although the first half of the film is a little dull and the preaching seems to be a little more preachy, overall, it is a very good film.
Especially brothers and sisters in marriage and those who are about to enter marriage.
Marriage is really a big task for us, and I believe that couples in marriage will experience it.
I believe it would be a lie if a couple said we were happy with each other, that we loved each other from the first day we met until death separated us.
Just as people will meet "giants" in their growth, there are also such battles in the journey of marriage. The temptation of the outside world, the change of each other's values and the inability to play in the same way, the loss of interest in studying each other after marriage, etc., will hinder us from having A truly happy family life.
And as Genesis chapter 2 verse 24 says, a man leaves his father and mother and joins his wife, and the two become one flesh. I am convinced that God created men and women with His deep meaning. Only by "unity" can we become complete. Husbands and wives have been together for a long time to help each other grow, and to make each other a more beautiful, pure and complete person.
Facing these marital problems together and solving them together is one way for a marriage to grow.
When the male protagonist in the movie accepted the "40 Days of Love Challenge" attempt in order to love his father deeply, in the first 20 days, he was just doing it for his father and himself, because he did not Know what true love is like.
It is you who reject the other party again and again, but the other party still loves you;
it is that you are not worthy of the other party to love you, but the other party still loves you;
it is that you even laugh at this love, but the other party still loves you. . .
This is Jesus' love for us.
But we can't do it. When our love and dedication are not reciprocated by the other party, we are angry, complaining and accusing;
when we measure each other and feel that the other party is not as good as before, and that the other party does not deserve us, We choose to seek out what we think is better;
That's because we haven't truly loved someone from the heart.
So when the male host repents before the Lord and asks for forgiveness, he begins to know how to listen to each other, study each other, care for each other, meet each other's needs, and do things that make them happy regardless of gain or loss. Instead of thinking that she is a captain in the fire brigade and a hero in the eyes of everyone, she can go home and be a bad husband for granted;
and that wife, when she sees in this man the miraculous change the Lord has inflicted, She chose to go back to marriage and was willing to let this change happen to herself.
At the end of the movie, the wife came to her husband's fire brigade for the first time, across the square of the fire brigade, she came over from a distance and said:
If I didn't tell you, say you are a good person; you are;
if I didn't tell you I have passed you and said I love you; I do;
if I didn't tell you that I have forgiven you; I have forgiven you....
Really touching.
This is the blessing of the Lord, the love of the Lord, and the glory of the Lord: because only he can do it.
