I agree the acting could have been better, but what a beautiful message. It was so "real". I think the script itself was great. We watched it with my newly married sister and BIL, they are very young, no kids and have never been married before - both of them said "well I cant imagine a marriage ever getting THAT bad...". Ha!

"God grant me the serenity accept the things I cannot change; the strength to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Me and my husband loaded all the kids up one night to go to the movies. Boy we they mad because they wanted to go to their friends or have friends over but we explained we wanted a family night for the purpose of this movie. My husband and I cried throughout the movie and the girls really enjoyed the message of the movie and so did I. I do recommend this movie and I hope to buy it soon so it is apart of our home.

After watching I asked him what he thought....started a great conversation and a fresh beginning for us.

Awesome "b" movie without Hollywood's version of what marriage is.....I recommend it!

Thank you Disney for portraying a positive image on all stepmothers!!!!

I cried non-stop the last 30 minutes of the movie. Agreed the acting was not the best but after finding out that they were all volunteers from the church I decided that they weren't bad for actors that have never had any formal training. I recommend this movie to EVERYONE....married or not. The message is remarkable and is a wake up call even if you aren't fighting in your marriage. I took a step back and thought about how I act/react in my marriage and I have to say that sometimes I should likely bite my tongue when I don't. I know that I don't deserve to be loved all of the time but it sure is nice to know that much like God....my husband loves me unconditionally. Our situation drives me insane sometimes but I have to admit that I love my husband more than anything and I'm going to make a conscience effort not to take him for granted and to show him every day that I love him unconditionally too.

about this movie, we bought it but have not had a chance to watch it. My 9yr old saw it in the movies with her cousin and she really liked it, she is mature for her age, and told me and dh that we needed to watch it. Hopefully we will be able to this weekend.

We watched it Valentines day weekend. The acting was beyond corny....Kirk Cameron can't use contractions like 'can't' or 'don't'...it's just bizarre to hear him talk like that. Plus, when he had her cornered and fist in her face saying something about "you're a disrespectful woman" I laughed and not in a good way...it was way lame...no man who has his fist in your face is going to say that, so that was a really stupid script thing. But, corny dialog aside, the movie made me really uncomfortable throughout because it really hits the fundamental ways men and women are as couples. I swear we've had similar fights that they showed in the movie (minus the lame dialog). So, that really hit home with me.
The point of the movie was excellent and I want to order the workbook and see how it goes.
Delilah(you know the lovesong radio chick) highly recommended the movie and it definitely was worth watching!

My church sister and myself arranged to have this movie shown at our church tonight. I'm looking forward to the possible help/changes that may come from it, but also a bit nervous because we've been fighting at home all week and I know I will bawl and snot like a little baby. Oh well, whatever helps. Probably won't look any more ignorant than I do when I'm "bit**ing and complaining" as he calls it.
