Fireproof

Last night I finally watched Fireproof. Although the acting left much to be desired, the message was powerful and overwhelming. I was moved by the story, the struggle and heartache. Not only did I relate completely, I saw much of my own relationships there on the screen. The movie shows the power that God has to heal wounds and bring strong bonds into our relationships.
I wish this movie had come out some time ago and my situation could have benefited from it. While I am Christian, I would not call myself a die hard. In the last several months however, I have definitely returned to my religious roots for forgiveness and strength and grown significantly as a result. I definitely believe that I am heading down the right path for my own healing.
This morning I called friend in California who has been going through a similar situation as me. She and her husband have been separated. I asked her to do me a favor and to rent this movie and watch it with him this weekend.
While my situation can not be helped now, I hope by sharing this message someone will benefit. I encourage you to visit this site. All the tools are there. I also call upon anyone who is on the brink of divorce or perhaps have a stale marriage to watch it too. If you are not religious and cringe at the very notion of the name God, remove the religious aspect from the movie. The concepts are there and I truly believe it will help anyone take another look at their own relationship and know it is the right thing to do by saving it.
