Fireproof

Chris and I have been married for 8 years, 2 months and about 9 days. Really I'm not counting, I had to figure that out. :o)



In those 8+ years and 1.5 years of dating we have never gone to see a movie together. Pretty amazing huh? Well, Monday night we left the troops at home with cardboard pizza and left in the mini van. We made our way to the long forsaken territory. After getting past the sticker shock and discussing the 75 cent matinae's we used to attend (feeling a little old at this point) we cautiously made our way to the popcorn counter. We stood in line behind the guy that might as well not been wearing pants because most of his boxers were visible and he had to hold the pants to keep from loosing them, and were entertained by rockin music videos. The sticker shock of the popcorn was lessened as we had become a little acclimatized to this experience. The next shock was that as we sat down in the theater we were "entertained" with commercials. Now that's a new one!



The movie we saw is called Fireproof. All I am going to say is that if you are married go see it. If you hope to be married some day, go see it. You will not regret it. Even with the commercials.



Chris and I probably won't be going to a movies any time soon again. Not that we did not enjoy the experience, we do need to get out of our little bubble once in awhile. It is just there are not any movies worth seeing. This is another reason you need to see this movie. We need to support what is good. We need these kind of movies that show people what God's desire for life and marriage is. This movie portrays the healing of a very bad marriage, God's way. Just think what positive impact movies like this could have. Many people won't set foot in a Church but will go see a movie. I am not one who believes much in media driven religion but I do see how this can touch people and change lives. Even of those of us who love God and try to make our marriage work.



Go see it and after you recover financially get the "Love Dare" book.



Blessings,
