So I got home from work and started watching the movie. Very inspiring... I got misty eyed during the rescues, I got misty eyed during the love dares. (They were Manly tears).. I saw allot if myself in both characters in the movie. The movie ended and my W got home about 10 min's later. I had made sure son had his homework done and I had all the dishes clean. She opened the door and I said "There she is. How's my working woman doing?" she said "I'm tired" I said "I bet, How did it go?" She said she read allot and it was kind of boring today because nothing was set up for her. But then she stood there and told me all about it for the next half hour. She was trying to not act excited but I could tell she was. Then her sister called and wanted to know how it went and then the phone rang again and the caller ID said it was her friend. She kind of went GRRRRR. (She reminded me of a kid at his B-day party having to keep getting up to answer the door. Like acting like it bothered him but knowing he was excited to do it. Ya know what I mean? So after I told wife I was going to the book store. When I got there.... YOU GUESSED IT.. They had ONE copy of "Fireproof" left. I got it. Soooo Yes I am going to take the challenge.... 40 days............what do I have to lose?

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
lol oldtimer knows you well. I'm glad the movie inspired you....you'd have to be dead inside for it not to really. Your W sounds like she is getting in a good place. Her depression affects all of her being. THis may help.
All good, just don't "accidentally" leave the book or video lying around...
I put the movie away in the cabinet and I am keeping the book in my jeep..
Going to hold off on any love dare right now. Going to let W get settled and I am going to enjoy the new attitude wife seems to have. She really seems to have come out of the semi coma she has been in these last two years, Smiling, laughing…enjoying herself...
NO Pressure right O.T.......

No, do not skip Valentine's Day. A box of chocolate or a few flowers are not that expensive and it makes a woman feel good. She is not likely to throw it in your face. Just because she said she doesn't want to have sex doesn't mean she doesn't still want to be a person who counts in your life.
These are subtle differences that occur in the mind of our friend, the doc. They are still married and living together, and he would like nothing better than for her to admit to feeling something stir within her for him. He is working on both mentally separating and moving to divorce while simultaneously doing the Fireproof love dares. Our sweet doc just wants some warmth and attention. If it can't come from his wife, then he understands that the day will come when he has to look elsewhere for it. But that day is not before February 14 of this year.
So my advice is to be nice and warm to the woman in the house. She finally has a smile on her face. Things could improve at home. But to not notice Valentine's day would ensure that things will not improve at home.
