Fireproof

Last night, Todd brought home Fireproof with Kirk Cameron. It's supposed to be life-changing to your marriage, so on that premise alone, we were hooked. We're always interested in life-changing events, marriage or otherwise. The first 5 minutes of the movie had me skeptical, but once we got past the less-than-Oscar-worthy acting, the story itself was intriguing. About half way through, Todd even commented that he thought the acting was better. It wasn't, but still worth watching. It made us reflect on those little things that make everyday just that much more special, and how our Faith weaves in and out of every aspect of life. We even visited the website www.fireproofyourmarriage.com to follow up on some of the concepts in the movie. Great info on retreats, books, devotionals, etc. about marriage. So, add our names to the list of people who think this movie is worth the 2 hours of couple time. :)

Mrs. Jarhead and I are doing Marriage Encounter in July. You should look in to it.

We actually did marriage encounter about 3 years ago. It was a good experience. I will admit we did not stick with the program very long after we got home, but it is always good to be reminded of how you should treat one another. I will expect one ring when you are done. If you have not been you will know what I am talking about when you are done.
