In an attempt to save his marriage, a firefighter uses a 40-day experiment known as "The Love Dare."

Thus, Cameron's character finds himself on a journey of trying to save his marriage before it's too late. "The Love Dare" becomes the key tool in his seemingly impossible and daunting quest to stop him and his wife from divorcing.

How does The Love Dare work?

One question you might be wondering is: How does "The Love Dare" work? As we answer that question, let's explore the themes and purpose of the book.

A description for the book reads, in part, "Unconditional love is eagerly promised at weddings, but rarely practiced in real life. As a result, romantic hopes are often replaced with disappointment in the home. But it doesn’t have to stay that way." With that in mind, "The Love Dare" is meant to inspire couples.

It's a 40-day challenge for both husbands and wives that points them back to unconditional love for one another.

Is there a love dare app?

In addition to a book, you might be wondering about other options for engaging in this content. For instance: Is there a Love Dare app? The answer: yes, there is.

While "The Love Dare" app isn't available on Apple, you'll find it in the Android store. Here's a description of "The Love Dare" app:

The app is based on The Love Dare, a non-fiction marriage-related book written by Alex and Stephen Kendrick. It is a 40-day Christian devotional designed to strengthen marriages. Each daily devotion includes scripture, a statement of principle, the day’s "dare," (such as "Resolve to say nothing negative to your spouse at all") and a journaling area and check box to chart progress.

Now that we've tackled those questions, you have a good idea about what "The Love Dare" is truly about. If you want to see the book lived out in action, then watch the office Love Dare movie "Fireproof" right now on Pure Flix.
