Bob and I recently watched Fireproof. It was a good movie-the acting wasnt the greatest, but the story line was awesome. It was about a couple having problems in there marriage and either of which wanted to make it work. So the father suggested to his son to do the love dare. Its 40 days of hard dedication to your marriage. All things that are needed daily to make a marriage stand the test of time. Thru time the couple worked things out and realized the true meaning to love someone unconditionally. I found this and it tells what the movie is about:

At work, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. But he follows his own rules at home. After seven years, he and his wife have drifted so far apart that Catherine wishes she had never married. As divorce looms, Caleb's father challenges him to commit to a 40-day experiment he calls "The Love Dare." Caleb isn't sure it's worth the effort, but agrees. In frustration 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 God shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment. And--with God's help--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.

So after watching this I did a little research and found that the book is great also for happily married couples, newleyweds, etc. So I went out to Barnes & Noble and bought it and Bob and I are reading it. In my life I have seen so many people staying in a relationship that are misserable, and why?? Why not fix your marriage and make it better? I just cant imaging living like that. Bob and I have always appreciated the things we do for each other, and we dont take our love for granted. We both know that we do most of things in this book, but we also want to make sure that our relationship never gets to those rocky points. Here is what I found online about this book:

Unconditional love is eagerly promised at weddings, but rarely practiced in real life. As a result, romantic hopes are often replaced with disappointment in the home, but it doesn't have to stay that way.
The Love Dare, as featured in the new movie Fireproof, is a 40-day challenge for husbands and wives to understand and practice unconditional love. Whether your marriage is hanging by a thread or healthy and strong, The Love Dare is a journey you need to take.
