Fireproof

This was an awesome movie!!! NOT for little kids though. I'd say its probably appropriate for teens though. It is totally clean but the subject matter is of an adult nature.

This movie deals with marriage, adultery, pornography, lust, covetousness, selflessness, love, commitment, and respect. It is about a husband and wife who have grown apart and are ready to get divorced. The husband's father steps in and asks "is there any part of you that wants to save this marriage?". He then challenges his son to wait 40 days before getting the divorce. He then sends his son a journal called the "Love Dare". Each day for 40 days it tells him something to do to try and win his wife back. She rejects him at every turn. Finally he realizes that he has been rejecting God despite all of God's efforts to win him, and he turns to the Lord.

There were 3 very intense scenes in the movie, a fight between husband and wife, a car on a train track with an on coming train, and a house fire rescue. The one with the fight was the hardest to watch I think. It was much more intense than I expected. It gave me a sinking feeling. I don't think I've ever witnessed a fight like that. Not that I recall anyway. (Thank the Lord!).

I would recommend this movie to anyone who is married or getting married, or hopes to get married one day!

The most important and life changing message in this movie is the one of Jesus Christ and the salvation that He offers. The story in this movie may be fictional, but the message of Jesus is as real as it gets!
