40 Days Love Dare : 40 วันพิสูจน์รัก

Day #1 - Love is Patient - Eric

Caution! If you are traveling with your spouse do not start the 40 Day Love Dare on that day.

Being patient the morning you are (together) flying out of town?????

So I made it through the first day but...

My day started off with packing for a flight with Jennifer to Hollywood for the Fireproof - National Premeir, fun right.

First she place a hot, red hot, flat iron in the suitcase as I was packing it. So when I grab it you can guest what I got, burnt. So how did I react. I simply asked the question, did you place this thing in the suitcase hot? Not sure if that is all I said but... All she said was did I melt anything? I total bit my tongue and did not say a word...

Then we are trying to leave and take the kidos to school before we head to the airport and the entire street has there trash cans out but do we, no. That this the job of Hudson our oldest and since Jennifer took him to his friends house to go to school, High School I figured she would have made sure he took the trash out, NOT!

Then we are rushing to leave and I realize that we did not need to rush but because Jennifer has set every clock in the house 5 minutes early we are fine, yes FINE. My clock in my car is the right time, so how does this make sense. She said it totally makes sense so I sure it does.

Love is patient? This was a tough one! To say the least I had to stop myself several times and just back off. I found that as the day went by it became natural to not react or not say something negative. The day with our friends in Hollywood was a blast but the lessoned learned was even better. Yes, I learned that practicing PATIENCE really makes your married life much more enjoyable.

Well, we are off to the airport again this morning and headed back to Phoenix. I will read Day #2 of the Love Dare and jump right in. I have a geat idea, I think you and your spouse need to join Jennifer and me, and take the 40 Day Love Dare challenge.

I am sure Jennifer will share her side of Day #1 with you soon...
