Like many of you, my husband and I are movie fans! A.K.A "cuddle on the couch with a good flick after the kids are in bed fans." With the standards of Hollywood, it's not often that a movie comes out that actually is centered around morals and values faith, but I think it's a glorious event when it does happen, and I like to support those kind of film makers. So... I just wanted to mention just such a movie that my husband and I saw a while ago.
Yeah, yeah... I'll be the first to admit that it can be a little cheesy in some spots, but the message is powerful! In a nutshell, the story is about a struggling couple (Kirk Cameron is the husband) who change their lives to be the very best they can for each other...

SelfLESS vs. Selfish
Isn't that what all of us here are striving for?
You can see the trailer here and easily pick this one up on Redbox.

P.S. There is a GREAT website called The Romantic Vineyard which features ideas and resources that will help couples strengthen their marriages. They are Christian - based, which I love and a very neat couple "runs" it all. They have a webpage dedicated to the 40 Love Dare Challenges that are discussed in the movie and if you click HERE, you can read all about the challenges!
I saw this movie last year and loved it too! I was amazed at what a good actor Kirk Cameron had become over the years. (Yeah, he made me cry.) What I thought was really cool was that in real life he refuses to kiss anyone other than his wife, so during the kissing scene, his real wife stood in and they used creative lighting so you couldn't tell it wasn't the actress. That's what I call standing up for your beliefs.
ReplyDeleteI have actually done this Love Dare and it really helped our marriage.
ReplyDeleteI am actually doing the 40 day challenge thanks to this movie! It is amazingly powerful!

ReplyDeleteI love that you posted about this. My husband and I watched it a while ago. I really got a lot out of the message and I appreciated how it showed that just about any couple can turn their marraige around.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I really liked it. It's such a great encouragement to marriage...no matter where you are in your relationship.
ReplyDeleteWe love this movie and pop it in quite often... just to strengthen out marriage. We also have the book and have implimented quite a few of the ideas there.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note... if you want a great laugh... check out the special features and watch the fireproof in 60 second... IT'S HILARIOUS... We always watch that first!
We watched that as a couple and loved it. We bought the book and been giving the book as a gift for wedding gifts.
