the love dare: Love is NOT rude

As I opened up my book for today's love dare I read love is not rude.... I really didn't wanna read it, I have other things to do but I made myself.  After I read it, I was thankful.  It was wrote just for me.  I should have read it yesterday because last evening in my frustrations I was rude and I was convicted by today's reading...

Questions asked in today's reading..

How does your spouse feel about the way you speak and act around him?

How does your behavior affect your mate's sense of worth and self-esteem?

Would your husband or wife say you're a blessing, or that you're condescending and embarrassing?

Do you wish your spouse would quit doing the things that bother you? Then it's time to stop doing the things that bother them.

And more...

Three guiding principles for practicing etiquette in your marriage

1. Guard the Golden rule.   Luke 6:31

2. No double standards. Be as considerate to your spouse as you are to strangers and coworkers.  I think this one is convicting!!!!

3. Honor request.  Consider what your spouse already asked you to do or not do.  If in doubt, then ask.

The Challenge:  Ask your spouse to tell you three things that cause him or her to be uncomfortable or irritated by you.  No attacking.  and it's from their perspective.
