Making decisions can be hard for someone, especially when this entails big changes in personal or professional life. Marriage is one of those huge stages in life in which two people are joined together in a conjugal partnership. Marriage is meant to last forever and as people tend to say when repeating their conjugal vows: “to have and to hold from this day forward; for better or for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish from this day forward until death do us part." As much as we want this to be lived in happiness, marriage can sometimes face adversity. Adversity in marriage can be caused by miscommunication, loss of intimacy, stress or even addictions within the couple. The movie “Fireproof” directed by Alex Kendrick portrays a married couple going through the forthcoming specter of divorce and the difficulty it takes to overcome the challenges in order to save the marriage.

In the short video “Death by Fire” we learn of the story of Todd Willingham. We are presented with facts about a fire, which killed Willingham’s three children, which ultimately sent him to his death. The case begins in the small town of Corsicana, Texas. On December 13, 1991 Todd Willingham’s home was ablaze and his children were trapped inside. Neighbors say they witnessed Willingham outside, on the front porch screaming for his children and screaming for help. As the fire raged, firefighters arrived on the scene and were able to pull one of the children out of the home. Unfortunately all of the children died due to injuries they sustained in the fire. While the fire raged in the house Todd’s wife Stacy was out Christmas shopping and was unharmed. The attitude of Todd after the fire began to raise question with those who were close to him and also with investigators. The night after the fire, a local bar had a benefit to raise money for Todd’s family to help pay for the costs they would soon face. Many say that Todd became too involved with the festivities and seemed like he did not care his kids had just died. They say that Todd was bragging about how money would begin to roll in because people would feel bad for him. Having seen these things, investigators immediately labeled Todd as their prime suspect.
