Before getting into the dare for today (uhhh I mean a couple days ago)…I have to admit that I have not be as committed to doing this as I would have liked. With that said, although I am not very diligent about doing a daily post, or even looking at the dare at the beginning of the day, I am becoming more mindful of serving my husband and loving him because I want to and I enjoy our marriage. Doing these dares have shown me that I need to love and appreciate him and do things for him, simply because it will make him happy. Now, when I do get to the dares, I enjoy doing them, and I feel like I am completing a secret little mission during the day. So, amidst my somewhat flakey posts and updates as to how I’m doing with this challenge, if you are still following along, just hang in there, we’ll get through the dares at some point! Onto today’s dare:
Love cherishes. What need does your spouse have that you could meet today? Can you run an errand? Give a back or foot massage? Is there housework you could help with? Choose a gesture that says ‘I cherish’ you and do it with a smile.
Day 10 happenings: I think I washed, folded, and took upstairs something in the realm of 7 loads of laundry. Within that laundry was most of Robert’s work pants and shirts, so he was ready to go for the week! (I did this dare on Monday). I do the laundry anyways at our house, but I often slack on it, or only do what I think is necessary. I often also use one of our other bedrooms as a sorting place, and don’t take the extra effort to put the clothes away where they go, so I’ve been diligent about putting them away after they have been so neatly folded. Robert may not have even noticed that it was done, but that is okay as long as it isn’t cluttering our house and making things unorganized!
