Fireproof

Ella and I were driving home from The Little Gym, Thursday, and I read a sign on a local church "Fireproof your marriage." Interesting. Later Ella went to sleep at a time that allowed me to watch the last half of Dr. Phil, the topic: Fireproof your marriage. He had Kirk Cameron on who starred in the movie "Fireproof." Interesting. What was basically said was people need to respect their marriage and create a mindset that it is a commitment versus a piece of paper. Now I know there are marriages that sometimes need to end such as abuse, addiction, and others. I also know marriage isn't for everyone and that's OK. I know for myself that "piece of paper" has made a dramatic difference in my relationship with my husband. Divorce rates in the USA are at like 50%. That's so high. Fireproof your marriage? Well I liked the fact that one of the guests, a retired firefighter, now a pastor, stated that with firefighting it's two men in, tow men out. He encouraged married couples to use that idea for their marriage. Marriage is hard. It takes a lot of work and energy. It takes collaborating with another individual who has their own ideas. I intend to stay married to my wonderful husband. I intend to grow individually as well as a couple with him. I intend to love him till what ever the next phase is from here. I intend to have a "two men in two men out" marriage. What's your intention for your marriage?
