Some of this documentary is filmed in the City, so it qualifies as news here. But why I suggest watching this HBO doc is the follow-up the videographer does with eight of the couples that he recorded on their wedding day. The experience of listening to these couples, all married less than 15 years, discuss their original concept and the actual workings of marriage is excellent. Partial spoiler: the couple that ‘partenered’ needs to explain more fully how they do it – there appears to be a deep wisdom there. Just watch their faces.
Would love to know what you experience watching it. Of course at least one fits with my bias, we speak to the divorce rate as sadness for failed marriage. Perhaps we are looking at the symptom not the disease.
