Fireproof
September 14, 2010
Well, we have finally decided what study we are going through for the Couples’ Ministry this fall. Drum roll please…..
Fireproof your Marriage. We had toyed with the idea of doing Love and Respect again and were seriously planning on it, when we were asked to find something new – mix it up a bit. We looked through other material (there is a lot of lame marriage stuff out there) and found, through the help of some friends, Fireproof. Probably the hardest part about finding something new was that Love and Respect was so good, that most everything else, pales in comparison. So when I say “lame,” I mean it comparatively speaking.
One of the things we liked about Fireproof is that is seems real, and we LIKE real. Also, if you want to continue with the study, there are options like the Love Dare to encourage personal growth in your marriage. Also, it’s not about changing your spouse, but about changing yourself. That might not be as fun as pointing the finger at your imperfect spouse, but it is very much like the heart of Christ and becoming more like Him.
Here is a clip from the movie that the study is based on.
We will be everyother Friday night, beginning Friday, September 24th, in Beaumont. The cost is $25 per couple and that takes care of the price of the book. We will also be having childcare at the home, if you need it – so no excuses!! If you would like more information, please contact me @ amanda.garcia99@yahoo.com
As always, you do not have to be married to attend. If you are dating, engaged, married, remarried – whatever, we invite you to come and learn about God’s heart concerning marriage.
We look forward to seeing what God has in store for our marriages.
