This true-life movie is a must see for every couple.” Gary Chapman, PhD. The 5 Love Languages “Everyone who loves a service member should see this film.”. Indivisible, based on a true story of an Army chaplain, is a powerful story of commitment and loyalty to God, family, and country in the midst of pain and challenges. Sarah Drew and Justin Bruening are very believable and compelling as a young Christian family seeking to make a difference in a world of pain even as that pain threatens to tear.

“Indivisible” might be the only war movie with a montage of characters healthfully discussing their problems and building a backyard jungle gym for their kids. And let’s be honest, we.
Fresh from seminary and basic training, Chaplain Turner and his family arrive at Fort Stewart. Yet before the Turners can even unpack their new house, Darren is deployed to Iraq. Heather is left taking care of their three young children alone … as well as serving the families of the other deployed soldiers. Despite a desire to stay connected with their loved ones, the harsh realities of war take a daily toll over the course of the Battalion’s extended deployment. Meanwhile back home, babies are born, kids keep growing, and nerves are frayed with every late-night knock on the door. With deeply etched battle scars, the soldiers’ long-awaited homecoming is much different than any of their families anticipated. Carrying burdens the other can’t comprehend, the Turners must decide if they’re willing to face one more battle: the fight to save their marriage. From the director of The Grace Card and the studio that brought you Fireproof and War Room comes INDIVISIBLE, the story of one marriage … one family … under God. In theaters beginning October 26, the movie stars Sarah Drew, Justin Bruening, Jason George, Tia Mowry, and Madeline Carroll.
A Movie Military Couples Are Embracing
“No movie has ever captured the deployment experience, both for the service member and spouse at home, as beautifully as INDIVISIBLE. It validates those who have fought off the mistress of war in their marriage and offers hope in the Turners’ determination to fight for each other.” Corie Weathers, Licensed Professional Counselor, Author of Sacred Spaces: My Journey to the Heart of Military Marriage INDIVISIBLE is the story of one marriage … one family … under God. See INDIVISIBLE in theaters beginning October 26.

Parent Movie Review
Rapidweaver 8 1 2 – create template based websites rapidly. Indivisible: a title that really only makes sense if you know the tagline, “One marriage. One family. Under God”. While it may have been intended to be an uplifting film about an Army Chaplain, it dramatically misses the mark and turns what is an inspiring true story into a treacly two hours. It features a few too many montages, an over-abundance of American flags, and so much preaching I felt like I had gone to church for two hours. By the way, I’ve gone to church for three hours every Sunday for my whole life. I like church. A lot. I did not like this movie.
The “based on a true family” story begins with Darren Turner (Justin Bruening) and his wife Heather (Sarah Drew) as they prepare for his first deployment to Iraq in 2007. Turner is an Army Chaplain and right out of the gate he’s just a down to earth kind of fella who’s here to help strengthen everyone’s families. While others continue to warn Darren and Heather about the difficulties of deployment on a marriage, they are confident in their devotion to each other and to God.
As expected, deployment takes a serious toll on their marriage, and each of them individually. Communication shuts down, resentment builds up, and by the time Darren comes home their marriage sort of hobbles along. That is until some therapy, some tough love from a friend, and some montage music comes to the rescue.
This was an incredibly mild PG-13, and older children would be able to handle the action and war violence, though I’m not sure how interested they’d be in a movie that is mostly about resolving marital issues. Death is portrayed throughout the film. Scenes where families cope with death are emotionally intense, but also overacted and poorly written. The whole point of the movie is finding and keeping faith, working through doubts, and building strong families. So while the themes are uplifting, they are also unfortunately heavy-handed. The script has a habit of explaining everything we’ve already seen, which is a bit insulting to viewers. The assumptions the film makes about the audience are at times very broad. Being a devout Christian, I understood the language and implications of conversion, but I had no idea what the Armor of God coins that Turner kept pushing onto everyone were about. I felt simultaneously included and excluded in some key plot elements that had no explanation. So while the content is pretty family friendly, I found myself repeatedly checking my watch and rolling my eyes at the overly saccharine portrayal of Darren Turner

Indivisible Parents' Guide
The idea of being called to something bigger than yourself plays a big role in the movie. Have you ever felt called to something, either by your passion, or by your religious conviction?It’s ironic in the film that the guy who’s helping everyone else’s family and marriage is neglecting his own. The idea of oxygen masks on an airplane comes to mind - is this simply a case of needing securing your own mask before helping others get theirs on?
