Fireproof, the movie

in Parenting after a Loss

Has anyone else seen this?  DH and I watched it on Valentine's Day and are starting a Sunday School class based on the Love Dare, which I'm really excited about.

Yesterday I tried the Day 1 challenge of not saying anything negative to DH and it was really refreshing!  I think I slipped up by the end of the night, but DH was totally trying to catch me slipping up, so I say he brought it on himself;)

If you haven't seen the movie, it's a really refreshing approach to strengthening your marriage, whether you're going through a difficult stretch or are in a great place.  It is Christian-based, but follows many principles that any marriage could benefit from, regardless of religious beliefs.

And it's #3 on the Top 10 list!

    My DH and I saw it...and yes, it was a great movie! Your class sounds like fun...I wish our church would do something like that! :) I think my DH and I could use some of those lessons right now...I feel like everything is about Jax right now (which is wonderful) but our relationship feels a little distant...which I am hoping will change after we can start being intimate again! :)

    I went to the website and there was a link to the actual Love Dare book... I didn't realize it was real.  It looks like the whole movie was based on something a real church did.  Pretty cool.

    The link is fireproofmymarriage.com and links to other helpful pages.  I'm hoping we do follow the LD book in this class.  You should see if you can find it to buy!

    I'm reading "The Love Dare" and I totally messed up the first day! I'm an awful wife... but I figure that's why I'm doing this. To change my ways. :)

    DH and I watched it a couple of weekends ago...I really liked it!  I agree that it's a refreshing approach to strengthening your marriage, regardless of whether or not you are struggling in it :)

    My parents are very big is something called Marriage Encounter.  They were promoting this movie big time, and one weekend while I was pregnant and my husband was away, the local Marriage Encounter community was having a sneak preview of the movie, so I went with my parents and saw it.  The idea was to get people to like it before it actually came out, so that when it was in the movies, people would talk about it and recommend it to their friends.  I thought it was a really good movie.  The love dare book was written based on the movie, and there is a Baptist version, and a Catholic version will be coming out soon.  Also, did you know that all of the actors in the movie were volunteers, except for Kirk Cameron?  And, Kirk Cameron is so devoted to his wife (IRL) that when he kissed the wife in the movie (last seen in the firehouse), he wouldn't kiss the actor.  It was his real wife that he was kissing.

    Anyway, I loved the movie, and I'm thrilled to see that other people liked it too!
