Religion & Law

At the recommendation of a priest friend, my wife and I went to see the movie "Fireproof" today.  Although it doesn't have all of the technical excellence of the typical Hollywood fare, it was exceptionally well made for a low budget film (according to Box Office Mojo, it was made for $500,000 and has earned $20 million).  More importantly, the story will be familiar to anyone who has experienced or witnessed the emptiness of a marriage grown cold, the stranglehold of addiction, or the temptation of wandering eyes.  The movie shows the growth of a firefighter as the lessons of the firehouse - "never leave your partner behind" - are applied to his broken marriage. 

I highly recommend the movie.  FireProofMyMarriage.com also has some excellent resources, including a resource page for Catholics, with many links, including links to Marriage Encounter and Retrouvaille.
