love dare day 15

Its been a busy day.........day 13, 14, and 15 all completed today. Today was about honoring my spouse. After reading, I really started to think about how little I really honor my husband. Its not that I try to dishonor him, or than I even do dishonor him really. Its that I don't take the time to truly honor him. Today I chose to do just that. I wouldn't let anything interrupt us when we were talking. I didn't let anything distract me from giving him my full attention. I looked him in the eye and focused on everything he said to me. I touched him more, kissed him more and tried to make him know that he was the most important person in my life. The only thing more important is God. I tried to make him feel like a king. I made him breakfast and took him out for lunch(even though it was Costco hot dogs). I told him how much I love him over and over again. As I've said before, he knows I'm doing the love dare, so he doesn't react to the degree I think someone who didn't know would. But at the same time, he smiled more today. That works for me. How do we get to this place where we take each other so much for granted that we no longer show our love? Oh from time to time we do, but its not an all day every day kind of thing like when we first fell in love. Sometimes I feel like that 19 year old girl again, head over heels in love with my man........that's how I want it to always be. I think we're on the right track to getting there all the way. Have I mentioned how very much I love my husband?!
