Product Description
Unconditional love is eagerly promised at weddings, but rarely practiced in real life. As a result, romantic hopes are often replaced with disappointment in the home. But it doesn-t have to stay that way.
The Love Dare, as featured in the popular new movie Fireproof (from the makers of Facing the Giants), is a 40-day challenge for husbands and wives to understand and practice unconditional love. Whether your marriage is hanging by a thread or healthy and strong, The Love Dare is a journey you need to take. It-s time to learn the keys to finding true intimacy and developing a dynamic marriage. Take the dare!

 Too trite and robotic... November 22, 2008
I bought this book thinking I would be able to add to the marriage. I found myself in a robotic situations of saying and doing things on "certain days"....for the sake of the book. I wish it had something to say about doing those things already and most of those things I do already do in my marriage. So, it was no shocker to thank my husband one day or praise him on another day. I found the book to be very patronizing and too elementary for me. It may benefit people who do nothing for their marriages and think little of their spouses. For me, it was a waste...
 Powerful! November 22, 2008
Thank you to the men who wrote this book for taking the time to prayerfully and thoughtfully put these love dares together! Several times already, I have stopped right in the middle of working on this book and asked the Lord to bless these men and all who were involved with the movie "Fireproof". This is an awesome combination to bring marriage ministry into the churches who aren't sure where to start. I appreciate this work for the effect it is having on our couples and on my marriage personally!
Our small group is "Daring to Love" at this time and it is great. Couples are testifying of their breakthroughs and how there is more peace in their home and relationships. PTL!
Personally, my husband and I have been transformed by the powerful word of God as we practice this love everyday. Love Dare is a book I will go through over and over. When the forty days are up with my husband, I will use it towards others in my life, including my grown children, as applicable. Even the "special dinner night" dare could be used towards one of my single friends and her children. Then I will begin the forty days over again with my husband. "Love works no harm" so it will never hurt to do this book the rest of my life if I choose to do so.
My husband and I are so focused on receiving God's unconditional love into our lives and then giving it back to each other that it is amazing how many arguments we have avoided. We are receiving another level of healing in our relationship from the concepts in this book and it feels good!
A must for all married couples November 19, 2008
I saw the advertisement for this book at the end of the credits of the movie, "Fireproof". I ordered the book the next day. I am still in the process of living the dares, but I can honestly say that it is transforming my marriage in such a deep, positive direction. Every dare only deepens one's committment to one's spouse.
I recommend this book to those who have been married at least three years. Newlyweds should NOT use this book yet, since many marriage "speedbumps" haven't been encountered at that point in married life. (Although it wouldn't hurt to have the book on your shelf!)
Buy the book. Buy it for a friend. You'll be glad you did.
The Love Dare November 18, 2008
I had ordered the book before I went to see the movie Fireproof because I love to read; I am reading the book now but I am not writing in it because I am planning on passing it on to a friend that is having marriage problems. My husband and I have been married 25 years and have a great marriage but the book has some many good thoughts. Great book

After 15 years of marriage and three children, this simple little book helped me to remember that marriage is not just about meeting the right person, it's also about being the right person. A small time commitment over 40 days breathed now life back into our marriage. I highly recommend it to all married couples.
