I just sawed the movie. It was sent by an old friend. My wife and my self have been having problems for a while now. I strongly believe that we both allowed Satan to intrude in our marriage by doing wrong things. I allowed parasites by becoming addictive to pornography among other negative things. In the end my wife and I became very insensitive and our marriage was going down hill by the day. Recently she decided to get out of our relationships and marriage. She told me that she no longer loves me and that there was no point in continuing with our relationship if there was no love. I did agreed in the begining until I realized that I was wrong. I realized that it was a mistake, and I walk realized that I truly love her. Recently I have being trying new things and I started to restablosh a relationship with the Lord. Doing everything I can neccesary to save our marriage. Mainly because we have two beautiful girls. I asked you to include is in your prayers.

Hello, This past Sunday January 11 I saw the Movie Fireproof. It was sent to me by my sister in law.
My husband and I have been toguether 12 years have a beautiful girl of years and last June 2014 i found out he was having an affair with one of his co-workers. With my anger i thru him out of the house but weeks later realized i wanted to save our marriage. When communicating with him my feelings he turned into a rebelious person. I didin't know who he was and how can someone be able to throw away 12 years into a trashcan because "this was the love of his life".
I've been showing constantly my love, my forgiveness and my desire to be with him and our family. I still believe this other woman is involved in his live. I've been praying to God to please show him the correct way, lead him ti the right people and to open his eyes to what his about to do.
I ask of you to include me, my husband and my family in you're prayers.
Any marrieage can be safe with God by our side and desire to work through it.

Since my husband told me that he wasn't happy and he didn't want the marriage I have been doing the love dare. I am praying that this helps, I'm still praying and asking God take care of it. My husband mind seems to be really made up. This is our second marriage, although he didn't say he wanted a divorce, but after being told that he's not happy and didn't want the marriage I know divorce is next. I'm on day 5 of the love dare and it has been tough. I want to know is it possible to do the dare even though he is out of the state working for a few weeks? I couldn't buy him anything for day 3 letting him know I was thinking of him so I sent him a thinking of you text and put good morning and have a blessed day. He replied back good morning to you and have a blessed day. Day 5 he didn't quite give me the threw answers he just said we have already talked about it. Is any of this good signs and can this be done with him not around? Pleases help!!!😢

After returning from Iraq in 2006, I did some things I am not proud of. I was on medical hold for 10 mos. then given a medical discharge. Though it was hard after being put on the meds I was taken, I did something I never thought I would do. I guess part of it was being stuipd, and then my wife not knowing how to deal with the way I changed. But this has been on going for several years now. In 07 went back to Iraq but as a contractor, and between there and Afghanistan I just returned home in 2013. I am currently on workers comp so that helps a little bit. But my wife and I are still at odds, over the past. I truly love her and for some reason cant stop loveing her. She wants a divorce and out. I am hoping this 40 day journey will help as I try to save what God has put together. Is there HOPE! Can I change her outlook, on things, will God help me through this.

I am hoping this Love Dare will great or get my marriage back on track. Since being deployed to Iraq and coming back in 06, things have changed. I did the unthinkable and cheated on my wife. I then left to go back overseas to contract. It has been hit and miss this whole time. Will this help? If you would please pray, and with the Love of God and his help one of the great institutuions he created can be saved.

I am on my 2nd reading of "Love Dare" which has been incredibly helpful and such a blessing. I believe I am at the cross roads in my Marriage of 19+ years with not only trying to understand my wife, but also my self. Although we are still living together, life is very lonely as we seem to be living separate lives and doing our own thing, except when it comes to our kids. We both profess to be Christians, however, going in different directions with daily living with a spirit of unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment and anger. Please pray for our marriage as the lord restores this marriage covenant with a spirit of joy, peace, love, hope, kindness and forgiveness. I know that he is able to do incredible miracles in marriages. May God richly bless and restore your marriage. Thank you!

