Fireproof
69Worth an evening.
A marriage saved by obedience before the feelings return. Simple, and the simplicity is the medicine.
Pass it on
The review
People laugh at the love dare, and some of the lines are stiff. Look at what it is willing to say. A husband is cold. A wife is done. The repair does not begin with a feeling. It begins with a series of acts he does not want to do, including telling the truth about what he has been looking at. That last part puts it ahead of almost every romance on a shelf.
Married adults. Do not watch it to feel warm about marriage. Watch it if you are in the cold part, and then do one day of the thing without announcing that you are doing a program. The charge is embarrassingly specific because vague charges are how marriages actually end.

The glance
Republic is the thin one.
Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Little Women
75 instead of 69
Little Women is still a drama film, and it scores 75 instead of 69. What you gain is temperance: Anger named and governed.
The eight
- 7Industry
Firefighting is a real craft. The harder assignment is the house.
- 9Household
The vow is the subject. They are not dating. They are married, and the married part is the crisis.
- 8Piety
The challenge is a discipline of service, tied to a faith he does not start with.
- 7Courage
Doing good to someone you are furious with, for forty days, is a kind of courage.
- 4Republic
A station and a house. The public is small.
- 6Temperance
Pornography is named as a thief in the marriage, which most films will not do.
- 6Truth
The steps are almost a program. The direction is still the truth: love is a practice.
- 8Stewardship
What he is keeping is a wife, not an exit story he can tell his friends.
