Day 27 & 28
Just a quick check in from us. As I mention in the clip, the past couple of days have been mostly “discussion points” in our home. I (Wendy) have held unrealistic expectations of Kevin at many times throughout our marriage (envisioning in my mind the way things “should” play out) but have learned that in doing so, I am often setting myself up for disappointment. And as far as meeting needs – what we came up with is pretty basic stuff…but we are both thankful (Hey…it’s the thought that counts, right?) Wendy

The dare about unrealistic expectations was very good. It’s nice to hear that I am not the only one with unrealistic expectations.
My sister has been chatting with me about this for awhile now. As I went thru this dare and thot of my sis’s advice, it was good for me. I have tonnes and tonnes of unrealistic expectations of my husband. Um well I guess well I have been stuggling with my relationship with Christ since moving here (when we got married 4 years ago) I had a very very exciting powerfull church where I was and a not so powerful one here — even tho this is no excuse it has been a part of my spiritual – well sleepyness is a good way to say it. Ok too much background any way as a result, all those things that I used to let Christ take care of when I was single has slipped away. Christ as my everything – my comfort – my company – my joy – my strength – my significance – and more. Now I am trying to get it all from my husband and God did not create him or any husband to fulfill these needs. This has created so so many problems. And now — well I admited it to him — he thot it was kinda wierd because he knows nothing about the love dare — and now every day trying to let Christ be my life. I think I wrote a bit about this on the general comments page as well.
