The Love Dare has been an absolute blessing for my wife and me! From the moment we started reading, we realized this book is more than just words—it’s a transformative journey that challenges and strengthens your marriage in ways you never expected.Each day’s dare provides practical, heartfelt guidance to help build deeper love, understanding, and patience. It’s not just about surface-level actions—it encourages real, meaningful change by helping couples grow closer, communicate better, and love unconditionally.One of the things I love most is how this book is rooted in faith and biblical principles, reminding us that love is a choice and a commitment, not just a feeling. The daily challenges are eye-opening and powerful, encouraging us to be more selfless, patient, and intentional in our relationship.Since starting The Love Dare, I’ve noticed a positive shift in how my wife and I interact. It has strengthened our bond, deepened our appreciation for each other, and reminded us of the true meaning of love. If you’re looking for a way to revive, restore, or strengthen your marriage, I highly recommend this book. It’s truly a must-read for any couple, whether newlyweds or decades into marriage. ❤️🙏✨

Highly recommend for all married couples regardless of success or happiness. I'm happily married but there's always room for self improvement.

I love the objective but kind way the book challenges you to look in the mirror and see what you can do to rediscover why you fell in love to begin with. It explains concepts and helps you to learn what the word love actually means.It demands commitment but offers riches beyond any known value.That feeling you get when first falling in love.It does this with a scripture backed context thus cutting through so much of what is offered around us as the secrets to happy love lives.If your heart is in it, it will change your life.And most likely your spouse's as well.A true treasure.Love is one of the names for God. Do not take it in vain.

I give this 4 stars with solid reason, I really wish there was a 4.5 option.This is my ONLY complaint, there are a few chapters where the dare is simply against the message of the book. When the book directs me as it did, my world opened up. My wife opened up, we talked like we haven't in years. I was being emotionally invested in getting to know my wife again, and ultimately falling in love with her all over again. Then there's a chapter that dares to initiate a sexual encounter. Well, on that day of the awesome long talk, we had we both came to healing about past sexual abuse. Neither one of us had gone that deeply concerning the topic, but we did that day, all based off a Love Dare that changed the way we talk. I wasn't able to check that dare off. There was also another one I didn't check but that's not a big enough to make me not love and appreciate this book.I worked this with a friend who was more challenged in his marriage than I am in mine. The open hearted conversations he has had with his wife has initiated healing in their marriage and if he sticks with this and finishes the book, better days are ahead.Love dare showed me how selfish I am, not easy to see. It made me vulnerable to my wife again allowing her needs to get to my heart again like they did early in our relationship. I HEAR her better now, and I LISTEN better too. Remembering the little things that matter to her. I realized thanks to Love Dare that I hadnt been very good lately at helping to carry to her load (she always helps with mine) I learned how to better serve her, and how to accept from her the ways which she serves me.She has become my hero again.Love Dare is not flawless. It was the last book I read in 2014. There is no "resolution" for the new year, its a permanent change. Two words of caution. First I talked to a woman at the book store once who was in a marriage with a cheating husband. This book will not help a situation like that. Look at Love Dare as a vitamin, a way to supplement a mostly healthy marriage. Secondly, dont plan on your spouse changing because of what you read in the book. It will change you more than them. IF like my bookstore lady, something is already broken, sadly this book wont help. If you really want to try to fix a marriage like that, professional help is recommended.Lastly, this book has an AMAZING Appendix. Take my advice and USE it. I went through the scripture list and high lighted all the biblical text in my mens bible to use as a Love Dare field manual so to speak. There are prayer guides, and a great section on leading your heart vs following your heart.A great book and I am grateful I was lead to it. As I said, not flawless, but the shot in the arm I needed to be a better husband.
