I have a short fuse. I let my anger get the best of me emotionally and I find myself getting worked up over simple things all the time. My wife seems to get the real brunt of my emotional discontent. I tend to take things out on her that have nothing to do with her. I know she is not my punching bag and I know that she deserves much better than what I have given.
Today is October 13, 2012 and technically this is the third day, I refuse to take this dare lightly and so I have yet to check off my first day. The first dare requires you to not say anything negative to your wife all day. I have yet to do that so I must have a full day before I can move on. Today is going well so far, haven't really had a chance to speak with her much. Hopefully I will be able to sum up the strength to treat her with the respect that she deserves. I love my wife dearly and I hate that I find myself letting life's little problems dictate how I will speak to my wife. She is always kind and sweet and I want do right by her and return the same kind of love. The key to today is not just to spend one whole day not saying anything negative it's to start a pattern of not speaking negative to my spouse ever.
Fights will come but it's how we speak to each other that make a fight a discussion or a brawl. Keeping the "gloves" off and the heart open is how we should react and treat each other....
