Today's Dare: Take time to pray through your areas of wrongdoing. Ask for God's forgiveness, then humble yourself enough to admit them to your spouse. Do it sincerely and truthfully. Ask your spouse for forgiveness as well. No matter how they respond, make sure you cover your responsibility in love. Even if they respond with criticism, accept it by receiving it as counsel.
God's Word says: When you judge another, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things. Romans 2:1

Well...I most certainly had an opportunity to do this dare. The past few days I have been in a "funk". Daniel and I got into an argument, mostly my fault for a change and I just let myself be mad and stay mad. It wasn't pretty. During one of my "I just need time to myself" moments, I reflected back on the argument and tried to figure out why I was so mad. Doing this really helped me to see some areas that I NEED to work on. So I went to Daniel, sat down in front of him, and asked for forgiveness. We exchange "I'm sorry's" whenever we need to, but we rarely ask for forgiveness. It was a great lesson. I told him that I am aware of what I need to work on and asked him to help hold me accountable. It was really neat to be "responsible" and see what I need to change.
