The first part of this dare is fairly
simple. Although love is communicated
in a number of ways, our words often
reflect the condition of our heart. For
the next day, resolve to demonstrate
patience and to say nothing negative
to your spouse at all. If the temptation
arises, choose not to say anything. It’s
better to hold your tongue than to say
something you’ll regret.

He wrked most of the day. Before he left for work he was very very angry. Yelling at the children and swearing. Telling them to get dressed and that he was going to be late for work because of them. It is his fault he woke up late not their's, but he doesnt get that. I didnt say anything. I should have, I should have stuck up for my kids, but this book says to keep my mouth shut. He than went to work, he called once. When he called he was mean than to, I dont know why he bothers to call if he is just going to hang up on me or be nasty. I just asked him a simple question about the football game we are going to tomorrow and what time we were leaving. I work 3rd, so i want to know if I was sleeping on the way there or what. He got all nasty and said " Dont even go to sleep, cuz you will wake up tired and be a bitch." I just wanted to know what time the game was. Why does he have to use such hurtful words? I keep my mouth closed though. Then I asked him what time he was coming home cuz i wanted to stop at walmart before I went to wrk tonight and get some long johns for tom. I have no warm clothes. He just started yelling before I could even tell him why I wanted him home early and then he hung up. It is so frustrating, at least I couldnt say anything mean, cuz he didnt give me the chance.

Oh Dear Lord, I pray that this helps. We have both been at a loss in this marriage for awhile now. I think he has just totally given up, and wants to live his own life, without me and the kids bothering him. That hurts as you know. But I Pray to you that this wrks, I am going to give this 110%, but if it doesnt wrk than I know it is over, and I have done everything in my power and have used all the skills that you gave me. I just pray that it wrks. That the nights/days get a little less loneler and the tears cry a little less and then pain starts to fade.

Father I Pray for Your forgiveness for this husband, NO man should treat or speak to His wife this way, You tell us Father 'Husbands, love Your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her' Eph. 5: 25. We ask for healing and restoration for this husband in Jesus' name Amen!!

Heavenly Father, I pray for this husband today that you grab hold of his heart and do your will in his life. I understand this womans pain. I lived this life and now seperated from my husband and hope for the same as she does. May you Lord hold this family in your hands guide them and protect them with your love. Amen
