Fireproof

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. Growing up, Catherine Holt always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter...just like her daddy. Now, after seven years of marriage, Catherine wonders when she stopped being "good enough" for her husband. Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have readied them both to move on to something with more sparks. As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: "The Love Dare." Wondering if it's even worth the effort, Caleb agrees-for his father's sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the books daily challenges are tied into his parents' newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened. While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, "How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?" When his father explains that this is the love Christ shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. And, "with God's help" he begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife. But is it too late to fireproof his marriage? His job is to rescue others. Now, Caleb Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever ... rescuing his wife's heart.

    Marriages need fireproofing

    This film, made mainly by first time actors is amazing for such a low budget. In the US it Opened as the No. 4 movie last September

    Stayed in the top 10 for weeks and was the top-grossing independent film of 2008. It stayed in the overall DVD top 10 for more than a month.

    But it is probably more amazing because of the impact it has had on marriages. I think it is worth the risk of watching even if you are not married, but if you are and want it to stay together, then this is both a very entertaining film and also a film that has had very positive benefits.

    The critics in the UK won't like it as it has an openly Christian content, but then what is so wrong with that?

    I have bought two copies of this DVD and am lending it to anyone I can. I think it is worth getting excited about and that is why I have spent time writing this review. I really hope they make more films with such a positive message.
