Fireproof and The Love Dare-Anyone?

This DVD and book have been recommended by 2 people to me in the last week to help improve your marriage , etc....anyone have any experience? I looked them up and they seem to be a good thing....just curious!~~~

We had a couples night at church and watched this DVD and then we all got the books.  At the end of the 40 days, we are having a vow renewal for the couples that took the "dare".  The movie is made by the same people that made Facing the Giants, but the acting in Fireproof is MUCH better.  Some scenes are predictable, but for the most part it is a very good movie and if you follow the book, it will definitely improve your marriage. 

Thanks for your input...My sis did the group through church too. They are working on the fireproof book not the love dare book. Going today to check it out...my friend bought the dvd and love dare at Walmart....it looked like about $20 total for both...

We have seen the movie and have the book but haven't started the dare yet. The movie was good and will help show you what to expect from the dare. We haven't started the dare yet because I started reading  the book and you are supposed to take notes and stuff so I wanted us to each have our own book so we could make our own notes. I also read the first dare before we saw the movie and thought it was going to be a bunch of bunk but then I saw the movie and it explained that the dares get harder as you get further along.

You also don't have to be having marital problems to do the dare. We got the book for Christmas and I was very confused at first. Then the person who gave it to us explained what it was and that ANY relationship can benefit from participating!!

Sent you a PM Michelle....

My hubby and I loved it!  We watched the movie at home, got it from the Redbox!  Then at church they started the bible study.  We thought we would give it a try.  We are really enjoying it.  The bible study class started doing the Love Dare on its own and that has been a lot of fun.  We like to exchange ideas and that helps keep it fresh.  There is a website  (http://www.40daylovedare.com/)  that is a message board of sorts and we get lots of ideas from there as well. 

My hubby and I were close and totally in love before this began, the movie and study have really made us appreciate what we have and enjoy it! :) 

thanks for your information...I have been looking around online about it but had not seen that website...glad you guys enjoyed it...

July, Paul and I did a study of sorts through our church we watched the movie read a study guide and went to classes.
The one thing that it renewed for us was our communication.  We now have "our time" we talk, everything is fair game except we do not point fingers...we use lots of "I" statements...
The movie opened up a lot for us; watch the movie, and then watch it again with David, it puts a whole new look on things!!!!
