Fireproof - how to improve your marriage

I watched an interesting movie last night and I thought I'll write a bit about it since I haven't been posting for a while. The movie is called "Fireproof" (2008, with Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea), and it's a film with a very clear message. Definitely worth watching, especially for those who are married, as it can give us all something to think about.

As the saying goes, it takes two to tango, and when there are problems in a relationship the fault is never solely on the part of one person. Seeing that men and women are so different and often don't understand each other, it's a worthy investment to get to know each other well and keep learning and re-discovering the things that are important to the other person--one of the things that the movie brings out nicely. I won't write much about the plot of the movie, since you can see it in the trailer below, but I encourage you to see it if you have a chance. It has a good Christian message, well woven together with the basics of human psychology and basic, but important marriage counseling tips. A happy ending, too, which is important to me since I don't like movies with sad endings that much Smile.

So, if you'd like to better your relationship or renew your marriage, watch this movie, it's a good starting point! And then, don't forget to follow through and implement the counsel! Of course, asking Jesus for help, since that's the most important ingredient in making it work! Good luck with making your marriage better!

I saw that movie too and it was really sweet and shared a lot of truth, marriage can seem really difficult at times. My husband and I have gone through a lot but we have just passed our 12th anniversary in April and we still love each other. Thanks for posting that.

Very interesting!! It actually shows another common problem: when one part tries to do something sweet because he/she wants to, the other part is thinking: "Why is he/she acting so sweet? What's going on?" and they end up suspicious instead of appreciative...

You've given us all something to think about, Ang! ;-)
