I loved this movie. It is one of change. Change from not keeping the marriage covenant to being faithful.Change from thinking about yourself first to putting others first.It shows the heartache of a marriage that has problems and the heartache of trying to mend those problem. It also shows the joy that can come from love.It shows how destructive lust and infidelity can be to a marriage.There are so many things I love about this movie.**Talking points - Is viewing pornography being unfaithful to your spouse and your marriage? Does selfishness lead to greater selfishness? Does kindness lead to love? Can people change? Can love that is lost be rebuilt? Can trust that is lost be reestablished? What are you doing now that weakens your marriage and makes your marriage vulnerable? What can you do to protect your marriage? What can you do to mend your marriage?
... View MoreRebuilding a marriage that seems lost is no easy task. In many cases many consider it impossible but this movie offers one way of dealing with the process. Although a little unrealistic, it is within the realm of possibility. It's my opinion that there are too many of these kinds of movies that have a 'happy' ending where things turn out like they're supposed to. In real life, that isn't always the case.Wanted to give it a 10 because it has such good messages but it wasn't very well done. Would like to see a story that would help families that deal with the same subject but where it doesn't turn out well in the end. The website says that about 50% of people married will suffer a divorce. I know there are a lot of people that could use help rebuilding they're lives after a divorce. Right now I could use a good movie that would help a little boy that lost his mom, leaving him an orphan.

View MoreIs your marriage considered fireproof?Well,we have this Christian movie with some suggestions to have it characterized as such.The Kendrick Brothers - Alex and Stephen -released this Christian film entitled "Fireproof".It stars Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea.It tells the story of a couple - Caleb and Catherine - who are at the brink of separation and divorce after constant arguments and fighting that have characterized their marriage.Caleb,a fireman by profession,decided to save their marriage and give it chance to survive once more time with a Christian-based experiment known as "Love Dare" coming from his religious father.Will the marriage survive?Well,I think that I should have not asked that question considering that the viewer knows the answer to that when Caleb was in Day 1 of his 40-day experiment.Although it was only Caleb who seemed interested in saving the marriage which I felt wasn't really good in the plot and it was obviously a Christian movie which will definitely turn off viewers who are non-believers,I think that the movie did well in its presentation of how to save a marriage that is about to break.We get to see Caleb's sincerity in giving it another try.Also,I admire the determination he showed.The Christian viewer will definitely see how God was working on him to help save the marriage that probably has no chance whatsoever to hang on considering that Catherine is already looking forward to signing the papers and a relationship with a doctor/co-worker named Gavin.There truly is nothing impossible for the Lord our God especially when it is in His will for the marriage to survive.This Christian movie will definitely inspire young couples to have a strong marriage and to have the Lord involved in it through prayer and scripture reading.

You don't have to be a believer to enjoy this film. Anyone who enjoys watching LMN for example will see a variety of movies that may or may not contain faith in God. But, the storyline is so much a contemporary situation namely a young married couple who have drifted apart. Different goals in life, different levels of faith (or none at all) and of course limited financial resources to satisfy both of their needs and desires. Kurt Cameron is spot-on in this role, no one could have been better. The actress playing his wife does a great job as well. I believe in this crazy mixed up world this movie sends a strong message to the believers and the unbelievers that married people should always consider counseling even if it's only one of the two that's committed to saving the marriage. As with AA, folks are encouraged to see the help of a "higher-power" and that makes perfect sense to me.
