"When she speaks a wise man will listen like a detective to discover the unspoken needs and desires her words imply"
Today's dare was quite easy, in my opinion. I've tried to make efforts to check in with her what I haven't done during those "check-ins" was to ask if she needed anything. I have realized that when we fight, I withhold that. Maybe as percieved punishment, maybe just out of spite.
My biggest concern with this dare is not being a pest. i know this dare is meant to teach me to be less selfish and more selfless (anyone else see a theme) but I don't want to come across as being needy, or as a hanger-on. I guess the trick is to find that balance between truly being selfless by letting her know that I'm there to help and will ask to help, but to take her cues and back off when the time is right. I know that I need to replace being selfish and thinking about myself with thinking about her more.
Had another great day. At time, almost felt giddy. Is this what it is supposed to feel like, I don't remember it's been so long.
I've felt giddy during the dares too. :)

I feel like you too John. I am so "giddy" as you wrote during these first few days that I want to be close to my wife all the time. I don't want to get on her nerves or appear too much. I am sure that I will find a balance, but to be honest, I think my wife is enjoying all the attention.
I'm new to all of this. I'm trying to do this for my sister. I have a hard time expressing my love to her. It's so neat to be able to do this for her. I find that day 4 is really dificult. I just hope that what I do will make an impact on her.
