What makes a promise--and a marriage? The deep success of the fearless and ultimately positive film Not Easily Broken is that it doesn't attempt to answer that question--only ask it, bravely, from many different perspectives. Morris Chesnutt and Taraji P. Henson give deep, heartfelt performances as Dave and Clarice, a married couple with shards of friction working at their bonds. Their lives are instantly relatable, as they deal with waves of boredom, distraction, conflicting goals, and deep love they may sometimes take for granted. After Clarice is injured, her overbearing mom (Jenifer Lewis) moves in to help care for her, and a chain of tests and challenges begins to unfold. The career-focused Clarice has a mini-showdown with her well intentioned mother: "In all your lessons about how to be strong, you left out some very important things", Clarice cries to her mother (Jenifer Lewis), who snaps, "What?" "How to love, Mama!" The film, based on the novel by the best-selling author T.D. Jakes, embraces spirituality, but never preaches (a combination that would be welcome in more films about relationships and family), and the decisions of its characters are always believable--sometimes heartbreakingly so. Savor the real-world rewards, and the spiritual overtones, of a love fought for, in Not Easily Broken. --A.T. Hurley
Synopsis
Based on the best selling novel by T.D. Jakes, a couple's strength and faith are tested after the wife is injured in a car crash and her husband becomes attracted to another woman.

I watched this movie on sky last night with my husband and I have to say we very much enjoyed it.
The story line was good, I found it addressed some of the serious issues that most married couples face.
Basically, bottom line it is telling you, if you keep God in your marriage it will not make these issues go away but easier to deal with. God is first and foremost and everything else will follow. A great movie, I would recommend it to anyone. Well done!
P.S I love the way Clarice speaks to her mom without disrespecting her. We all have encountered the meddling parent at one point or the other and must sometimes tell them to keep out!

Format:DVD
This DVD was most inspiring for those who are about to or are married.
It's real and it's deep.
Shows how a women should respect her husband and how a man should love his wife.
Knowing that no one should come between them and if there is a dispute don't let anyone have a say but search the word of GOD as He is the one the husband and wife made a promise to as well as to each other.
Loved the movie

I decided to purchase this DVD because I'm currently going through a difficult time in my marriage. My wife and I cannot seem to agree on a next step to tackle issues in our marriage and I thought this would be good to watch to get another perspective. Above all else, this film reaffirmed to me that every marriage goes through it's own struggles and how unmet needs can drive a couple apart. I watched it independently of my wife (she watched it later on her own) and I could relate to so much of it. It was also good that as a Christian, it had a religious element that's usually ignored by Hollywood in such films: the truth that God is the 3rd and most important strand in a marriage.
The film gave me hope that love triumphs over all and the bumps along the way is not uncommon and can strengthen a marriage if you're prepared to work at it. I look forward to the day we can set aside our personal differences and remember the reasons why we decided to commit to a lifetime together ...
