"Love is Unconditional"

Day 10 Love Dare:

Do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse-something that proves (to you and to them) that your love is based on your choice and nothing else. Wash her car. Clean the kitchen. Buy his favorite dessert. Fold the laundry. Demonstrate love to them for the sheer joy of being their partner in marriage.

This addiction really shows you need unconditional love. If you just love your spouse when its easy and they are being who you want them to be and doing what you want them to do, its not unconditional. Don't we all crave to be loved unconditionally? Isn't that one of the reasons we love babies? They love us no matter what we do. Even if we sing to them off key they love us and accept us for who we are. I think one of the reasons our spouses get so enmeshed in pornography is they don't feel unconditional love. I know for my husband he never felt loved by his parents. Every human needs to feel loved. So I think this is a perfect challenge for me to show my  husband I love him in spite of  his faults. I have faults and I want to be unconditionally loved too. "The truth is this: love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love." The Love Dare pg. 46


I really believe love is a choice. Once the infatuation wears off you need to decide to love that person and work at it.This is Christ  like love. He loves us regardless of what we do. He is a loving person. We must become a loving person too. In this I know I need the Lords help.
