- The Love Dare: A 40-Day Challenge for Husbands and Wives to Understand and Practice Unconditional Love - Includes Free Online Marriage Evaluation

I have not finished this book, but let me tell you, it contains principles that you can put to work in your every day life with everyone. This book is amazing for the soul. It's great for introspection: am I really as good as I think I am? am I really as loving? what can I work on? what bothers me and why? These questions come up (not in the book) when you're thinking about the "dares" that they give to you. The first dare is to not say anything negative to your spouse, and if you feel the need to, don't say anything at all. My husband and I are happily married and incredibly in love, but I see that not all couples are still like this, so this book is awesome for them. I got it because I know there are times where I can be insensitive to his feelings and needs and I write it off as me being hormonal-- but in the end, I realize that I still hurt him and it broke my heart that I could ever act in a less than loving way. Even though we aren't like the couple in the movie (have you seen the movie Fireproof? Watch it with something to wipe your tears on near by!), I still feel that everything I am learning in this book is definitely applicable. What's nice is there are 40 days in this book, which has Biblical significance. Even if you're not religious or don't read the Bible, I would still recommend this book to anyone because it does touch on the needs of the soul (even if you don't think you have one, it still touches something!). Give this book a try. If your marriage is slowly depleting, if you feel that your spouse isn't as responsive or kind to you as before, if you want to make sure that your beautiful marriage stays as loving and as happy as it is now, try this book out. I originally bought this book when my husband and I first got married, and I didn't take it too seriously because... Well I never struggled with the issues the book brought up and I thought I didn't need it. Even though we are still in love, I can say that you get "too comfortable" and may not treat them as nicely as you did when you first got married, but this book keeps you in check and reminds you why you fell in love in the first place. It makes you a bit more grateful for your spouse or loved one. If you feel like you could use a little bit more love in your life and don't have a spouse or boyfriend, this book is good for this as well. Not everything will apply, but it gives great insight. I totally recommend it to everyone. It's not that much and it could save your marriage or relationship.

Bought 2, for my sons when they get married.

I have thought about 20 of these. It’s a must read for anyone.

This book was recommended to me by a friend when she found out that my fiance told me he isn't in love with me any more and broke off our long term relationship. Unfortunately, we were already at the bottom of the barrel. Things probably would have been better if I would have started the book sooner, but I have seen how the book has changed me, and in turn my changes have changed him. The book has brought us closer together. Though it hasn't got us back to dating, or engaged to be married, but when I see where we were when I started the book, to where we are now, I'm thoroughly amazed. We had one thing going for our relationship, in that we are living together - I imagine it would be very difficult to complete the Love Dare if you didn't live together, but it is possible - there is support from the online community on how to make this happen. The book is written for an audience of couples that are married, and talks about marriage all through the book, but 95% of the book can work for those in very committed relationships, as well. Instead of carrying out the exercises that are really intended for married couples, pray on those exercises. If you finish the book and haven't repared your relationship, start it over again. The book talks about a persistent man who restarted the book 3 times before his wife decided to get back together with him. It's interesting to see how your perspective has changed the second time around, and how things have improved. There are places after each of the 40 exercises in the book to journal about it. I have purchased this book 4 times now. Twice for myself, once for my father, and once for a friend. This will become my go-to wedding present in the future, together with the movie Fireproof (which talks about the Love Dare.) Believe in the power of this book.

Amazing and great quality

Honestly, I am usually not a huge fan of books like this, but this one was very different. I found myself looking forward to reading it with my wife each day as we went through it. Even more helpful was watching to movie "Fireproof" prior to beginning the 40 days of the Love Dare. The movie is a bit cheesy, but we enjoyed it enough to be excited about the Love Dare. When we started the book together, though, we found it to be an effective tool for a newly married couple (though I would imagine any married couple could get a lot out of it). The thing I found most helpful about this book was that it helps create experiences for my wife and I. It made me more aware and intentional about practical actions I can take in order to strengthen and grow our connection as a newly married couple. Each day didn't just give a devotional reading with Scripture, it also gave a daily challenge to make the principle practical and tangible. This is enormously helpful for a guy like me who looks for action items and "to do's". All in all, I highly recommend this as a tool for newly married couples, whether Christian or not, because it can only add strength and stability to your marriage.

Just what the doctor ordered

The Love Dare has been an absolute blessing for my wife and me! From the moment we started reading, we realized this book is more than just words—it’s a transformative journey that challenges and strengthens your marriage in ways you never expected. Each day’s dare provides practical, heartfelt guidance to help build deeper love, understanding, and patience. It’s not just about surface-level actions—it encourages real, meaningful change by helping couples grow closer, communicate better, and love unconditionally. One of the things I love most is how this book is rooted in faith and biblical principles, reminding us that love is a choice and a commitment, not just a feeling. The daily challenges are eye-opening and powerful, encouraging us to be more selfless, patient, and intentional in our relationship. Since starting The Love Dare, I’ve noticed a positive shift in how my wife and I interact. It has strengthened our bond, deepened our appreciation for each other, and reminded us of the true meaning of love. If you’re looking for a way to revive, restore, or strengthen your marriage, I highly recommend this book. It’s truly a must-read for any couple, whether newlyweds or decades into marriage. ❤️🙏✨

The product quality is very good and it was delivered on time. Content is also very wonderful for couples. It is a must read for all couples who would want to make progress in their relationship.

If you are even only thinking of getting this book, stop thinking and get it immediately! It has been an incredible blessing to my marriage in a very practical way

The Love Dare is not just a book to us — it truly saved our love and changed the course of our lives. Because of this book, the man who once dared to fight for our relationship is now my husband, and we have been happily married for over 7 years. Our journey with The Love Dare began when we first watched the movie “Fireproof” together while we were still boyfriend and girlfriend. (The movie talks about A dedicated firefighter's marriage is about to end in divorce, but just when hope seems to be running out, his father intervenes with a plan). At the time, we didn’t know how deeply that story would one day impact our own relationship. Like many couples, we went through a very hard season. Our relationship struggled, and we eventually separated. During that time, my boyfriend (who is now my husband) remembered the book mentioned in Fireproof. He searched for The Love Dare and decided to follow it, not as a way to demand love, but as a way to change himself first and learn how to love with patience, humility, and actions. Each day’s challenge may seem simple, but it is incredibly powerful. This book teaches you to love unconditionally, even when emotions are weak or wounds are deep. It focuses on respect, kindness, forgiveness, and choosing love as a daily decision. That journey brought us back together, stronger and more grounded than before. Today, he is my husband, and The Love Dare continues to be something we look back on with gratitude. Even after 7+ years of marriage, the lessons from this book still guide us — especially during challenging moments. This book is not a quick fix, and it’s not always easy. It requires honesty, humility, and commitment. But if both hearts are willing, it can truly transform a relationship. If you are struggling, separated, or simply want to build a stronger foundation for your relationship or marriage, I wholeheartedly recommend watching the movie Fireproof and read The Love Dare. For us, it wasn’t just a book — it was the beginning of a lifelong commitment and a love that chose to endure.

This does not only help marriages but makes you a better person!!!
