Fireproof 'The Movie"

I watched a good movie today that brought tears to my eyes,
A young married couple were on the verge of divorce, but neither knew why.
He was a firefighter and brave as could be, 
She worked in a hospital to help provide for family.

Somewhere something went terribly wrong,
They just fussed and fought and could not get along.
Both so in love when they first said I do,
But now they lived like strangers, neither knowing what to do.

Both of them thought their marriage was through,
But not his dad he knew what to do.
He gave him a challenge that would take forty days,
Each day something knew and done in various ways.

About half way through the challenge he realized what was wrong,
But she said it was to late, she wanted out all along.
The rest of the movie is when it gets good,
But I won’t spoil the ending, not even if I could.

I recommend this movie highly as one of the best that I’ve seen,
It’ll bring tears to your eyes, unless your heartless and mean.
I’d give it a ten for a low budget film,
You won’t find one better it’s really a gem.

Ronald, sorry I didn't relate the title of the poem to the title of the movie. I'll be sure to catch it now! Carolyn By the way, Benjamin Button is awesome, too.

Thanks for the recommendation and the wonderful poem. Nice use of rhyme. Working out challenges is a part of life--one too many choose to run away from these days. Keep on writing! Have a nice day. Karen

Maybe they just didn't see enough of each other because of their jobs, loved this story though and really brings light to changing relationships. enjoyed reading and have a great day.
