Fireproof | Caleb's Apology

[@leroysully6773]

my marriage ended a little over 11 years ago, i never saw this movie before it ended but after watching it, i have fallen back in love with my ex wife even though she has no feelings for me at all. all i do is just pray and trust that God who is a miracle worker changes her heart and brings her back to me but i know before that happens i have to give my all to Him and rededicate my life to Him. whether it ends the way i hope or not, i still love her and always will.

[@smilingjenn]

I love how he apologizes with out laying blame on her, they both made mistakes but he truly used Gods Grace to apologize from the heart!

[@stihlthebest]

I'm a 50 year old married male and every time I watch this part I cry. Thank you Kendrick Brothers for such a great movie and making me realize what a jack ass I've been too my wife and realize JESUS is the WAY, the truth and the light!!!!!!!!

[@jwright2814]

When Caleb gets on his knees to apologize to his wife, I began weeping as I pictured myself in his place and his words as my prayer to Christ.

[@accousticdecay]

I have been married over 30 years and this movie taught me some hard lessons. You are never too old or too far gone. I am changed forever. 5-stars for the best movie ever.

[@couzies]

when he starts crying...that's when i lose it. beautiful.

[@FreeKentHovind]

I LOVE this movie! I hate it when there are those who say it's for the "brainwashed" ppl - whether you like it or not, Christ is the Creator of Marriage & He is the glue that holds Husband & Wife together! If that bothers you, TOUGH!

[@gpadepedro]

This movie should be used by marriage counselors.

[@wifeita]

Hoping that my husband will one day understand what love is about. God give me the faith to not give up on the dream.

[@eejhj85]

This makes me cry. My fiancee and I watched this movie and it's helped our relationship.We could've split a few times, but we made a promise to never leave our partner behind, especially in a fire. I am thankful this movie was made. It touches the deepest part of the heart.

[@BethTraveler]

For me, this is peak of the movie. I love this part. Caleb led his marriage in a godly way. When man leads, women just follow.

[@reenata36]

Kirk and Erin both do an outstanding job here. This film has a powerful message and God is using it to impact a lot of people.

[@anddonini]

Even the best people endure hurts and heartaches in marriage. This humility and apology is amazing. This movie is amazing... every single married couple should watch it, especially if they are going through a rough patch, and especially if they are considering separation.

[@Lukeiru]

I love this scene. It shows how God's love really works. Notice how Caleb just took in Catherine's negative comments and responded positively. A person without God may have been a little more piss if they're being sincere and the other is not fully accepting it. God gives us patience and this film made me realize how important it really is for God to take control of a person's love life. I honestly never put much thought into it before.

[@TheOrdinaryAccountant]

like the movie says, you cannot give love until you have been loved (by Christ)

[@eejhj85]

"So, what day are you on?", "Uh, 43...", "There's only 40" "Who says I have to stop?..." (I love that part...we shouldn't stop loving just because a book has a limit...love is a continuing cycle)

[@sgdejong]

This one changed my Caracter in all the issues the man had. I had the same problems exept for the High temper. with Tears in my eyes i watched this movie and i saw myself in him. it changed my life for the better in not being selfish and selfcentered but Christ centered, and Humbeling yourself to the fullest and coming to know even better what true Love is all about. I thank God Making this Movie Happen so many can realize what True Love is all about.. especially in Marriage. AMEN.

[@voyagerfanatic]

I was SOBBING during this part the first time I watched Fireproof. I couldn't stop crying.

[@808kamahiwa]

i originally bought this movie because of the guy that plays caleb holt. but as i watched it, i was floored! it grabs your heart and mind and makes you better appreciate the people in your life!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

[@mavrickiii]

My favorie love story used to be A walk to remember and the notebook. But this one really was totally unpredictable, unexpected. For me this is a must see for everyone not just couples.

[@_acjohn]

This movie has really inspired me, I am so touched by it.. Thank You Lord for redemption... and I have already started to share this clip to many others especially us men, who find it very hard to come to this point but when we put God in front of ourselves he transforms us into powerful men, the women cannot refuse. Amen

[@accousticdecay]

I will pray for you. This movie made me ashamed of the way I treated my wife and I have been better. She has stayed with me for 34 years in spite of my acting like a jackass. God can help you - he sure helped me! Please Jesus help this man!

