Day 10: Love is Unconditional

Yesterdays dare was a little difficult for me, not because I didnt know how to show unconditional love to my husband, becuase I had to go about it a different way.I show & tell my husband everyday that I love him and he knows that I mean it. With the dares,so far, have been almost easy,which i will now have to knock on wood,because I do all these things already for not just my husband but for my step daughter as well. They both have no question of my love for them. Tim and I had an arguement a while back and asked him"do you love me? and do you want to be with me?" he looked at me like I was stupid for asking that question. I then replied, you dont show that you do and I need that. I told him I would do anything for him and JIllian. then I gave him a senerio, if someone was to walk through the front door and say "one of you will die today,who will it be?" without hesitation I would tell the intruder that it was going to be me. Tim seemed a little shocked by that and at that moment,I think he realized that I loved him far greater then he could imagine. I tend to get irrated about how I am the one who does the laundry, cooks dinner every night, cleans the house and the list goes on and on and on, and that he doesnt help. Then after reading the daily devotionals, I realize that just because he may not help out all the time but he works hard and puts a roof over our head and food in our mouths and that is all that I need and that shows his love and dedication to his family better then any housework. The devotions are making me really open my eyes and try to not only utilize them in my marriage but also in my everyday life with others as well.
