Saturday evening, me and my wife (along with more than 75 other couples) attended "Date Night" (dinner and a movie) as part of the Marriage Enrichment Ministry of our church. The evening started with a feast at Famous Dave's and concluded with the Christian movie "FIREPROOF" at the Riverview Theatre on Delaware Avenue in Philly. Needless to say, the food was great... it was a meal fit for a King and, of course, his Queen. After dinner, even more couples from our church joined us at the theatre and "packed the house" to see the movie so, there were far more people present than those shown in the photos below.
The movie is about a firefighter who lives by the old adage, "Never leave your partner behind"... but, at home, he lives by his own rules. After seven years of marriage, he and his wife are having so many arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and other outside interests that their marriage is in ruins. As the couple prepares for divorce, the firefighter's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment called "The Love Dare" to recapture his wife's heart and save his marriage. Everyone really enjoyed the movie and prayerfully, we all learned something from it. A good time was had by all and the evening was a success (that's me and my wife... top row, center).