Ive done the Love Dare several times and each time I learned something new. I am married for 25 years and I am asking for prayers because at this stage in life I really would have hoped things would be BETTER!! It's most difficult when your mate refuses to change and has a one set mind, and thought process. God is still good and Im praying for Gods help knowing that I have not the power to make some changes. I know that he will get us to a better place. The Love Dare is certainly a Powerful tool that will only help enhance your marriage. I love and share it many couples. Thanks for the Love Dare and its program.

I have been reading this book that i was so curious about since i watched the movie. Now, i want to be honest and tell you that i am not married, have never been married and i am in a very good, honest, respectful relationship with my boyfriend. I have never had a relationship this healthy before.
I am a christian but i am not saved. Basically i have no reason to read or use this book - well not for the reasons its meant.
I gather from this book that its meant to save marriages. And i have all the faith that it can...it takes strong-willed people to do this though, as you might not get the response that you want from your spouse - but Love is very strong.
I decided to read this book because before i take the step and enter into this sacred covenant, that is supposed to be the most rewarding and most amazing relationships of all, i wanted to learn how God meant marriage to be. I wanted to go back to the root from where this covenant came - The Holy Bible - and wanted to see Love and learn about Love from God's eyes.
I thought if I could learn to love this way from the beginning - the agape way - with God's help, how magical my future marriage could be.
I have never read a more rewarding book. I will always keep it close and refer back to it going forward.
i have offered it as gifts to some of my friends as they too are so desperate to save their marriages.
Thank you for this book! It serves well to prepare yourself for an amazing marriage, as well as to save one that is on the rocks.
In all honesty, i haven't yet finished read it. - I am reading Dare 22
I'll write again once i have finished it.

I've been together with my husband for 17 years and married for nearly 10 years in a few days time. We please need lots of prayers. I had an affair a few months ago and my husband moved out more than 18 months ago. I filed for divorce and then stopped the whole process because I realised I still love my husband. He has now since found someone else and now wants to divorce me. I am his 3rd wife and I love him so much. We have 2 beautiful sons and I realised too late that I made the biggest mistake of my life. God bless you all reading this and all our troubled marriage.

My husband and I are in need of your prayers. I have always struggled with attractions to other men and a few months ago my husband suggested we try polyamory to better accommodate my personality. We tried it for a month and a dated a guy and was not as honest as I should have been with my husband thus resulting in an affair although I never had sex with the man. I have reconciled and turned my life around completely and have excommunicated the guy I dated and any man or friend who I have an attraction to to demonstrate my sincerity to my spouse. My husband is wanting a disillusionment even though I am doing everything in my capability to show true godly love to him that I have never shown him throughout our entire relationship. Now I am closer and more reliant on God than I have ever been and an willing to repeat the love dare for the rest of our lives together my husband is severely damaged from the pain I caused him and wants to leave me. Please pray for us and for his heart to be softened and for our relationship with God and each other to continue to grow. I Am willing to do whatever it takes to build a new relationship founded on unconditional love with my husband.

My husband and I have been married for 4 and a half years. We have had some issues and instead of talking them out we always said, "we won't do that again" and brush it under the rug. I found him talking to another girl. He got angry and said he hasn't been happy for a long time. He packed his stuff and moved in with his mom. I am absolutely devastated. I pleaded with him to go to counseling and that I know we can work this out. He said, "I don't want to invest anymore time in this. I'm just done so respect that." I don't see how he can throw away 7 and a half years of being together. I love him so much.
I am on Day 5 of the Love Dare and turned my life over to God on Day 3. I see that I am making some very big changes in my life and I love the person I am becoming. I am trying to stay positive, pray, seek God, trust God, and continue in the Love Dare. My first priority is to get my relationship right with God and trust that God will work on my husband and that he will come back home soon.
Prayers are greatly appreciated through this difficult time.

