"do It Already!"

But when your attempts at honor go unreciprocated, you are to be honorable just the same, seeking ways to give honor to your mate. That’s what love dares to do—to say, “Of all the relationships I have, I will value ours the most. Of all the people for whom I’m willing to sacrifice, I will sacrifice the most for you. With all your failures, sins, mistakes, and faults—past and present—I still choose the God-honoring way to a better marriage and a better life. I choose to love and honor you.” That’s how you create an atmosphere in your marriage for love to be rekindled. That’s how you lead dishonor out the door and then lead your heart to truly love your mate again. That’s the beauty of honor. TODAY'S DARE Choose to begin showing greater honor to your spouse above your normal tendency. Begin by listening more attentively and respectfully to your husband or wife.
