Marriage is a complicated thing. It requires constant work and patience. How far would you go to make a failing marriage work? Would you be willing to turn to faith?
Firefighter Caleb and his Hospital Public Relations person wife, Catherine, has been married for 7 years. The marriage has become increasingly hostile and now, Catherine wants out. Caleb isn't ready to give up yet.
After an explosive argument, Catherine tells Caleb that she wants out, she just wants out.
Caleb talks to his firefighter co- workers and his father about his failing marriage, looking for advice and wisdom. Catherine talks to her female coworkers and begins to notice, and be noticed by a new young doctor, Gavin, at the hospital she works at.
During the talks with Calebs father, he is asked to hold of the divorce for 40 days and to try a Love Dare that saved his marriage to Calebs mother.
This love dare requires Caleb to do 1 thing a day for 40 days to show his love his for his wife.
Hesitant at first, and doing barely enough to get by Caleb begins the love dare. Al the while, Catherine slips slowly away from Caleb and towards Gavin. Catherine does notice the slight change in caleb and that he is being nicer to her. however, her friends convince her that he is just buttering her up to make the divorce easier.
Going through the motions of the day by day exercises, Caleb prepares a nice dinner for Catherine in the hopes this will begin to get her back. Catherine comes home, finds the nicely set table and a nicely dressed Caleb awaiting her. Catherine, having no interest in this tells Caleb that She no longer loves him.
Ready to give up, Caleb talks to his father again who convinces him to press on. Caleb presses on finds not only his faith but a new found love for Catherine. This leaves him even less willing to give her up.
The fight for his marriage continues.
While it is a love story, it is also a heavily religious read.
