Day 5-Politeness
While we all have a tendency to be rude at times, the Love Dare definitely is not about continuing that “tradition.” Instead, politeness should flavor the words pouring from your mouth. I know that when I am grouchy (most of the time), it is very hard not to be rude and hurtful, even when it’s mean in jest.
The challenge for the day (a tough one!) is to ask your spouse to name a few things about you that bother them. The kicker is that you cannot respond. Not a peep. Just listen, be thoughtful of the responses you receive, and use them to change how you act toward your spouse.
