It's not every day that you find a movie that is dedicated to strengthening marriages. "Fireproof" is just that. It has action and drama, love and humor, and intense emotion. It's awesome. Yet it sends a message that is rarely seen on the big screen that your marriage is worth fighting for, and that the best way to go about it is by including God in the process.
Kirk Cameron, 1980's teen idol in the hit TV show "Growing Pains," stars as Caleb Holt, a fireman on the brink of divorce. He gets caught up in the snare of selfishness many couples fall prey to in marriage. Self-preoccupation rears its ugly head as both Caleb and his wife express mutual hostility, blaming, and putting other people and things ahead of each other.
In training a rookie firefighter, Caleb is adamant that he never leave his partner behind, especially in the midst of a fire. Unfortunately Caleb cannot see that he is disregarding his own advice in his personal life. Thankfully he has a fellow firefighter and friend who is able to help him see the light.
