Fireproofing Our Relationship

So last night was date night...meaning that Daniel and I took a night for ourselves, for a date:) We spent the sunday afternoon picking on each other in good fun and him telling me that I am "bossy" because I told...asked:)...him to change a light bulb and to put up a hat organizer thing in laundry room. You know, it just needed to be done and it seemed like a boy job, meaning that it took him about half the time that it would have taken me to figure out how to get the light fixture off so you can actually get to the light bulb.

We conclude date night we went to the evening show (that ended up costing us about $26 by the time it was said and done, but what is a movie without a coke and popcorn?!?) and seeing the new movie, Fireproof. It was great! I highly recommend that everyone sees it. Seriously, take the time and plan to go see it. It was filmed in Albany, GA, and the acting definitely isn't going to win any award in Hollywood, but the message is something that everyone needs to hear and be refreshed on. The movie is a good reminder that Jesus must be, and remain, the centerpoint and foundation of any relationship where unconditional love, peace, and forgiveness are experienced. And don't we all need some of that?

I'm not going to lie, it was emotional too. I fought back tears because I didn't want my mascara to run (I'm shallow, I know), and my sweet-hearted fiance would not shout it from the rooftops, but he too was moved deep down.

A lasting impression that the movie left on me came from this quote (if I can remember it correctly) "Fireproof doesn't mean that fire won't come, it just means that you won't get burned"....kinda reminds me of the promises that Jesus makes us.

I recommend that everyone take an evening with your loved one, and go see this movie in a comfy sweatshirt and with some overpriced concessions in hand.
