The Love Challenge

By Linda J. Bagley, M.A., LMFT

Many people have been encouraged by the recent movie, Fireproof, which is a story about Captain Caleb Holt, a fireman whose marriage is facing collapse and how he uses a specific strategy to bring love back into his relationship with his wife.  The movie depicts a realistic struggle that couples often face when one or both have lost the spark and think that it might be better to just divorce and try again with someone else. 

 

Indeed it is a difficult task to revive warmth and passion from a marriage that appears to be dead with no hope for survival.  In this story we see that it is worth trying to get the love back and how it changes both husband and wife in the process.

 

You Can ‘Fireproof' Your Marriage

 

If you want to make real changes in your marriage relationship there is hope.  You can register for a 40-day program designed to give you all that you will need to strengthen your marriage.

 

This program is based on the popular book, The Love Dare, which was featured in the film, Fireproof. You can join the growing number of spouses learning how to enhance their marriages by taking The Love Challenge.  You will learn more about the program by going to our website, www.mfmcouns eling.com

 

We Challenge you to Love your mate for 40 days straight!

 

Each person chooses to take The Love Challenge individually.  However, you won't be alone because the program is designed to give you support as you go through the process!  Even if you are the only one working on your relationship, there is hope that you will see changes. 

 

Some couples choose to sign up individually and yet do it together.  This makes the experience even more satisfying when both are committed to the process. 

 

One of the features that makes The Love Challenge so successful is the coaching principle.  As is true in most life experiences, we do much better if we have someone advising us and cheering us on in our attempts to change.  In the movie this role of coach is filled by Caleb's father, who keeps challenging him to stay with the program even though there are many times Caleb wants to give up.

 

You can sign up to have your own personal Love Coach advising and guiding you as you take on the tasks and put them into practice. 

 

You will also be asked to choose an Accountability Partner: someone whose marriage is strong and will be able to encourage you as you go through the challenge. You will need to ask this person to support you on your 40 day journey to a better marital relationship.
