Day 40 - Love is a Covenant 8/4/11

Todays Dare

Write out a renewal of your vows and place them in your home.  Perhaps, if appropriate, you could make arrangements to formally renew your wedding vows before a minister and with family present.  Make it a living testament to the value of mariage in God's eyes and the high honor of being one with your mate.

What has God revealed to you during the Love Dare?  How have your views of your marriage changed?  How committed are you to God and to your Spouse?  Who can you share this with as a testimony?

This I am saving for tomorrow......

So..its tomorrow...I am going to attempt this now and I think this is going to be tough.  I dont even know where to start.  This is why we used the normal vows for our wedding :) lol...but here goes..and I will stick these in the  book as well.  I want this to be more intimate as well and I dont think it's something that I need to share with the random blog readers. :)

Favorite Phrase

This book may end on Day 40.  But who says your dare has to stop? And as you view your marriage relationship from this point on, we challenge you to consider it a covenant instead of a contract.

A contract is a self-serving and comes with limited liability.  It establishes a time frame for certain deliverables to be met and accomplished.  A Covenant is to the benefit of others and comes with unlimited responsibility.  It has no expiration date.  It is "till death do us part."  A contract can be broken with mutual consent.   A covenant is inteded to be unbreakable.   

yeah..I like this. Perhaps I will start over..or try to remember what I have learned and just keep living by it.  Either way, it will be good for me and him both.
