A REALISTIC APPROACH TO RELATIONSHIPS

"I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED OF THE DEPTH AND HONESTY PORTRAYED IN THIS MOVIE CONCERNING TROUBLED MARRIAGES AND THE SOLUTIONS PROVIDED IN HEALING THE WOUNDS AND REBUILDING A MORE SOLID FOUNDATION. THE MOVIE WAS GREATLY AFFECTIVE WITHOUT THE USE OF ANY FOUL LANGUAGE! I THINK EVERY HOME OUGHT TO HAVE THE MOVIE AND THE PRINCIPLES BE USED REGULARLY TO MAINTAIN A HAPPY AND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP/MARRIAGE. I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE MOVIES MADE WITH THE HEALTHY PRICIPLES OF LIFE USED TO ENHANCE ALL AREAS OF LIFE, IE:RELATIONSHIPS IN THE HOME, WORK, ETC. AND IN FRIENDSHIPS.
WHEN THE MOVIE FINALLY REACHED OUR AREA IN THE MOVIE THEATERS, IT WAS RUN FOR ONE WEEK. WHAT A DISSPPOINTMENT!"
Great Christian entertainment! (Part III)

"The Kendrick Brothers ups the ante with "Fireproof". Starring Kirk Cameron (TV's Growing Pains, The Left Behind Movies) gives a high-caliber performance as a husband whose on the verge of divorce from his wife, played by Erin Bethea. Whenever the arguments and situations got heated, it brought more of the characters out in the open.
Fireproof's supporting cast includes members from Sherwood Church in Georgia. The family atmosphere is always a welcome whenever I watch their movies.
The Special Collector's Edition DVD has extra footage that wasn't included on the original version, Casting Crowns Slow Fade Video and much more.
If you can find the movie's soundtrack, it'll be the perfect combo.
Highly recommended for singles and couples alike, no matter what the age is.
Be blessed."
A lot to think about...

"This show was powerful for my husband and me to watch together. Although we feel our marriage is excellent, watching this show made us want to make our marriage even better. The movie was inspiring and thought-provoking. We'd highly recommend it."

"This movie about an individual's transformation can guide people to happier and healthier relationships. I saw myself in this film at different stages of my marriage. I didn't have the film's 40-day-steps to guide me through rebuilding myself, but the humbling of a failed relationship did bring me closer to God, family and self, my true self. Once my faith relationship was restored, all other relationships seemed effortless. "Fireproof" strongly teaches us how to see ourselves and others as God see us.
I would strongly recommend to any couple at any stage of their relationship to sit down together and watch this life saving film. I say life because there's so much more in this movie than just a lesson in making a marriage work. The real relationship that is reconciled in this movie is a relationship with the Almighty.
If your relationship with God, family and friends is going well, then you might enjoy watching this movie for confirmation of what it took to make them successful. If you've committed to a relationship but things haven't been what you thought they would be, check out this movie and see if it addresses your doubts. "Fireproof" just might shed some light on where the love you thought you had for God or another person was misplaced or misled by you. And you'll be surprised at the place this movie points you toward in finding it.
I enjoyed watching this movie so much that I'm taking it with me on a trip to visit family. I feel its definitely a movie to be shared and talked about. It touches while it teaches!"
