For the record, I have to agree with you. I think it could actually put a rift between FI and I if we tried, but then again, we don''t have those kind of problems. Drastic circumstances, call for drastic measures?Date: 2/11/2009 10:40:26 AM

Isn''t this the book that challanges you to have sex for like 100 days...no breaks?
If that is what it is, IMO, that''s impossible. Both Mark and I travel for work, we''re tired many nights...we have lives beyond the bedroom. Of course intimacy is important, and highly valued within our marriage, but I think that sometimes trying to hard can turn sex into work--which is, lets be honest, no fun.
For me, I''d rather have quality over quanity. We''re lovely everyday regardless.

The book was featured in the movie Fireproof. It''s adding a little something everyday (for 40 days) to the way you treat your SO to make the relationship better. I haven''t tried it myself, but I have heard great things about it.

That actually sounds much more realistic than the other. I think that anything that makes you more conscious of your spouse or partner and more appreciative of them is probably a good thing and will help your relationship, most likely, though I don''t think it has to be religious (or sexual) in nature.

I''m really surprised that such a book exists.
ireproof Your Marriage Couple''s Study plus 2 Love Dare Bundle

Combine the power of The Love Dare with a Fireproof study on the Biblical concepts of unconditional love, freedom from temptation and the differences between men and women.
I''m a cultural Catholic, and I''m 23. And I understand and support the Biblical concepts of unconditional love. I''m surprised that this book exists for supposedly devout people, who have probably had the Biblical concepts of unconditional love drilled into them since they were 3 years old, or, at least, they converted, so they should be pretty into this stuff. I''m surprised that the people in the intended audience of the book are ... getting married(?) without knowing or understanding unconditional love, or that they can get so caught up in life or whatever that they forget, or get caught up in ''temptations,'' yet can still go to church once a week. When I was with my my ex (you know, the dood I used to love a lot,) my first thought EVERY day when I woke up was of him, and every night, my last thought was of him. Replace those lower case h in him to the big H Him, and that would be comparable to some people''s religious devotion. That might not be for everyone, but that did teach me the merits of a major world religion that has existed for 2000 years.
Haven''t read the book... I mean, if you''re familiar with the concepts of love that are advertised in the book, I don''t think you would need it, other than as an exercise/practice/workbook. As with religion, one just has to believe. Faith, devotion, adoration, worship, and unconditional love... these are concepts of other major religions, not just Christianity. I''m not religious at all, but I believe in love. And at the bottom of both is some kind of basic faith or trust, the kernel from which all the other things will flow.