[@OHara1973]

This is the greatest movie ever made!Even though the Love Dare didn't work in my situation. It still changed my life. I will always live and love more effectively because of this movie and the book.

[@charminpitts]

Watched this movie about a month and half ago and cried my eyes out. I knew our marriage was on the rocks, but two weeks ago, after being together 23 years, he told me time I woke up on a Sunday morning, that he had already found someone else and it was over. I've been with him since I was 15 years old and I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm destroyed.

[@RitaTaylor77]

i'm actually divorce and watching this movie was extremely hard but i'm glad i did...i cried through the whole thing...i have learn so much through this movie...i don't know if its too late for me but Gods love is full of grace and new adventures and this movie is just not about marriage but relationships and how we treat God and others...caleb apologized to her mom and really that was awesome sometimes we don't realized how we treat others...

[@TitiAnita7]

I have this movie and I cry everytime i get to this part.Great movie. They should make more movies about the struggles we face in relationships and fighting for your partner and not giving up or moving on because you think you can start over. Relationships are work.

[@tandiechips]

I felt blessed watching this movie.Many people underestimate the power of God in their marriages. It's important to stand by your partner, never leave your partner behind when there's fire! Thank you for this movie and i pray it will help us and many others .

[@foxmaiman]

Everyone volunteered in this movie. If you been married for a long time This movie really makes sense.

[@techi9]

to people of faith(me included) this was probably the best and most underrated faith based movie made in the past 10 years.

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

It is NOT about money at all! The message is that, at one point he valued and spent what he had on selfish desires. But now he is willing to sacrifice and give himself up for her and her desires, for her good, for the Lord, and that beautiful, God given blessing of marriage. Love is about what one is willing to give up for it, not about how much one has. If a man is willing to give up all he has for a woman, then he truly is loving her, whether it's 5 dollars or 5 million.

[@DavidNance]

One of the most powerful moments in this movie. 2nd only to the scene of Caleb and his father at the cross when Caleb explains his reasons for it not working and states that she's spat in his face. Only to have is father make him realize that he has done the same thing to Jesus. These two points in this movie broke me and are helping me get past my issues in my own marriage. We serve a mighty, powerful God who loves us unconditionally. No matter how badly we've wronged Him, He is there waiting.

[@jessiejlp1987]

this is one of my favorite movies and kirk cameron's best work ever. i loved every minute of it. even though ive loved most everything hes been in i had no idea he could act this good.

[@IFRMagicMike]

If you liked Fireproof, go watch Courageous

[@Xaforn]

This is what I'm waiting for, I too will apologize cause I know I haven't been perfect. My husband is such a stubborn man, i almost can't help but fear for him what it would take for God to bring him to this spot. But I keep praying, it's my only hope, God said he answers the oppressed.

[@RegineNoelle23]

Two words: Tear. Jerker. Dang. I have seen this movie way too many times to count and I started tearing up at 3:00 before he'd even started apologizing!!!

[@foxmaiman]

Great part of the movie I can relate to Caleb. This movie will save a lot of marriages. Even if it saves one it was worth it.

[@IKECH545]

-That is what I call a true apology! :)

[@firecapt100]

Powerful, and yes, my favorite scene was when Catherine found out Caleb purchased the bed and chair. This movie simply is wonderful. The acting may not be the best, but the message it so well gets across hits a home run. Japanman, simple question for you.....What if it is true? I, like many here, claim Jesus Christ of Nazareth as my Lord and Savior. He saved a wretch like me. I am not deserving, but will always be thankful.

[@erdalketu]

its so hearttouching movie and surely God does move through this!

[@rainbowmagicness]

This is so beautiful. Makes me cry.

[@alterbridgefan99]

I cried like a little baby lol! This is the most Amazing movie I've ever seen!!!!

[@torianberry]

Everyone shold understand who needs to participate in the Love Dare. It's not the person or person doomed in the relationship. It's the person that realizes the relationship is doomed. Trust God that upon your conviction, the other person will follow.

[@TravoltaMoonFan7]

There is actually a Kirk Cameron interview you can find on KZbin, where he says it is his wife, and on google if you search for pictures of Fireproof, you will eventually find a picture of Kirk and a woman, both of their faces are shown, and she is indeed Kirk's wife, Chelsea. And I know what you mean, I have so much respect for Kirk, he is my favourite actor.

