The Love Dare by Alex Kendrick, Stephen Kendrick (2008, Paperback)

The Love Dare is the book that goes along with the movie Fireproof, that came out in theaters in Fall 2008. Movie has a Christian theme and is about marriage.

The book contains 40 days of Biblical topics and dares for each day. There is a topic, and a reading for each day which includes scripture, a dare, a place to check off when you complete the dare, and some questions about each dare.

An example--one day is about finding a marriage mentor. The questions for that dare are: who did you choose? why did you select this person? what do you hope to learn from them?

There are lines to write answers in the book. For a couple to do this, you probably each want to get your own book. If you are the only one in your marriage who would buy or do this, you can still do it and get a lot out of it.

The themes are about honor, respect, godliness, intimacy, forgiveness, encouragement, accountability, helping your spouse achieve their dreams, and more.

It takes work, but it is a book to help you get hope back in your marriage, even starting with just one person.
