Anyone done Love Dare?

[Dace]

Hubby and I are going to start the Love Dare book, but I can't seem to find the answer to my very simple silly question!

Do we both start at the begining and do the same dares each day? Seems silly if we both have the same dare.

Any one have any ideas? I am thinking that we start at opposite ends of the book :/

sound interesting....! I have never heard of it. Can you google it?

I've been interested, BUT what if only one person does it? It's Christian-based, right? My fiance would never go for it. Is it something you can do solo?

I read the review. It looks really good. If yo google it yo can actually see the dares day by day.

I did a book like that with my dh when we were in our 20's. But It was different dares......

Yes I know TMI.

The guy in the movie did it by himself to win back his wife.

I think it would be more interesting if both people do different dares, then it would be a surprise each day!

I've done PART of the book, by myself. It didn't work.

Anywho - the dares seem to "build" on each other, and especially the devotional aspect (if you actually do that part - you can get cards with just the dares on them, I think) is meant to build on what you are learning about your spouse.

Good luck to you and your spouse, and I'm glad y'all are working on things now, and both willing to do it together.

My DH did it alone. He got together with a couple of his friends - they would meet every Saturday morning for coffee somewhere and discuss the next dare. Then all the guys would go home and do the dares that week.

It all started because one of the guys was trying to save his troubled marriage - and knew the trouble was mostly his fault, and DH and the other guy wanted to be supportive.

I never did read the book, but saw the movie. Very inspirational.

I saw the movie at church earlier this year. And, I could feel myself tensing up at the beginning. While my hubby has never laid his hands on me and is not into porn, how the guy was in the beginning is pretty much how my hubby is when drunk. I got the movie after that, and the book. I started to do the dare. Shortly after I started though, my hubby threw his back out. And, I could not find the time to do them. Basically, I stopping at the farm to feed the horses, then going to work, then stopping back at the farm and doing what had to be done, then going home, getting a shower and taking my hubby to the doctor, then coming home and getting a bare minimum of stuff done at home then going to bed so I could get up and do it all over the next day.

That being said, I am going to start doing the book again. I have never opened the movie since I wanted to watch it w/my hubby. I just can't get him to watch any movies w/me. So, I am going to give him the movie and the book for Christmas. If he does it, it will save our marriage. (He won't go for counseling.) If he doesn't, I cannot see our marriage surviving.

And one reason why I'm starting the book b4 him is so if he does do it, we're not doing the same dare on the same day.

Gina we did a "different" type of book a long time ago too a romance one and a 101 Nights of Great Sex book. Never quite got thru the sex one

Tort, yes it is Christian based. But if you want a great book look up 101 Nights of Great Romance.....each person has special assignments, they are fun and funny and put a little spark back into things because suddenly you start putting your spouse first and spend more time thinking about nice things to do for them, then again there is the aforementioned sex book

Vickylyn, your Hubby sounds like a real keeper! That is great that he and his buddies rallied around another friend

DenimDeb & Bethanial.....ok thanks! We were thinking he could start in the back and I could start in the front but I was a little worried that the dares may build somehow. Maybe I will take evens and he can take odds and every ten we will go back ten dares and start over. I'll do evens 2-10 then bump back and do 1-9.....it will be a challenge to keep track of but at least we will each get to do each dare and not jump too far ahead.

I bought the movie for us to watch too . We saw a short clip at the marriage conference we went on.
