Fireproof

Last night, my wife and I watched the movie Fireproof (see official web site along with Wikipedia entry).  I heard about the movie the other day while listening to Catholic radio and was able to get it at a local DVDPlay location.  The movie is super-cheesy and a bit predictable but it has a great message regarding marriage and God.  In particular, the movie speaks to the need to never leave your marriage partner in a fire (much like firefighters in a real fire). Also, making something "fireproof" doesn't mean that the fire will never come.  It means that the object (in this case, marriage) will be able to withstand the fire when it does come.  As a follow-up to the movie, there is a Web site called fireproofmymarriage.com.

My wife tells me that I'm too serious - and that's certainly true.  But one thing that I'm incredibly serious about - and hope I never get less serious about - is my marriage.
