My wife and I recently purchased and watched the movie "Fireproof". I do not want to give the movie away, but I highly recommend it for all that are married. It has a terrific message that speaks to all married couples including those that do not consider themselves "having trouble".
The movie is based around the concept of the love dare. I bought The Love Dare as a Valentine's Day gift for Angel and we have started to work through the dare. It is a difficult journey, but we are committed to following each day together. We have only completed a few days, but I have already learned some important lessons. They are as follows....
- I love my wife so much and it is important to me to become a better husband. The husband that God would have me to be.
- Her happiness cannot be sacrificed for mine
- I must be patient (always think before I speak).
These may sound like simple concepts and perhaps each of you have mastered them, but I encourage you to reinforce them within your marriage.

P.S. I bought the book The Love Dare at the Family Christian Bookstore. The book that I purchased has a leather cover so I was able to have it inscribed (like a Bible) with our names and anniversary date.
