Works.
This book is fanatasic it did help a bit with our marriage and after a 6 year separation we are back together. I do highly recommend watching fire proof first to get the mistakes that caleb makes when doing this and what to possibly expect from your spouse. Do not expect a miracle over night. It takes time effort and faith and a better relationship with God.
Not a quick fix for your marriage
I bought this for a friend of mine whose marriage was on jagged rocks. The ideas and intentions are good, but the 2 guys I sent this to, quickly found that it doesn't work as well as it did for the author. If I remember correctly, the author began changing his behaviors and did these things, pretty much out of nowhere, and by keeping to this book, his wife changed her attitude also, their marriage turned around, and became Christ-centered. But it was very different for both my friends. They each received the book with joy, began keeping to it, but their wives were both skeptical and didn't receive their actions positively. Today, neither of them are married any longer to the woman they bought it for. So don't look at this book as an easy fix for your marriage or your relationship with your wife. Instead, use it WITH other means (get involved together with a church group, pray together, read the Bible (separately and together), Christian marriage counseling, join a group at church that's going through the book together, etc.). Jesus needs to be the center of the marriage as a whole, and both of your lives.
Must Read for Men
For any husband or man in a serious relationship, this book can really change the course of your partnership for the better! When my wife and I watched "Fireproof" I thought it was going to be just another corny Christian movie but I was shocked at how good it was that I immediately bought this book. It's really changed my perspective and shown me how to love my wife harder and with action so that she not only knows I love her but she sees it and feels it through action! Side-note: The leather edition here feels great in your hands and looks great compared to a standard paperback. It's also subtle so that she won't be able to easily see your "handbook" for the next 40 days. Men, read this book. For yourselves. For your wife. For your marriage. I promise you won't be disappointed. Be prepared and ready to commit! The Love Dare is not easy and without follow through it's worthless. 100% Recommend. It's a necessity!
Beautiful book, poor packaging.
The book is great. I own the kindle version already but wanted this beautiful print version too. Unfortunately it arrived straight out of the package with sticky spots all over it!! It was difficult to clean but got it eventually. Just gross. But don't let that stop you from reading this... it's a life changer.
Very Awesome Book! Try it before giving up on your marriage!
I love the Love Dare book. It gave me a new perspective on my own marriage. I had a copy given to me over a year ago and went through it. And I gave a copy to my brother and sister in law who’s marriage was struggling. I gave my sister in law my copy and bought one for my brother in law. I bought this copy for a friend my husband works with who was struggling. This guy’s wife got saved when they were reading some of the Bible verses in it. I now have another copy for myself as well that I need to get started on soon.
Open your Soul to The Love Dare
I’m a individual and couples counselor. I’m giving this to my pre engagement and marriage couples. This is wonderful information , just because they use quotes from the Bible doesn’t mean anyone is trying to put their religion on you. I’m not a Christian or any type of religion person but I do believe in a higher power Thy Holy Spirit. We all are spirits that needs to be led to the right spirit to have a healthy long lasting relationship either in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, engagement relationship and or a marriage. You must read this with an open heart and mind. It took time to get our hearts and minds the way it is , so it will take time to heal our hearts and minds. First we must know who we are as an individual then we will truly understand the person we are loving in a relationship . He-Man💜♾💜
Amazing!
I've done many of these "dares" before I had even heard of this book. They really do work wonders in a marriage. When I got the book I was surprised, it's absolutely beautiful. I bought a used copy, which was in very good condition, but if there wasn't one available I would definitely pay full price new. It's worth it.
It is truly a God send.
After watching Fireproof, which I strongly recommend. I decided I wanted to give the Love Dare day by day challenge a shot in my marriage. It has been so helpful, we've learned so much about what God intended for a husband and wife. Those titles, roles, are a different hat I've never worn. We were just winging it without a clue in the world of what it actually meant to be a husband and a wife. Getting married is the easy part. Staying married... well that's another story. But, if it were easy everybody could make it last. Take the challenge, it will give you a new perspective.
The Love Dare
The Love Dare is a 40 day devotions to help you truely understand what unconditional love is ,acording to the Bible. I have truely enjoyed growing as a christian through these past 40 days . I have become a calmer person and for the fist time in months or even years I feel at peace . I have even noticed a difference in my husband too & he is not doing the devotion. I gave my sister-in -law a copy of Fireproof the book and The Love Dare for her birthday. She had watched the movie the week befor and was over joyed to get both books. I feel all 3 things go together,Fire Proof the movie ,Fire proof the book and the Love Dare . I must tell you Do Not read the LOVE DARE unless you want something realy great to happen in you life. It will not be a easy walk, but it will be a worth every step . For some it will be easyer than for others, just hang in there and let God work with you .Because He will change you life,for the better. I feel everyone who wants to change their Marrage and personal life should have all 3. The movie is great ,but the book goes even deeper in to the lives of Calbe and his wife as the surch for the trueth and away to save their broken marrage.
The Love Dare
By Stephen Kendrick and Alex Kendrick (B&H Publishing Group, 2008) This book was featured in the popular movie, Fireproof, and centers around improving marriages by working on the core structure of couples, their hearts. The authors have modeled this book as a 40-day guided devotional adventure, aimed at teaching the reader and their partner how to love God and each other the right way, and how to put unimportant nuisances aside. Each day's reading includes a Bible verse, a principle statement, a dare to be performed that day, room to write your thoughts, and a check box to evaluate progress. The daily dares work to bring the relationship back together and to show the other person in the relationship that you love, care, and value them. With this book's reputation, in combination with the Fireproof movie, these can change marriages and eliminate even the idea of divorce in crumbling relationships; this is a must read for couples.
