This is a movie suggestion. If you have not seen the movie Fireproof yet... run to the theatre. Don't walk, run- oh, and don't forget your spouse. You will be happy you saw it.
The premise of the movie is a couple that looks typical to the outside world. But that's the problem, they are typical. They can't communicate properly, they fail to prioritize each other and they are heading down the path to divorce. Yeah- this movie is a bit too typical unfortunately.
I'm an advocate of attending regular marriage promotion events (at least annually). It's just good to get the oil change periodically. I'm not saying Annette and I have the perfect marriage but there is no doubt these retreats have significantly strengthened our relationship. Fireproof is along these lines. So instead of attending a 5-8 hour event, I suggest you start with a 2 hour movie. It will be the best $15 you've spent in a long time... err- maybe $20...
ENJOY! Charles

sadly, good ol' kirk was the best actor in the whole thing! man, it was a good story but the acting! ouch. i bet it makes keanu reeves feel better, though.
Charles - good movie recommendation. I saw it this summer based on a friend's suggestion. I was worried at first it may be too "in your face" pushing religion over the marriage theme...but it wasn't. Very good movie. I read the actors and crew all volunteered their time, which is another positive. Good movie, good message.
