Big surprise... it was harder to hold my tongue today with Louis. (Day Two of the Love Dare is the same as Day One, and continues for all 40 days.) I got a little snarky with him and when I stopped, he thought I was mad which prompted him to get snarky with me. It's funny, in 2 days I realized that while we have a good marriage, we don't always treat each other well. Perhaps my effort to adjust the way I treat my husband will have an added benefit of changing the way he treats me. We've been together so long that we know how to push each others buttons.
I wonder how often that happens in marriages. Surely we are not the exception. I wonder if it has always been like this or if we, as a society, have become so dissatisfied with our lives that we fail to see how our actions impact others. This is something I think I will discover, at least for myself, over these next several weeks!
I am starting the Purpose Driven Life tonight... too tired last night.
