The final wrap up of the dare…

Well, it is over…are we better for it? Did it do what we hoped? Did it encourage? Well…the answer is I think so!! The love dare is a process…The love dare is not a quick fix in my books…the long term implications may not be felt for a little while, but I can tell you this…
1. Wendy and I love each other very much!!
2. Wendy and I spent 4o days working on loving each other more!
3. Wendy and I had to talk about “us” for 40 days
4. Wendy and I had to be open and honest with the world and report how we were doing
5. I had to try everyday to spend time working on my marriage…

The list of things we had to do is long…
Look at these items that I listed…HOW COULD THIS NOT BE A GOOD THING!!!

Yes, we did fall off the wagon for the last few days…we were far from the perfect couple for the blogging etc…BUT – we were forced (nicely) to think about how we make “us” better everyday!

I am looking forward to the discussion on FULL CIRCLE on Friday…I got to spend time telling Wendy I love her, showing her I love her and than praying and thinking and talking to God about ways to make this marriage better…

I am honored that we were chosen…I am better off today than I was 40 days ago! I pray that watching this and following along helped you to focus on your marriage!

You know, Satan does not want us to succeed in our marriages! If he can get us so focused on other things, so focused on our own needs and what we want…on BEING HAPPY!!!, than we will focus our attention of things other than our marriage! I want to think about having a fantastic marriage. The great thing is this…no matter how good it is…it can be better!!

I look forward to continued work on our relationship privately…but if you continue to follow me on facebook, twitter or my website – you will see my blogs and other things pointing to my relationship with Wendy…My kids are important to me, my career is important to me…my friends and family are important…BUT if my marriage falls apart…well let’s just say, I will do everything in my power to live the love dare everyday of every year to ensure that GOD is #1 in our relationship and that WENDY knows I love her more than anything else…

So – I pray that you were as encouraged as we were…stay in touch!! goto www.kevinpauls.com sign up for my newsletter…

Thanks,

Kevin

    Thanks to all 3 couples. It was an encouragement to me and to my husband. At first I tried to do it without telling him, but then couldn’t keep it to myself. We both checked in to see how all of you were doing. I was/ am way behind, but it has been good, none the less. I’m glad you all didn’t perfectly meet the demands of each day. It made it easier to relate. You were all so different, yet it was evident you all want the same thing- God helping you have the best relationship with your spouse. We’ve been married for almost 30 years, and we know that it is only with God’s help that we continue to love, work, forgive and love again.
    I told all 3 of our children to look at the blogs, not sure they did. A few of our friends also checked them out.
    Again, thanks for daring to do this in front of us, and along with us. I’m teaching tomorrow but will watch the show online. Blessings to you and your families.

    I guess I was hoping this marrital support could be on going especially for those couples that are struggling out there. Some on going follow up mentor ship accountability etc. My marrage is struggling and the future is uncertain. Sister Sue
