Day 27 – Love encourages
Guard my soul and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. — Psalm 25:20Today’s Dare
Eliminate the poison of unrealistic expectations in your home. Think of one area where your spouse has told you you’re expecting too much, and tell them you’re sorry for being so hard on them about it. Promise them you’ll seek to understand, and assure them of your unconditional love.
When you place high expectations on your spouse that they don’t feel internally motivated to attain, what does that tell you about yourself? What are some ways to deal with these disconnects?

Day 27: I could really relate to this dare. It is an ongoing process for me not to push and just to love unconditionally. You see, I want my husband to know my Saviour and to love Him as I do. I have learned through the love of Jesus that I am just to love him and pray for him. Dave has told me that he is sorry that he can not believe (for my sake). It’s not for my sake that I want this but to give God glory. He doesn’t understand that yet.
Some ways that I deal with these disconnects is to focus on the positives. I have a wonderful man for a husband who will do anything to please me. I have to tell you that this week he crafted 12 more crosses to give to the ladies of our group. He told me had a great day doing them. What an awesome God! He uses his hands.
