Product Description
New York Times Best-Seller 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!

I just started this book and have only done the first two dares so far, but I can tell you that it has already left a very positive impact on me and my marriage. :) It has changed the way I think about my husband and made me want to put him as a priority again. I would definitely recommend this book to every married couple no matter how long they have been married. I am looking forward to continuing on the journey and completing the rest of the Love Dares. :)
You won't be disappointed.

The Love Dare
This book goes along with the movie, Fireproof, which has a Christian marriage theme. 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 unconditional love, and the questions for that day ask if this is different than you have acted in the past and how the current results are different.
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.
I highly recommend this. It is a terrific way to make baby steps toward a better marriage by doing very simple, measurable actions.
The Love Dare and Fireproof Couples Kit Helped My Marriage September 20, 2008

After going through The Love Dare and Fireproof Your Marriage Couple's Kit, my wife and I found new hope for our marriage. In a practical way, we learned how to love unconditionally and that has had priceless results on our relationship. We highly endorse The Love Dare book and recommend you get the Fireproof Your Marriage Couples Kit too. We are going to recommend the Fireproof Your Marriage Leader's Kit to our Pastor and may be our whole church will benefit from the small groups.

I was a divorce attorney for 5 or 6 years and saw hundreds of marriages come to an end--but usually for the same few reasons. This book could put divorce attorneys out of business.
 Not for every marriage October 23, 2008

To be fair, I am only on day 10 of the dare. I purposefully waited to review and intended to wait until the end, but I wanted an alternate perspective on Amazon. I am not knocking the authors or the intent, but I can't give this book 5 stars because instead of helping my marriage it's making me feel even less loved. I already do most of the things the dare has me to do for my husband. When one of the dares required me to ask him what I did that may annoy him, he answered "I don't know". There's nothing in this book about how to deal with that (again, I'm not all the way through it).
A good friend and I are both doing the Love Dare and are having similar difficulties. While we are both trying to be better spouses and be more patient, we are faced with husbands who are the antithesis to everything in this book. The Love Dare's answer to that? Love is unconditional.
If you are a patient, caring, giving, loving spouse who bends over backwards for a mate who does not return the favor, this book is likely to cause more resentful feelings between you and your spouse. (To which the book reminds you, Love is not Selfish).
If you are a selfish and whiny nag of a spouse who constantly berates your mate and expects him or her to be perfect in every way, this book will open your eyes.
I give the book three stars because either way you will learn a lot about yourself and your spouse.
