Fireproof

I'm not one to promote movies on here. In fact, I'm not a really big movie buff. But, I saw the trailor for this movie "Fireproof" and I am so excited about it coming out. It is a movie with huge Christian influence, starring Kirk Cameron. I would encourage anyone who is married or who is ever thinking about getting married to go see it. I think marriage is in trouble in this country and has been for quite some time. No-one really talks about it because people don't ever want to admit that they have issues or that they are unhappy. Brian and I had a little rough spot back earlier this year and I thought I was the only one in the world who had the feelings I was having. I got the book "Every Woman's Marriage" and it changed the way I dealt with the issues I was having. Then, after talking to several women about it, I found that almost every one of them had these same problems and fears and wondered why no-one ever addresses it. I think we just get so involved in raising our kids that our marriage gets neglected and then when the kids are old enough to be independent and don't need us as much, we look at our spouse and think "Who are you and where did our marriage go?" Some people choose to work on the issues and some take the divorce route. We get bored with the same person and we get tired of their little annoying habits and we decide we may want something new. We just need to remember that temptation is the Devil's strongest tool used to destroy us. When we can make it through the hard times, we get rewarded for that with a stronger, more meaningful relationship. I hope that Christians and non-Christians alike go to see this movie. I think it has the potential to change lives. This Friday morning Dr. Phil is going to be interviewing the actors/actresses from this movie and although I am not a huge Dr. Phil fan, I plan to TIVO that show so I can see what they have to say about the message they want to send. Anyway- keep it in mind for a date night you may have after it's release. And if you don't do date nights, start- it's a great way to reconnect!
