Fireproof

I’d be upfront and say
that I’m not one for religion –based shows
i usually find myself bored or turned away
as sometimes the religious shows can be overbearing
but this show managed to capture my attention throughout
and i actually enjoyed the Christian message behind it

it tells of a married couple,
a fireman and his wife 
who fights so often
that it has led to talks of divorce
so,in efforts to save his marriage
he takes up his father’s 40-day “love dare
which requires him to go the extra mile for his wife
doing little sweet gestures everyday
while trying to maintain his composure
especially despite his wife’s ignorance of it all

along the way, he finds the true meaning of marriage
one that sustains all odds if lifted up to God

despite its Christian meaning
and despite it revolving around a married couple
this show is for all
Christian or not
married or not

as it reminds us that
its the littlest most insignificant things in life
that makes the biggest most significant changes
