A Great Movie

A Great Movie Called Fire Proof

I hope that I don’t offend anyone by this post and please let me know if I do because that is not the intent that I have. I am sorry to get so religious on everyone as well because that is not my intent that I have either. I am just writing this because of the strong feeling that I have about this particular Christian movie. I recommend everyone watching it because I believe that it will truly strengthen your marriage and your understanding of how to get a long, not only in a marriage but in a relationship that may turn into a marriage.

There is a movie Theater here in Safford that is at the Victory Fellowship Church and they were showing a great movie called Fireproof and my friend Christina and her husband Don went to see it and said that it was a very good movie about fireproofing your marriage and to look at the signs that are happening when you are having trouble in your marriage.

One of the things that really stood out to me was about how the problems started small with the husband and the wife in the movie and they really didn’t talk about it they just let it go and it kept piling up and getting worse and worse until the couple decided that the only resolution to the problems with their marriage was to get a divorce and then he goes through this book that his dad gives him and tries each of the little things that have to do with showing your significant other how much you love them even by doing just little things for them such as making a pot of coffee, or doing the dishes.

I wish that this movie would have come out long ago because I learned many great lessons from just watching the movie that I should have learned in the things that were going on with the marriage that I was in and wondering even if I would have taken the small steps and extra steps to step back and realize that the lord and church would have made TJ and I’s marriage a stronger and maybe we could have even saved it because I am not going to lie even deep down I still love the man because he was the first one that I really fell in love with and that I had those kinds of feelings for and if he called me today I would consider working our problems out even after all that he has put me through because what I have learned in the short time that I have went to church and in the bible studies that I have attended it just goes to show that there is help out there and it doesn’t even have to cost a couple money. It is as simple as finding a church and realizing the lord is there and he can help you no matter how bad things are. That divorce is not always the last answer to end all of your problems even through the little struggles that you may have.

I know that it takes two to cause problems and their were things that I should have did different in our marriage that maybe would have saved it but I have a feeling and now looking back at things that if I would have just put my foot down with TJ and said that we were going to find a church home and attend regularly maybe it would have curbed his drinking and even cured it or made him realize when you say for better and for worse it does not mean that when you have little struggles along the way to just kick your wife out and get rid of her, because that is what he did to me exactly word for word. He had no interest in working the problems out and I wish that he would have listened to me and said that there are other ways to work our problems out. Just like the movie showed even the small things matter and that even though it doesn’t seem like it your significant other pays attention to the small things.
