DH & I rented the movie Fireproof, starring Kirk Cameron {swoon}, awhile ago and loved it! Then one day at story time I noticed this book on display. I browsed through it and ended up taking it home. There are a few things mentioned in the book that I disagree with from an Orthodox perspective but overall it seems to be pretty good.

Here's a sneak peek for those of you who haven't seen the movie.

Granted some of the acting is not top notch but overall the movie was excellent and you quickly look past the couple not-s0-good actors.

I think one of my favorite parts was the bad advice the wife was getting from her friends who were trying to "help". It's so true! When things get rough most people run straight to the divorce attorney's office. Marriage is about love, patience and WORK! No matter how great a relationship, every marriage needs to be nurtured.

The book gives you a 40 day challenge to do just that. I can't wait! DH and I agreed to take turns taking the challenge every so often. Corny? I think not! I think I'll start on Monday! Anyone else up for the challenge?

I think it's really nice to see a hit movie encouraging couples to make Christ the center of their marriage. That's the only real way to Fireproof marriage!