My faïence and I are having very bad times right now. After we both just went threw a miscarriage and just lost are house and I quite my job. I have made a horrible mistake and let a girl move in and I slept with her once and said some very uncalled for things to my faïence and she is nit knowing what to do or think with all the frustration and nit being able to trust me. So I have been reading up on alot and I am willing to give anything to make things right again so we are happy again. So this is day one for me and I am going to continue this untill the end rather things work out befor the 40 days or not. I wish everyone luck and hope as I do for my self.

I was with my boyfriend for almost 6 years. Back in the summer we started having a lot of trouble with arguing and disagreeing about a lot of different things. I am ready for a marriage and I am not sure that he is. We have been separated going on 4 months and it has been the worst 4 months! I have started the Love Dare in hoping the Lord will help save our relationship. I am through the half way point and have found myself praying harder and harder each day. He has no idea I am going this dare. In fact we have not spoken in almost a month. I pray that the Lord starts working in both of our hearts. Neither one of us are perfect and I have learned so much about myself already and ways I need to change. The love I thought I was showing him was not Christ like love. I am praying he feels my prayers everyday and I pray that the Lord and the Love Dare will bring us back together. The Lord keeps showing me Philippians 4:6&7. I am to the point where I will do anything to help save our relationship so that we may have a brand new relationship that is centered around Christ. I pray that he sees the changes in me.

A week ago we were on the cusp 13 years married and on the brink of divorce. 7 days into it we're 13 years married and already seeing the sun though the clouds. I'm grateful I found this in an abandoned library, I'm glad I was struck to take a couple copies, I'm grateful he was willing to try it with me, and I'm so very grateful it happened before his next deployment in January. This one will make 8 for us and a grand total of 52 months deployed. I can say without a doubt we wouldn't have survived this one, and I'm encouraged to think we might now. I can't wait to see where our hearts are at at the end of it!

My husband and I have been married 16 yrs. Two days ago he told me he has been having an affair for 8 months. He came clean with everything. We have three teenagers at home. We are trying to work it out but I just don't know if his heart is in it. He doesn't know what he feels for this other girl. My heart was given to him 16 yrs ago and don't know what to do. I love him so much but he says the reason he strayed wasi wasn't paying enough attention to him. We were intimate 4-6 times a week. What can I do to try and mend or save my marriage of 16 years.

My husband and I have been together for 7 years and married for 2 1/2. We have a 16 months old daughter who is an absolute gift from God. Our marriage started to crumble shortly after I found out I was pregnant with her. The constant fighting has lead to lots of resentment and now we are separated. He says I'm not affectionate anymore and that he's given up trying to make me happy. He says he doesn't know if he loves me anymore and that he just doesn't care anymore. I love my husband with all my heart and I see us ending in a very nasty divorce. That is why I'm doing the Love Dare. I want my husband to love me again.

This is day 2 of The Love Dare. Day 1 came and went with no reaction from my husband. This does not discourage me. I do need prayer, though. He is not a Christian and is very anti God. I have always been told that I need to be the change that I want to see. It seems that I abandoned my Christian upbringing and have tried to do things my way (especially in this marriage). We are in crisis. 15 years and 8 deployments later, our marriage is in shambles. Verbally abusive to one another and sometimes it has been physical. I pray that God will take away the bitterness and hatred in my heart. I want my husband to see Jesus through me. On to Day 3!

I have made the biggest mistake of my life. I have been married to my best friend for 4 1/2 years. We had the picture perfect life; beautiful home, great jobs and wonderful family and friends. I have been having an affair for the past year and a half. Now that all the truth is out my husband doesn't know what to do. He says he still loves me but doesn't know if he can ever get over this. I have committed myself to fight for his love and forgiveness daily. I am not deserving of either but pray he sees past that and agrees to make our marriage work. Today is Day 1 for me and I am putting all my efforts into this dare to help save my marriage. Please say an extra prayer for our marriage - I need and am praying for a miracle.
