I’m not done yet — 3 day’s behind. Please don’t take the website off yet. Plus I need to go back and here some of the words of wisdom again.

Thanks again for making this available for me to help my marriage. A week ago or so my hubby said “something is different and I like it”

You both have been an awesome example of Godly character, integrity and strenght. You have been so honest and truly open with your lives. Each day you have put a lot of planning into the video, you have not only shared your lives but your home. You taught valueable lessons by your examples, and your daily humor. I have learned so much about love and how it applies to a relationship. You have inspired me so much. Thank you and may God’s richest blessing be each of you and your marriage in a greater way.

We did it! Thank you both so much for blogging your journey together! I was truly blessed by it! I have been following from the beginning with you and am super excited about watching you tomorrow on full circle!
Honestly, this was the most rewarding experience in my life! Through this LOVE DARE it has really changed me completely! Following your story encouraged me to continue when there were times when I wanted to give up! thanks so much for that ! Blessings to you both!!

Glory be to God and we thank you both for allowing us in on your 40 day challege. You are a beautiful couple and seemed to have a wonderful marriage. You are an inspiration to the rest of us. We’ve been married 26 years we praise God for that and I trust like you both it will only get stronger. Communication is key. When you have a relationship with Christ you can have great relationships with others. Keep the faith and thankyou so much for doing this.

Jeeva and Sulojana, you guys have been absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for taking this challenge and for taking it so seriously. I truly appreciate the time and the effort you’ve both put into this project. One more sleep until we meet again!

I can’t believe this is over!!

I remember when we sat in a meeting and came up with this idea…. I don’t think anyone in that room knew how it would come together or if it would work, but I have been encouraged by how open all the couples have been and those who came alongside and joined the journey.

God Bless all the Love Dare couples; those that actively posted every day; and those who followed along.

And to those who did the dare by themselves, I truly respect your courage and determination to continue on the journey, and I pray that God will continue to help those who are in rough marriage situations. Please know that God is able to do anything, don’t give up!

This was a great project!

If Lisa was upset about my comment, she would not have given me the finger… She would have cuffed me in the back of the head… So I’m pretty sure it just looks like she is!

Is it just me or did Lisa give chris the finger on that last dare? kinda looks like it. Its about half way through the blog when chris is saying he completed the dares but she didn’t. I hope you laugh about this, not be offended.

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

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.
Again, thanks for daring to do this in front of us, and along with us. I’m working tomorrow but will watch the show online. Blessings to you and your families.

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.

My first time writing but I have followed you the full 40 days. Sometimes you made me laugh and other times I was just very blessed. We’ve been married 45 years and have had many ups and downs but God has taught us many things about us and about Him and His faithfulness to us through the journey. A number of years ago we started praying together and that has contributed alot to the strength of our marriage and our family relationships. We have 4 children and 10 grandchildren and 2 more on the way. We love them all dearly. But we have lots of family issues , some we never expected to have but …God has made us stronger and more dependent on Him. I’ll miss these daily visits with you but continue to grow together in Him and to be an ongoing blessing to many more people. Thank you

Hi guys,

Just wanted to say thanks for following through with the Love Dare. I can imagine it wasn’t easy to keep up with doing the video logs every day! It has been amazing to watch you on this journey and I have learned a lot.

I look forward to seeing you on Huntley Street.

Take care!

hello again jeeva and sulojana l also teared up watching you say your beautiful vows to one another. if l were a teacher l would grade you both with 100% for the effort you both put into this wonderful experience “the love dare”. over and over you conveyed to all of us to keep focused on God and this would eventually affect our marriages. sometimes it is hard to hear the whisper of God in your ear when you are trying so hard to make a marriage work on your own. the heartwarming conversations between the two of you are sure to help any couple want to reach their full potential as husband and wife. with any group activity the real challenge comes when it comes to an end and you must keep going and hold on to all you have learned from others such as you both and the other love dare couples. for me l wish l could watch you everyday and grab some inspiration to help me through each and every day. so yes l will miss this part but like l said before tomorrow is “love dare #1″ for me again. l do not belong to any set church but will actively look for one and pray God leads me to the right one. so l send warm wishes to you both and to tell you l will miss you, sulojana you looked so absolutely stunning in your Indian wedding dress. love brenda

Hi,

Thanks for following though with this Love Dare. I know it must be hard to fit the tasks into the day, let alone the reporting too. I know it wasn’t always easy to keep up with the watching/reading! So, great job!

I have been following along from the beginning, and have enjoyed watching you guys and the other couples. I have never been married, but find that I am encouraged to see how God can work in and through marriages. The fact that so many of the tasks you “already do” is what is truly the most encouraging. That is probably why you have been married as long as you have. Now maybe you can write a book…(The Love Dare Part II?) Okay maybe not!

Anyhow, thanks for allowing us to watch you walk through this process. The idea of marriage has often bit a little scary to me, and being able to see regular Christians talk honestly about their life and marriage over the last 40 days has been amazing. You have all touched many people and I am sure the audience, and your impact, is greater than you will ever know.

I look forward to seeing you all on Huntley Street this week. Take care!

I have so appreciated your dedication to fulfilling the dares. Now again you have made this dare so meaningful by renewing your wedding vows for us all to hear. You have both blessed me so much with your open, loving sharing. May God continue to bless you both as you love and serve Him.

Not sure why I always cry at weddings …that was so sincere, touching and beautiful. I am going to miss these daily posts …the two of you are such genuine, loving, people who possess the rare ability to really “touch” people . I sure wish the two of you had the time to set up your own devotional blog or something very similar to this Love Dare.

Thank you for the priviledge of allowing me to share this journey with the two of you.

“May the Lord bless you and keep you..”

I loved the joking between you guys. It was great. Congrats on finishing the Dare! You don’t need a haircut Chris but of course Lisa is always right. It’s been good getting to know you guys. I dare you to do this again next year – just kidding.

I love that painting in the background. Wow, it’s so beautiful.
