Day 38 - Love Fulfills Dreams

Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.
—Psalm 37:4


God designed your wife. He gave her traits and quirks. She has talents and passions that He picked out for her. He was dreaming big dreams for her even before she was born. And He put some of those dreams in her heart as well.

And due to all of those things and a lot more, she has dreams.

How long has it been since you asked her about her dreams? Man, this love dare doesn't quit messing with you, does it? Then let's fix it, beginning today.


TODAY’S DARE

Begin making your wife's dreams come true. First, ask yourself what your wife would want if it was obtainable. Commit this to prayer, and start mapping out a plan for meeting some (if not all) of her desires, to whatever level you possibly can.

Later today, ask your wife about her dreams. What does she dream of for her life? Finish school? An addition to the house? Opportunity to truly enjoy her favorite hobby? Some women have a martyr complex and will tell you they just want everyone else to be happy. If that's your wife then you'll have to prod a little harder with the questions to get to the answer. Once you do get a few dreams out of her, let her know they are also important to you. Even if you could care less about them on the surface, they matter deeply to you because they are her dreams! Then tell her you want to begin praying about them with her and developing a plan to help her realize her dreams!
