Can "The Love Dare" / "Fireproof" be helpful to a non-christian marriage?

cont

So, if you are the type of person who, even if you aren't a Christian, can read the lessons, and read the scriptures and see the wisdom in the words as far as how we should treat each other, and basically keep an open mind, then it can be very helpful. (Just like, as a Christian, I can still acknowledge the wisdom in many of the things that Buddha said, kwim?...)

If you are the type of person that is going to look at it and say I don't believe in God, I'm not a Christian, and this came from the bible, so it must automatically be garbage, then it probably isn't the method for you, kwim?


Hope all this makes sense :-)

Of course they can and they can also make you want to accept God as your Lord and Savior i have watched fireproof it's such a good movie i actually cried in the end

I loved the movie fireproof*****

I'm glad that it made sense :-) If you do it, I would encourage you to read the scripture references with it, because it helps to clarify or reinforce the point they're making, which, again, whether you're a Christian or not, some things are pretty "universal".

I've seen the movie a few times. I didn't get the feeling that there were overt "male and female" roles, and certainly not in the "I'm the big tough man and you're the little woman, get in the kitchen and keep your mouth shut while I call all the shots" sort of thing. In fact, in the movie, she works in a hospital (I think she's a nurse, but I can't remember), and he's a firefighter. It talked about how he damaged the marriage, which led her to withdrawing from it (but it could have been "flipped" gender wise - and it addresses that, too...) - and focuses on what YOU need to do to fix your marriage - not what your SPOUSE needs to do (regardless of gender.)
