This evening the hubster and I watched this movie called Not Easily Broken by T.D. Jakes who happens to be a very famous pastor. Before some of you sigh and navigate away from this page, hear me out. Its not just another "Christian" movie. Yes it has some aspect of religion in it, but the main focus is around love and marriage; how to get and keep it. I know we all have our religious differences but on the subject of love, we speak the same language.
Seriously, seriously, seriously, I implore you to watch this movie if you are married, trying to get married, or just in a relationship. If I were teaching a premarital course or marriage counseling, I would highly recommend this movie. It touches upon topics that are highly important to building a foundation for any relationship.
A few important themes that the movie addresses are:
1. Keeping your business your business. Nobody else should be in your relationship but the two of you
2. Communication is key. No further comment is necessary for this one
3. Respect one another.
4. Support one another
Thats all because I'm not a relationship counselor. I'm still learning this stuff.
I know some of you may be wondering why I am writing about this and I'm sure a few of you know why. We spend so much time, energy, and money planning our weddings. The wedding lasts for a couple of hours that ends quickly. All we really have left are the pictures and memories. I think that we need to spend more effort into preparing for the marriage, which can last for years. When all the glitz and glamour is gone, the wedding dress is tucked away, what is left?
Think about it.

I recently saw this movie and was pleasently surprised by how thought provoking it is. The Groom and I had a nice conversation after watching it. Good movie.
