For this Valentine's Day, FIREPROOF your relationship!

Yesterday, I saw a really good movie. I think a lot of African Americans didn't watch this one because it was pushed more toward others and not our key market, but man, we really missed something.

Okay, here's the breakdown:

Fireproof is about Caleb and Catherine who are on the borderline of divorcing. He tells Catherine after a horrible horrible (I mean screaming crazy mad rant) that he could careless what she does and pushes her to file for
divorce. As a firefighter chief, Caleb is always drilling in his men "Never
Leave Your Partner!" Yet in his personal life, Caleb could care only about
himself. (This man was truly the epitome of selfishness.) That is until Caleb's
father writes his son a to do list called "The
Love Dare" and Caleb has to promise to do the entire list before
signing the divorce papers. (OMG! - you can actually buy this book, which I did
before.)

Every day for 40 days, Caleb has to do something out of this book for his wife, for himself, for his relationship. OMG! I can't stop saying that. It was just beautiful and it was so many lessons learned that this book brought out in
Caleb. He changed. His wife changed. They fell in love again. Now I know you're
saying this is just a movie but it wasn't just the movie it was the tasks he was
instructed to do in order to fall in love with his wife again. They were
extravagant (although it was hilarious as you watch this frugal selfish man buy
flowers for her because he didn't want to spend any of his boat money. "How
much is it without the bear and chocolates?" he basically asked . OMG! )

I'm recommending this movie for anyone and everyone. I know you won't just want to watch it once. You need to buy it. And watch it all the time. I'll tell you about The Love Dare when it arrives.

I'd like to note, no movie has actually made me just go out and buy a book the next day. (I even took a couple of months to actually place an order for beadle bard by J.K. and that was a really good book I really really wanted to
read.)
