can get very lonely when you just go through the motions. I want to feel again and love him the way I should. So this is going to be a difficult path for me, since I have put up my walls. I look forward to the weight of those walls falling down. I also want my children to have better role models in seeing a warmer relationship between their parents. I pray that the Lord will give me the strength, encouragement, and will to complete each dare to the fullest. So please join me on this journey. We can improve wonderful relationships or help ones that could use some help.

I could have written your post myself, Donna. It is hard when you have small children, and that is not an excuse, but I think that regardless of any other circumstances, that in itself puts any relationship to the test. That is where I am at in my marriage right now. We don't spend very much time together, and when we do, much of our energies are focused on the kids. We rarely talk, as my husband is not really the talker, and that makes me feel inadequate and like he doesn't care enough, which I know isn't true. I take a lot of my stress from being home with the kids all day, and just from everyday life, out on him, and he feels unloved at times as well. I am joining this discussion, to, as you said, tear down those walls, and open lines of communication. So that we can ultimately reconnect with one another and have a healthier, more loving relationship.

Hi my name is Kelly and I have three kids. I went through a bad divorce 2 1/2 yrs ago and now I am living with my bf. I dont want to make the same mistakes. I love him and he loves the kids. we have a lot to work on. I am the one in our relationship that feels unloved but like jennifer Im home with the kids and have a lot of stresses. He does too!! I think we both take a lot out on each other. I am doing much better now that I found a passion for work but I am also very stubborn and I need to learn to let go sometimes. I have to learn to not let things bother me so much. I know he doesnt mean to say mean things to me Im sensitive and I blow up at him and then he gets very angry. I hope this can help me I have a lot of faith!!!