[@ChippyChopper]

@30nomad Yes it does exist, it's called the Love Dare. It wasn't "complete" from the beginning but was finished after people asked for the book after seeing the movie.

[@quelamarie]

Caleb made the decision to give his life to Christ. It is expected that Catherine not knowing Christ would act the way she did towards Caleb. Like Caleb,she was not innocent. They both contributed to the breakdown of their marriage, however Caleb came to her confessing all that he had done wrong in the marriage instead of blaming her for her past and current faults. Caleb proved by his love for her and desire to save to their marriage with the sacrifice of his much desired boat.

[@paragon1740]

this scene is soooo powerful. Great Writing, Directing and Acting!

[@chrissy43410]

I bawled my eyes out through this whole thing....this movie was absolutely amazing. =]

[@krzyirish329]

I got chill bumps ALL over again.. this was a VERY inspiring movie.. and to be so closed minded to think well men wrote it.. is sad... I pray you one day find REAL love and you will get this totally!!!

[@JustinJoshuva]

This is a great movie. it shows God's love for us and love we should have for others. I am not married yet, but This has made me realize that I need God's help every second when I would be married.

[@Whyistomatoafruit]

Ok, I CRIED during this scene and I don't cry in movies, especially religious ones...very touching.

[@IKECH545]

"Who says I have to stop?" :)

[@pattyg1821]

I Always say that God is the Director/Producer of Life and we are all the actors. He knows how it will end for us all.

[@Mdavis586]

This movie gets me every time. I love it and I think every dating and marriage couple should watch this movie.

[@veganath]

Even if your NOT CHRISTIAN don't let that stop you! This is a really spiritually awakening story, it speaks volumes to the truth beyond knowledge.(WARNING: contains a little provincial dogma.. ) Probably the only thing it didn't address was that a couples love(spiritual bond) needs to grow beyond themselves, immediate family, friends & to include a growing love & compassion for animals & nature, however, for that I recommend watching PEACEABLE KINGDOM

[@baaboo1]

Beautiful! Thanks for posting!

[@hondamaniack]

It makes me cry everytime

[@ChippyChopper]

nope, I got these scenes off of a DVD that was released for a sermon series back during the movie premire in theatres. The entire movie is now available on DVD.

[@princessllizy]

i want this to happen to my parents. MAybe my father wasnt like him but ...well i pray that Lord will unify my parents again

[@polysorbate80]

Beautiful! I love this movie soooo much

[@butteryprincess]

great scene...i wish my husband would fight for me/our marriage like caleb.

[@Christiedominguez]

That was beautiful.

[@valance86]

this is a very good film that talks about how two people can make their marriage work... it's not cheesy at all,it''s very true.

[@rene6030]

Tx ppl.. i was about to ask the same question for this book.. I'm a buddhist but i agree with every single lesson from this movie..

[@Incolere]

Are you serious! God is so good! Do you know that while I was watching this movie in the theatre, I was not happy that Kirk Cameron kissed another woman. But now that you are saying this, I am so OVERJOYED! I have nothing but respect for Kirk and this just solidifies it even more. How did you hear of this??? Thank you for this post!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidcookfreak101]

the best part of the movie right here!!! i love it!!! like in movies whenevr the guy cries is whn i cry!! its adorable!!lol

[@jamaicadude82]

this is the part of the movie that made me feel sorry for be a jerk to the most important girl in my life

[@Shh003]

If he doesn't then he wasn't meant to. Continue to hold to the lord and one day the right person will say words even sweeter than those to you. God bless you.

[@asianjovi]

I absolutely love this movie. Kirk Cameron was absolutely awesome in this movie!!

[@Me4EverNatalie]

He married her because he loved her just like an a friendship you fight u become friends then when you fight you break apart same with this he married but then they slowly faded away because they didn't have Jesus after they or one have Jesus in there heart he will take over that is why Jesus is the key to everything

[@God_Guns_n_Dixie]

right up there w/ passion of the christ, facing the giants and flywheel

[@baaboo1]

Beautiful! Take care!

