Don't you just love a good romance movie?There's something about watching two characters meet and fall in love that really tugs at our heartstrings. They might have their struggles to finally end up together, but at the end it's all tied up in a pretty bow. And they all live happily every after.
The reality is, that's not a true romance story. Real life relationships are so often filled with twists and turns, high points and low points. Where happily ever after ends, real life begins. To be honest, you don't often see that in the movies. We never see what happens after the honeymoon ends.
A few years ago I fell in love with the movie Fireproof because it DID show just that. It was open and real about the realities that marriage wasn't always easy--- but a reminder that that it was worth fighting for. I found myself wishing there were more stories just like those. Perhaps if there were, people would be more willing to keep fighting, even if it didn't look like the movies.
Today, I'm sharing another great movie that does just that, Indivisible:
INDIVISIBLE is the extraordinary true story of Army Chaplain Darren Turner and his wife Heather, whose lives are fully devoted to serving God, family, and country. But when war etches deep battle scars—both overseas and on the home front—the Turners’ rock-solid marriage is shaken to its core. Carrying burdens the other can’t comprehend, they must decide if they’re willing to face one more battle: the fight to save their marriage. From the director of The Grace Cardand the studio that brought you Fireproof and War Room comes INDIVISIBLE, the story of one marriage ... one family ... under God. Starring Sarah Drew, Justin Bruening, Jason George, Tia Mowry, and Madeline Carroll.As a military wife, this movie certainly struck home with me. I understood all too well those fears of having a spouse fighting a war far away. The anxiety with every knock at the door. The loneliness that can so often accompany that. I also understood the impact that this life can have on families. It changes people, that readjustment is hard. I have seen all too often how it can tear families apart when husbands return from war, but can never seem to return to their family. I have seen many a strong marriage crumble under the pressure.
Much like Fireproof, I loved the realness in this movie--- even more so knowing that it was in fact based on a true story. Like I said, real love stories have their ups and their downs--- and without faith, without work--- we can all too easily allow those downs to destroy us. This is a movie that ALL married couples should see, but especially those living the military life and dealing with all that goes with that.
