I just watched the movie Couple’s Retreat, and I can say that it is really nice. It’s supposed to be romantic comedy, but I found it ENLIGHTENING.
Four couples went to this island called Eden, where the “couple’s retreat” is taking place. The island is majestic. Lush greeneries, clear blue ocean, and five star treatment all the way. The three couples were just there to accompany their couple friends, who were considering divorce, but wanted to make sure it was what they wanted, thus attending this retreat. Four different couples, four different relationship types, and I’m sure for those who are in a relationship, you can find one that you can relate to. I did.
To make a long story short, this retreat not only made the couple who wanted the divorce to finally find the answer that they were looking for, but the others learned valuable lessons as well. There is no perfect relationship, but it is a two-way street. And at the end of the day, no one can make it work for you. Not your therapist or whoever. It will be both of you, if you both WANT to make it work and if you’re both WILLING to do the things that should be done in order to make it work. It’s not a smooth ride..but hey..who wants to grow old alone anyway?
