About the movie:
At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives
by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the
cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules.
Growing up, Catherine Holt always dreamed of marrying a
loving, brave firefighter...just like her daddy. Now, after seven years of
marriage, Catherine wonders when she stopped being "good enough" for her
husband.
Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and
outside interests have readied them both to move on to something with more
sparks.
As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings,
Caleb's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: "The Love
Dare." Wondering if it's even worth the effort, Caleb agrees-for his father's
sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the book's daily
challenges are tied into his parents' newfound faith, his already limited
interest is further dampened.
While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes
frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, "How am I supposed to
show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?"
When his father explains that this is the love Christ shows
to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. And,
with God's help, he begins to understand what it means to truly
love his wife.
But is it too late to fireproof his marriage? His job is to
rescue others. Now Caleb Holt is ready to face his toughest job ever...rescuing
his wife's heart.