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

Are you implying that Godly love is somehow common-sensical and obvious to us? Love is not a flutter of the heart of a fluffy feeling; love suffers long and is learned through much discipline and devotion. We are not born with selfless love, we must suffer for it. Just look at the cross and see true love suffering, and that sort of love only comes through the transforming spirit of God. God's word, as well as other books, can be POWERFUL tools to change us.

[@Chocobear555]

I found that out the other day. Good for him. :)

[@larissabraz1]

Perfect scene!!!

[@marriagehelp100]

I love my wife deeply but have no way of her knowing since she left me over a month ago unexpectedly while I was at church. She doesn't call or anything. She was the classic lady and woman throughout. Sad that a few arguments could cause someone to really leave besides parents and family that don't like the husband.

[@hopelessromantic1311]

I love this scene!! :')

[@KarenGuitarteRasonable]

David is just one man in the bible who failed in his decision regarding his family life, but remember there is also Joshua who stand for what is right & said, "For me & my house we will serve the Lord".

[@winner24211]

good luck i'm glad you took on this challenge and wish you the best of luck in the rest of your life journey

[@JeremiahTrane]

This is one sweet movie....I have the book and it is great

[@downtoawhisper]

@Malkmusianful Just because acting is pretend, doesn't mean that one should compromise their morals for it. Kirk Cameron made the right decision to have his wife stand in for the kiss in end of the movie. He doesn't want to commit adultery, even if it's for the sake of acting.

[@michaelhoxie9757]

Well that's one prayer God won't answer for u. Now to the man that is praying for his wife to come back: God bless u, keep it up!

[@geraldsitorus]

one thing i dislike from the movie is that the Catherine's character seems so innocent here. If a marriage doesnt work, it should be from both side. I almost cried for all the things Caleb did. But the wife? she wasnt giving attention to him as well at the beginning of the movie. Disrespectful. And (almost) cheated in the end. And then? Still Caleb is the one who begged? And she accepted him back only after knowing he paid? Doesnt make sense.

[@corbett1970]

If you think a book can't help someone you are very ignorant. Sometimes you need to be reminded by outside words.

[@Chocobear555]

What a cruel, hateful, evil, vile thing to say. Just because you live a bitter and lonely life, that doesn't mean that you should wish it on anyone else.

[@steelerbob24]

im going thru a seperation and trusting god

[@lizreyes08]

Best Movie EVER!!!!!!!!

[@Baphomet_420]

This was a great movie...

[@fcscreen]

God Knows, lay your trust on Him.

[@rockstargirl213]

I met kirk cameron in feb. They were showing this at a church in cali

[@australopithecus3820]

Gave me a big chuckle! But you're right. :)

[@Soulflyz78]

Maybe that man never really knew what loving someone really was and that book helped him realize what he should have been doing all along. What's wrong with that?

[@dkmy77]

God is Love

[@The19meli94]

awesome!

[@jgarzaq]

@geraldsitorus Its hard to understand, as you say it makes no sense, no logic, but if you see through the eyes of love, the true love of God and the lessons he teached us, forgiveness, no pride, respect for the other, patience, you can understand the "personal battle" that Caleb fought in the movie. I'm right now fighting that battle, believe me, its tough, its hard, worst than everything, but I have faith in Jesus that its worth the pain..

[@gravyfunky]

I need to know if there are other movies like this out there. I'd like to have a collection of good, wholesome, clean movies that teach people about the important things, and that it is a sturggle to have them. If we're going to struggle in this world, then let us struggle towards things that will make us, others, or the world better. And does anyone have the Love Dare book online or something- I'm poor.

[@scott1971bd]

Tho my wife left,after recent saved i try hard evday 2 luv evbody my life n b kind even enemys.its whats wrong world 2day so mean 1anothr.i hope find tru luv again,my ex is so happy.laugh@me but a good woman n god can make a good man acomplish anythang!ty jesus 4 healn me.

[@wearly1977]

i love jesus

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

Be careful here... you are touching on a prevailing problem with our culture. There is nothing wrong with being entertained, but if truth is not being shared through movies, then what are they worth? Movies, as well as music, have an amazing power to bypass our reason and influence us passively. If someone can take a sermon on true marriage and turn it into an entertaining and beautiful movie and capture the imagination with TRUTH, then I believe the movie has served its true purpose.

[@plingberk]

welcome to the new normal=)...

this aint no religion. this is a lifestyle!
