Married & Loving it? – A Christian Movie

The Film

The Story

A young Pastor loses his job and his life is disrupted after being accused of infidelity by his assistant Pastor who is envious of his position in the church.

Synopsis

Pastor Felix and his wife Mimi have a very passionate marriage with a thriving sex life. Their special date nights are sacred and special to them, until everything turns upside down. The past came to catch up with what seemed like a fairy tale love affair. Adultery, infidelity, scandals, pornography and hatred come in and destroy a world that seemed to be “A happily ever after” story. Can this world be repaired? Can the family be rebuilt? Can the past be erased?
Is it true that a marriage can be that great? Is porn addiction a real problem? How long can a sexless marriage of convenience last in a hyper sexed world. Forced into a life they never planned the couples are brought to the reality of pain and frustration in marriage. They are brought to a place where they have to talk about issues that are often considered to be taboo in the world around us and more so in the church that is riddled by the same drama that is in the world.
A simple date night was about to turn into a two-year drama that would leave the family broke, broken, in distress and distraught.

The Vision

Building God centred marriages that are Married and Loving It
In a world that is filled with pain and brokenness we seek to bring answers packaged in high quality films that speak to the heart. Paradigm Films was birthed to visuals that encourage people to rediscover the joy of life as God intended it for mankind.
This particular film focuses on marriage. We believe that strong societies are built on strong marriages. When the moral fabric of marriage is broken there is no hope for economic growth or happiness. The political crises faced by our nations are based on the brokenness of the homes that are producing the leaders. Change begins when we build marriages that are “Married And Loving It”
The dialogue in this feature film is deep and real and confronts the issue that we go through daily. We want to bring couples to a place where we can openly talk about the issues that we are going through daily in our marriages. Sexless marriages, pornography and perversion, lust and temptation and victory over the above mentioned.
