Review of "Fireproof"

We went to see the movie Fireproof (Trailer here).  Our church and a bunch of friends recommended seeing it and we thought it was a pretty good movie with a great message.
Take it from us...marriage isn't easy.  It takes a lot of work, patience, understanding, and an AWESOME God who shows us what love really looks like.  We highly recommend seeing it if it is playing in a movie theatre near you.
Kirk Cameron stars as the Captain of a Fire House.  His wife works as a Public Relations person for a local hospital.  When the movie starts it is quickly made obvious their marriage is in shambles.  When his wife asks for a divorce, Kirk Cameron talks to his parents who give him a book "The Love Dare" that offers tips to save his marriage.
It is fun to watch him try some of the things and funny/painful to watch his wife respond / not respond.  By the end of the movie we all learn the importance of demonstrating our love as well as having a better understanding of the love our Heavenly Father has for us.  Invite your friends...saved or unsaved.  It's a great message...even if not the highest quality movie you'll see this year!!
