Beginning the love dare sounded like it could be manageable. Being on vacation has added some stress and have tried my best to follow what the book has challenged me daily. So in many various ways I have failed. I am going to begin this Love Dare challenge on this blog. Once it is done I promise I will add other pieces to my blog. It is an opportunity for me to share what I have learned and also to go back and read everything again.
It was the fifth day today and the challenge was "love is not rude." I felt confident that I had everything under control today. Held my tongue and prayed that I would not be rude. I am suppose to ask Matt to tell me three things that cause him to feel uncomfortable or irritated with me. So here it goes:
1. Tone of voice- loudness.
2. Anger- enough said :(
3. Too busy- being on my phone.
These are huge! Matt has told me on various occasions that I need to lower my voice or watch how I say things to not just him but to others. Getting upset or angry at little things has been adding up since I am a stay at home mom I lose my "cool" by the end of the day and poor Matt hears all about it when he comes home. Now the third response concerns me too, being busy on my phone. Status updates on fb, or working on my blog, checking email, or just doing nothing important on my cell should not take a priority. I will put my cell away when Matt walks through the door after a long day at work.
