I asked my husband to go to see it, this weekend. He stated he was tired and might fall asleep during the movie (he was on day 7 of his work week). I was worried he would complain that it was too cheesy, as he is drawn toward movies with high body counts. As I reached for my third tissue, during the movie, I noticed my husband surreptitiously swiping tears away. We went out to dinner, afterwards. I resisted the temptation to gush about the movie and share my own impression. I was thrilled, when he started sharing his own impression, how he really like the movie and the message. Hallelujah!!
On a side note, my sister was married, this weekend, in Albany (where most of my family lives). One of my new brother-in-law's friends stood up with him. He is in the movie with several other's my sister and brother-in-law is friends with. Small world!!
I love the movie and the message.

My husband and I saw the movie this weekend. We have a very strong marriage and will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in January... Yet, because we're human, we're not perfect and although, pretty close, our marriage is not perfect either. We purchased the Love Dare book and will be starting it together soon so that the next 25 years will be even better than the first.
We treated our son and daughter-in-law to the movie to give them extra tools to continue building their strong marriage.
I recommend all married or engaged couples see this. I'm even encouraging our 19 year old son to see it. I told him "Some day you'll be married, and there are tools there to help you build a strong marriage from the start."
Thanks for this wonderful movie!

WHAT ELSE CAN BE SAID BUT WOW!!!
THROWING OUT THE "D" WORD JUST THE OTHER DAY, RELUCTANTLY MY FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC HUSBAND AND I TOOK A DAY TO GET AWAY. FIGHTING OVER WHICH THEATER TO GO TO, HE PULLED UP MOVIES ON HIS PHONE TRAVELING THERE. I HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS MOVIE AT ALL. BUT WITH A MOVIE ABOUT A FIREFIGHTER AND A TROUBLED MARRIAGE, STARRING KIRK CAMERON- HOW COULD YOU GO WRONG?
I DIDN'T THINK MY HUSBAND WOULD AT ALL BE INTERESTED WHEN HE LEARNED IT WAS FAITH BASED. TRUTHFULLY THE FIRST FEW MINUTES I THINK HE WAS PLAYING ON HIS PHONE AND TRYING TO NAP-LOL! BUT WOW! THIS MOVIE HIT SO VERY CLOSE TO HOME FOR US.IN SOME WAYS THAT IS.WE LAUGHED AND CRIED AT VARIOUS POINTS. WE INTEND ON PROMOTING IT TO EVERYONE WE KNOW. LUCKILY FOR US OUR CHURCH PASTOR AND TWO CHRISTIAN CITY COMISSIONERS ARE ALSO FIREFIGHTERS. GO SEE THE MOVIE, THEN ORDER THE LOVE DARE JOURNAL.WE JUST DID.

My husband and I saw Fireproof tonight. Wow! What a great movie!
Our relationship has been rocky for the last 8 months due to unemployment issues. We love each other but have had short fuses lately. This movie changed our way of thinking. We haven't been to church in several months but will start back now and with new hope.

I am so thankful to God for speaking to me through an individual on this site. It’s so amazing how He works. I plan to take the “Love Dare”, and rather than think about what the end results will be, whether I’ll be a better person or worse off, I vow to take it one day at a time. Please pray my strength.
God’s Favor, Strength & Peace.
P.S. Thank you to that certain individual that sent me a comment last night and allowed God to use them to speak to me. I pray God’s Blessings for you and your husband.

My wife of 13 years had handed me divorce papers on the Monday evening before the movie came out. The script for the movie could have been written about us. We are both good people, we were just not being good to each other. I got a call from a friend on Saturday insisting that my wife and I go see this movie. I was afraid to even ask her, but I did.
We went to the afternoon movie on Sunday. WOW, it was us on the screen.
We went home and talked about a lot of things and both said that we were sorry. We decided to stay together, to start going to church together again, and to treat each other the way we should have been all along. My wife called her lawyer on Monday and told him that she didn't want a divorce and I did the same. We ordered The Love Dare book for both of us on Tuesday and the marriage kit as well. Thank you so much for showing us that we aren't the only couple with the problems that these people had and for giving us a new direction to go in. I love my wife and am looking forward to our new life together!

I found this site just cruising on the net looking for marriage resources. I too like the other individuals find myself sitting in a marital crisis. Even just watching the trailer, I felt like that was my husband and I on the screen. This is so encouraging. Everyday I study and work on the lessons for application. It teaches me to look at myself instead of pointing in my spouses direction. It hasnt been easy. Seems like I am the only one in my marriage willing to work.
I pray to God for Strength and Direction. I thank God for revealing this website and book to me for my use.
God is Good All the Time and He's Got it All in Control!
