I'd say that was a sign. I suppose we could say that you handled it with humor. Or maybe you really flubbed it. I'd have to know more about your relationship with your wife to know. She did not choose that movie by accident, and she knew exactly what it was about.
I understand your hesitancy to jump to conclusions and do handsprings. But on the other hand, you don't want to let a good opportunity to go by either. She took a step toward you. I would say there is an implied question there, "are you interested in reconciling?" If the answer is yes, then you might want to take an equal step toward her. Have you looked at the website for Retrouvaille, www.helpourmarriage.org? Go to the page on the 4 Stages of Marriage. You could print it out and show it to her. It says that the misery stage of marriage, what you two are going through now, is normal. And there is hope to get to an even better stage than the one you started with. But it takes work. It is a message of hope, just as the movie Fireproof is.
Look for the next Retrouvaille weekend in your area on the website. Ask your wife to go with you to the weekend. If you go, you will never regret it. They will teach you how to reconcile. They save thousands of marriages all over the world each year. Yours could be one of them.
