Notice I didn't say, "Now that we're finished."

What is next? That's the question. Hopefully, your marriage is better than it was 40 days ago. If you really took this dare to heart I can pretty much guarantee it's better - even if it was good before. Better, but not perfect. A marriage, a great one at least, is a process, a journey. So this last 40 days was a great part of the journey. But instead of seeing it merely as a part of the journey, see it as the part that makes everything else that follows it better.

So let's review, but personally. What was the most challenging part of the dare for you? What was the most enjoyable? What part of it had the most profound impact on you and your marriage? (I'd really like you to share some of the answers by comment)

Here are my last dares for you. First, answer those three questions. Look back through the dares again if you need to. But answer those questions and redo those dares, on your own.

Second, don't lose this blog address. Back up and review it again and again. And especially if you ever sense a lack of unity in your marriage or begin to feel distant from your wife, start over and do every single day. You are the man. No one else can make your marriage what it is supposed to be.

God's blessings on your continued efforts to grow into the husband your wife needs you to be!
