The Love Dare

When no longer.................................................In
Love, you feel in...............................................Addition
To this problem.................................................To
Hurt, to start.....................................................Saying
Negative things.. instead, say.............................Nothing
Bad or really .....................................................Negative
But say only good..............................................To
Your former love................................................Your
Love of old, your................................................Spouse
Say, say............................................................Again
I admire you......................................................Today
For the little things thay you.................................Do
For me, acts.......................................................At
Extra cost  to you, show me that you care, at .......Least      
Some for me and my well being, at least...............One
Act you do everyday...........................................Unexpected
Acts that are a ...................................................Gesture
Of your concern..................................................As
You go about......................................................An
Ordinary day, one...............................................Act
Just one act........................................................Of
Love will reciprocate.............................................Kindness

(End line is from a book titled "Love Dare"...Try the love dare in your marriage and see what 
happens and write it down...For a woman say to a man I admire____________..For a man 
say to the woman I appreciate___________....Also do one thing extra for that person that 
they don't expect you to do...See if this starts a snowball effect of love and kindness at your 
house....This will not work in all situations but most..)

"If Only" we all know that neither, or at least only one out of the two would do such a thing. but then there are those people who feel a much deeper passion in love and have faith & believe in your words, Sara. that would be so sweet. -Always&Forever Linetsuto(lol)
