Emotional Movie About the Ultimate Love
Fireproof
In this inspirational movie, Captain Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) is a firefighter who has had it with his marriage to Catherine. Actually, the feeling is mutual. When Caleb confides to his father that he is thinking of ending the marriage, his dad asks him to wait. His dad promises him something in the mail, and asks Caleb to try it for 40 days before making any decisions. Caleb decides to do it, although reluctantly.Caleb receives a book in his father's handwriting. As Caleb halfheartedly completes the tasks, his heart begins to soften. He begins to care about his wife. He is brought face to face with his selfish nature and realizes he needs a Savior. Battling addictions, resentments, and pride, God brings Caleb a life-changing decision. But is it too late to win his wife back?
This is one of my favorite movies. I believe it has a message to save marriages, if people would watch it and try to do the daily tasks. There is a workbook, The Love Dare , that can be purchased. It includes the 40-day tasks Caleb attempts in the movie.
Even if your marriage is fine, this movie reminds you of what real love is all about. Redemption, forgiveness, self-sacrifice, patience and kindness, to name a few. It's how Jesus loves us. When we have that love, anything is possible.
PG - Thematic material and some peril.
