Not really a review just my thought about the movie 🙈.
On the Movie Acrimony..
First things First
Marriage is for better for worse not for better for the best. If you decide to marry someone despite knowing his or her shortcomings.
You have made an informed decision that you stand by for the Rest of your life regardless of what happens. You make your marriage work..you don't run away when the going gets tough.
Secondly.. If it becomes unbearable and you can't cope anymore after trying everything humanly possible to make it work. Then you are advised to separate. Separate.. Not Divorce..live apart form each other for awhile get your life together.. Rethink.. Replan.. But not Divorce.. The Vows say *till Death do us part* not *till we decide we can cope anymore*
There is no marriage without differences and issues but genuine Love conquers all and bridges all gap.
This leads to my Third point 👉🏽
Know your Partner *Completely* before committing to anything. Know them in and out.. Understand their strengths and weaknesses, place it side by side with yours. Ask yourself if you can endure an eternity with this individual. If there are flashpoints that are manifested in your partner.. Habits and Behaviors you can not live with.. Uncle.. Aunty... Move.. Run.. Leave.. You are not a Tree. It is better to marry late than to marry wrong.. Marriage is a lifelong covenant. Don't be pressured into making the wrong decision
Fourth Point
let's get back to the Movie. Work on yourself before inviting someone into your life. Man or Woman. *Anger* will destroy you if you don't curb it.. To be angry is easy. We all have to watch it. Learn to calm down. You should be in control of your emotions and not let your emotions control you. Then you see this Virtue *Patience* let's all pray for it. May we not miss our blessings at the last moment.
Fifth Point. In marriage or courtship or relationship or life decisions generally pray for the spirit of *Discernment*
The grace to see and recognize what is yours and what isn't and the strength to truly let go.. and not look over your shoulder. Pray to be satisfied and not feel entitled. I know some will say it's easier said than done but then in the long run you find that it better for the sake of peace of mind and long life to be free from all entanglements when we decide to move on. Just flow... Don't look back. Don't leave room for *regret* and *thoughts of what could have been* Just Flow
With These Few points of mine I hope I have answered all those who wanted to know my take on the movie Acrimony.
Final Take.. Whose fault was it really?
1. The Scriptwriter and producer who have flawed ideas of what marriage should be
2. The man and the woman who weren't ready for marriage but jumped into it.
3. The Lady for letting her anger get the better of her.
Okay... On the Subject of Divorce and Sepeartion .. Let me borrow a leaf from what FriarJay said.
Or rather let me ask a question. If Divorcing is the answer. You marry someone.. Have issues and Divorce.. You marry another have issues and Divorce and keep Divorcing because you want to be happy when does it end?
The Question should be.. Why get married in the first place? What's the purpose of marriage.? If you can not work out your differences in a marriage should you even marry?
When you Love someone for real. And They love you in return you rise above differences. Often times You break up a relationship, but give or take few months or years, you wish you had stayed and made it work. You try to envision your future and you see your ex. This feeling comes because you loved your partner. And for such people you find out that even if you don't end up together. You remain good friends for life. Because in truth.. Love never dies.. If it was Love o. It won't die.. The fire of Love never burn out. Hence Divorcing is never an Option. Because you Loved your Partner enough to exchange vows. Then the storms of life comes raging.. You now wanna jump Ship????? 👉🏽
Never.. You can separate because there can't be two captains in one ship. Get your life together.. Rediscover that thing that made you tick for each other. Then try again.. And again.. I would only understand divorce on the grounds that there is an imminent threat to life. Then Fly. Don't even run. But to say you look outside and it's brighter than your chamber you now wanna run.. No don't do that. Even Roses have Thorns. The grass isn't greener on the other side. Water your Porch. Fix your marriage. Divorce isn't the Answer.
