Fireproof

I have been out of the blogging grove for a bit here, but I wanted to make sure to give a big 2 thumbs up and recommendation for the movie Fireproof. Doug and I went on a date - I guess it was last Friday, first we went to Cheesecake Factory, our current favorite place and had some super yummy food. Then we went to see the movie as we had heard great things about it. It lived up and surpassed the expectations.

Or if that doesn't work - this is a brief synopsis of the plot: At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules. After seven years of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that Catherine wishes she had never married. As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment he calls “The Love Dare.” When Caleb discovers the book’s daily challenges are tied into his parents’ newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened. Is it too late to fireproof his marriage? Caleb Holt’s job is to rescue others, but now he has to face his toughest job ever … rescuing his wife’s heart.

Doug and I cried and laughed the whole way through! This is one that I would strongly encourage you to go see in the theaters. And we usually see about 1 movie a year if that tells you anything. It will encourage your faith and your love for your spouse. Even if you aren't married, it is a great movie!
