i totally love it even if i cannot really relate cause im too young 
lol. but yea, it is very touching. my parents watched it too, the whole family did and i think it should be shown to every single person in this world, to let them be reminded that divorce is not the solution to marriage problem in such case as that.

The abuse that happened in our household was lightweight compared to what Fireproof portrayed, but, it was a great movie that was still used to break and humble my spouse to tears and repentance. Even though he has changed throughout the years, there are times when he stumbles and gets impatient with me and ends up saying things to me that he regrets and tells me sorry for. I have since learned years ago, to give it to God and not respond in a way that inflames the situation. I do speak and tell him how I feel when things are calmed down. Actually, I was not expecting Fireproof to affect him as deeply as what it did. He was crying so hard that I actually felt compassion for him.
Ok for those of you who said the acting wasn't that great and so forth. I advise you to take up a career in fire service and see the real strain it puts on any relationship. Over all Sherwood Baptist did an excellent job both with acting and portraying the real every day stress we fire fighters go through both at home and on the job. Volunteer and paid crews alike. I actually left a volunteer station to try to better my marriage and take less strain off of my family life. I advise you to also review the marriage statistics of fire fighter's marriages compared to a normal couple. The divorce rate among married firefighters is higher than most others. Though in the end my marriage didn't work out the movie and The Love Dare, I believe were used as a tool by God, helped me to become a better person and through His help showed me areas of my life that needed work. Remember, these guys that jump on that truck every day or on that EMS rig every day go out to serve you the community. Not just one person here and a person there. But each time those tones go out and they get on that truck they go out to serve you. Their goal is life and property as a whole.
And sorry if I seem a little extreme on this but I did want to get my point across. The guys who portrayed the fire fighters specifically did an excellent job at portraying the every day events they go through. Kirk Cameron's role in this film is what needs to be looked at specifically. I've been down this road in a relationship. As I said before I left a volunteer department with my house captain wanting me to come back despite the fact my marriage was in hot water and I wouldn't do it. These guys go through a lot. Both at work and at home. The volunteer guys who serve the community some of them treat the fire house like their second home. They love what they do by giving back to the community. It's vital to realize the stress it puts on a relationship. This movie as I personally discovered was aimed at marriage specifically. DO NOT mistake this marriage to be aimed at fire fighter's just because it's a relationship that the lead character is in. It's message is for everyone. But I think I've said enough. Once again I apologize if I seem too point blank here but once again I did want to make sure I got my message across.
I propose nothing...I'm just stating the obvious that the actors/tresses that portrayed the roles in this movie did in fact do an excellent job. Furthermore, they upheld the standard of the fire service quite well from what i know about this particular field. Not only that this movie also as I stated before demonstrates the stresses of everyday life for both paid and volunteer crews.

The movie was poor, because of poor acting or poor writing or some combination of the two. Sure, it highlighted the stress that firefighters are under, as well as normal married couples. But this doesn't mean the movie was good quality. You can deliver a good message poorly. That's what I saw the movie as: good message, poor execution. It wasn't a "realistic" portrayal because of the poor acting and poor script.
