A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, but I couldn't disagree more with HorrorWriter7493's opinion and "review". First of all, growing up in a Christian family doesn't make one Christian. We need more movies like this one in the media, and I am thankful that over the last decade, they are increasing. Watching this movie ten years ago, was like watching my real-life marriage unfold in front of me. It gave me hope that my husband could turn from his abusive ways, turn to God fully, and we could come out on top. Unfortunately, my bipolar, abusive, alcoholic, cussing-loving, belligerent and adulterous (ex)spouse was more interested in living his life with his spirits and how he wanted to live it (claiming the whole way that he was a Christian), than to actually change and turn in his baggage for true happiness. It is truly heart-breaking that people everyday are more willing to stay in their mess than to get freed and do the work to change for the better. I say that to say this, we have enough cussing, violence, horror in real life and in movies already. To say that these types of movies prey on Christians to "make money off of them", and that this movie is for those who "have not encountered anything truly wounding to them" is a gross misstatement. I have lived through some horrible times, and a terribly wounding marriage. I do not cuss, nor appreciate that type of language. I would much rather spend my money on movies like Fireproof, than on the movies that have cussing and worldly responses to life situations in them. I look to God to help me with life's decisions, and getting out of abuse was one of the biggest and hardest situations I have encountered. I already know the world's ideas of responding to situations, and do not need more movies like those that HorrorWriter indicated in his review - no thank you! This movie shows how life can be when we do the work and become free from our baggage.I loved this movie, and thought that everyone did an excellent job with their acting, especially for those who may have not acted before (or may not have acted in a mainstream movie before). I appreciated the non-worldly view of how to handle a difficult marriage, and God's options for deliverance, repentance, and reconciliation.

I loved this movie. It is one of change. Change from not keeping the marriage covenant to being faithful.Change from thinking about yourself first to putting others first.It shows the heartache of a marriage that has problems and the heartache of trying to mend those problem. It also shows the joy that can come from love.It shows how destructive lust and infidelity can be to a marriage.There are so many things I love about this movie.**Talking points - Is viewing pornography being unfaithful to your spouse and your marriage? Does selfishness lead to greater selfishness? Does kindness lead to love? Can people change? Can love that is lost be rebuilt? Can trust that is lost be reestablished? What are you doing now that weakens your marriage and makes your marriage vulnerable? What can you do to protect your marriage? What can you do to mend your marriage?

This film was amazing, I watched it twice and cried the whole way through. The message of GOD is defiantly shown in the story and execution of the film. It proves so many points and touches your heart. Amazing job done. Beautiful cinematography, flawless & believable acting. I was sucked into the film and enjoyed everything about it.
