The movie FireProof, starring Kirk Cameron premiers September 26, 2008.
Fireproof is so different. The (protagonist) couple is already married ten years, but their love has grown cold. They’re heading in different directions and living separate lives. They don’t even resemble the people they once were. So the theme of the movie is, ‘Can a relationship like that be resurrected? Can you rekindle flames of love and romance in a marriage that’s all but dead?’ The movie gently leads audiences to the answer…
Shaunti and a few friends and staff went to see the screening of the movie at the Fabulous Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia. Kirk Cameron was there along with the leading lady, Erin Bethea. Find out more about the movie and the actors at: FireproofTheMovie
An Interesting Story You Won't Find on That Website
Kirk Cameron relayed this to the audience at the end of the movie at the Fox screening - I heard it with my own ears. He made a pledge that his lips would never touch the lips of another woman - even in his acting. So when one particular scene called for a kiss, the directors arranged to have Kirk's real wife flown out to Albany, Georgia just for that scene. Wearing a wig and the same outfit as the actress, his real wife is standing in for the actress in that kissing scene. Ahhhh - does it make you want to cry girls? I'm a hopeless romantic - what can I say.
If you go see the movie - come back and let us all know what you thought.

Our radio station in Tampa played an interview with Kirk Cameron and he discussed "the kiss" and how vitally important it was to him. He knew the movie had to end with a kiss, so they shot it so that he could kiss his real wife and no one would know. What a wonderful statement!
great movie......and the book is very easy to read |

I thought the movie was great! I truly believe that if you do things out of love, no matter how you feel and no matter how badly they treat you, that they will just start showing love back.
I advise every couple to watch it.

Its not campy is it? I couldn't stand watching Christian movies as a kid. Never very professional, usually heavy handed and certainly limited in the entertainment arena.
Kirk has really become pushy about his faith, and that can be a turn off, even for a Christian.

Not sure what 'campy' means, but this movie is not that 'too holy' movie with tons of verses flying around each minute. No.
It is about relationship.. how to build relationship based on God's grace.
It requires sacrifice, tears and many heart breaks.. but it's worth.
I highly recommend this movie to any couple who want to improve their relationship quality. |

The moral of the story to me was "YOU NEVER LEAVE YOUR PARTNER". In one of the fire-fighter scenes, the main character (captain of the Fire Dept) told this to one of the firemen because a fire fighter can't leave his partner in a burning house, etc. The moral is also applied to his marriage..."YOU NEVER LEAVE YOUR PARTNER"..."DIVORCE IS NOT AN OPTION".
For those who don't like "God/Christian movies"...I think you'll like this one. I thought this movie was appealing to men because of the fire fighting action & for the women, well it's a "tear-jerker chick-flick". When I saw it, I felt like I was watching my own life on a big screen (less the fire-fighting stuff, but my husband too is totally dedicated to his co-workers).

| Although the movie showed how porn can make a wife fall out of love with her husband, I wish they had told more about how damaging it is to her self esteem. |

Like in the movie...if your man has hurt you that bad (with porn),...they need to pursue us (wives) as a way to help us to believe that they really want us more than the porn type girls by not lingering (after their initial look) at other women & by not looking again and again. We need to pursue them by affirming them, respecting them, & paying attention to them, but it's hard to do those things (especially the "attention" part) when they're still looking too long or even worse, treating us different when a seductively dressed woman is in the room, & especially when they've "told us" that their taste in what's "hot" to them has changed. In the movie, they left out the part about how the wife got past the inadequate feelings. ?
I wish my husband would pursue me this way to help heal me. Should I tell him he needs to do it...to help me to pursue him too, or does he need to figure this out on his own? Seems like he should be able to figure that out since men are basically "hunters" that go after their prey if it's something they want. |

| My husband and I loved the movie and thought we would get to watch it alone. Next thing we knew my mother, who also lives with us and my oldest son, 15 ended up sitting down with us. I was amazed at how that movie reached out to everyone watching and provided them with guidance that they needed. |

| I haven't seen the movie, but am finding it very challenging to get some wise, quality advice on-line for women whose husbands have been, or still are addicted to porn. How long do we wait for husbands to start paying attention, respecting us, and treating us with dignity? I would like to hear any thoughts or ideas as to where to go for help online and anonymously, as I'm thinking of leaving my marriage if it doesn't improve. |
