==Plot==
The film's story follows the lives of Caleb and Catherine Holt, a couple whose marriage of 7 years has grown cold and nears the breaking point. They have grown apart and the little interaction they share anymore amounts to snide comments and angry exchanges. Caleb is the captain of the city fire squad and his day-long shifts often leave Catherine home alone and him with no desire or energy to do work around the house
One night, their dissatisfaction with their marriage explodes with Caleb verbally lashing out at Catherine while backing her into a wall. Catherine breaks down and says she wants a divorce. Caleb calls his father and tells him the tragic news. His father drives to the Holt's house the next day to talk with his son. He tells Caleb to hold off on the divorce for forty days and that he will send Caleb something in the mail.
The package turns out to be a hand-written book called "the Love Dare," which contains forty insights into marriage, tips on how to express love and biblical verses. Each page is to be read, the advice and actions followed, one a day for forty days. Caleb attempts to use the book, but finds his half-hearted attempts ignored or rebuffed by his wife and soon loses hope after only a few days. The couple's problems continue, compounded by Caleb's addiction to internet pornography, bad advice given to Catherine from her coworkers and a flirtatious doctor Catherine works with.
