Family Movies can be a great way to start conversations in your family. Many times there are issues in families that we dont know how to bring up or deal with so one option is to find a movie that deals with a similar topic and watch it as a family.
Family Movie Nights are a great idea. Pick movies that you know will reach every age that is present, and has a relevance to your family!
- If your family is learning to give to the poor or also the angle of dealing with death of a family memeber maybe watch the movie 'Christmas Shoes' and talk about it.
- If your marriage is in trouble check out the movie Fireproof.
- If you/your husband could use some encouragement on being a Father/Man of God check out 'Courageous'.
- Facing the Giants is great for families/couples that are struggling.
