This is a movie with a good message and lots of Catholic endorsements. It starts this weekend and needs support to stay in the theaters beyond its first showing. Give it a try and let me know what you think. I will concede up front that there are some things in this marriage I would like to have seen (like children), and since it was done by evangelicals, the delivery is a bit different than we are used to, but the message is good, nevertheless, and there is enough action to keep it from just being a “chick” flick.

I saw the movie in a prescreening and was very happy to see a marriage in a film portrayed with real struggles and real people. Most movies these days insult marriage or show them as fluffy or unrealistic. This one talks boldly about covenant, sacrificial love. We got some great resources at the screening based on the movie, like a “Couple’s Kit” with clips from the movie; my husband and I enjoy doing them together very much and it gets us talking about important issues in our marriage. I found them online at http://www.fireproofoutreach.com. Hope it helps.
