The Love Dare: Day 19 - Love Is Impossible

Are your expectations crushing the relationship you hoped would fulfill you? Constant criticism never inspires change—it only creates resistance and resentment in your marriage. For Day 27, Kirk illustrates that love encourages. When you focus on strengths rather than flaws, you become a complimentary wing rather than a critical anchor. By eliminating unrealistic demands, offering sincere praise, and backing up your words with consistent actions, you create space for your spouse to flourish into the person God designed them to be.

What happens when you stop blaming your spouse and take responsibility for your part? A thriving marriage requires tending like a garden—neglect leads to wilting, while proper care produces abundant fruit. For Day 26 of the Love Dare, Kirk reveals how love is responsible. We first confess our failures to God, then humbly apologize to our spouse regardless of their response. This breakthrough tears down walls of resistance and builds bridges of communication that can transform your marriage and model healthy conflict resolution for your children.

Are you holding someone captive in the prison of unforgiveness within your heart? Forgiveness doesn't declare others innocent—it simply releases you from being their judge and punisher. Refusing to forgive traps both you and your offender in a cell of bitterness. Love forgives not because the offense wasn't real, but because you've been forgiven far more by God. Kirk exhorts listeners to release others to His justice, unlocking your own freedom and creating space for healing in your relationships.

Why do we pursue forbidden pleasures when God has provided everything we need? The battle between love vs. lust rages in every marriage as we foolishly try to meet legitimate needs in illegitimate ways. Misguided affections lead down paths of destruction, just as Adam and Eve exchanged paradise for momentary pleasure. Gratitude becomes your most powerful weapon against these deceptions. In Day 24 of the Love Dare, Kirk explains how setting your heart on God's genuine satisfaction breaks you free from empty promises that never fulfill.

What can you do to protect your marriage from the enemies seeking to destroy it? Misplaced priorities, unhealthy relationships, and harmful influences all threaten to drain the life from your most sacred commitment. The parasites that attack marriages, particularly pornography addiction, create devastating impact. When love always protects, it creates boundaries against anything that would separate you from your spouse. Kirk encourages identifying these threats and dealing with them decisively before they destroy what matters most.
