Marriage and Movies

I had the pleasure of seeing the movie, "Marley and Me." I would particularly recommend it if you are married and if you love animals. It's the story of a young couple who gets a puppy, a beautiful Labrador, and how this bad puppy causes so much havoc but grows with the family through the years. You see the young couple go through many professional and personal changes as they grow from just a couple to a family of three kids. At one point in the marriage, things gets tense and the motto is "Mend it, don't end it." If more marrieds followed their mantra, there were undoubtedly be less divorces.

Another movie I would hidely recommend for married couples to see is "Fireproof." It's about a couple who is having difficult times in their marriage and the husband see advice from his father. The father shares with his son about 30 techniques he should try to help rescue his marriage. Some work, some do not. However, the premise is wise. The movie has some Christian overtones and has been sanctioned by the church, but it is valuable for everyone to see.

Enjoy this Memorial Day and catch a good movie if you can!
