Fighting fair never used to be a problem for me but then again fairness has always been based on my definition of being fair and admittedly could very well be a bit of a one sided argument sometimes. The list of rules mentioned in the Love Dare book however...

Once again one of my more difficult dares. I am not naturally a very flexible person and have a very “Right Way, Wrong Way” type mindset. Historically there are no middle ground or grey areas in my world and as a result I have managed to hurt many people...

I have been a bad boy and haven’t blogged or continued with the dare for that matter for more than a week now mostly because of other things at home and work eating away at my available time. I am back now though and ready to pursue my wife with everything...

Just a quick note… Today I overheard the tail end of a conversation involving 2 of my colleagues (different people from the individual mentioned in the Day 3 blog entry). The one was telling the other how his wife is getting like me – all agitated, angry...

The day 10 dare requires that I think of a way to show my wife that I choose to love her by doing something out of the ordinary. I already have an idea that she might like but before I mention it here I need to see if the logistics is going to allow for...

As I am on day 14 of my 8 day love dare journey today I have decided to step it up a notch and complete the next 2 dares today. I have already taken the list of her bad qualities (described very awkwardly) and burned it. That wasn’t hard at all though...

Today’s dare was to write down the best and worst characteristics of my wife. I sat down thinking that this is an easy dare as it doesn’t call for restraint or interaction (both of which have the possibility to trip one up). So I sat down and started...

Today’s dare is a tough one, not because I don’t know what margin is but because I honestly don’t know where or what I should cut. All items on my daily and weekly schedules (repeated items) are of great importance and mostly not only to me but also to...

On Friday evening on the way to get some takeout after visiting my mom-in-law I asked my wife to tell me what the 3 things are that irritate her most about me. Immediately she was apprehensive and wanted to know why I wanted to know to which I replied...

When I read this dare yesterday I picked up the phone and called my wife. She wasn’t in so I called back later and got hold of her on the second try. I asked her if there was anything I could do for her and she said not anything that she can think of...

Right so once again I end up thinking about what this journey is changing in me. One might begin to think that the purpose of participating in and committing to the Love Dare is to change (for the better) a relationship - which it is not. Instead the...

On Friday afternoon after writing my first entry my wife and I went to a massage centre where I learned how to give her a proper back, neck and shoulder massage. This was a truly exciting experience but pulled me out of my comfort zone quite considerably...

I have thought long and hard about the prospect of starting with this Love Dare and exactly how it might impact on the relationship I currently have with my beautiful wife of 9 months. Tomorrow I start, but before I do I thought it may be nice to write...
