cOuple retReat

this is a movie that i watched on the plane to japan...

 is a 2009 American comedy film about the struggles of marriage. 

It strikes a cord and makes me want to blog about this movie. 

4 couples went on a retreat to "Eden". While 1 was there to save their marriage, the other 3 went for fun and leisure. Many things happened during the retreat. All the couples including the other 3 couples all saw problems in their relationship during their counseling session with the therapist.

Some of the very meaningful phrases:

1) "Suffocating = Steering in the direction u want."
Are you guilty of this?

2) "Relationship is a 2 way street not a highway"
Did you realise?

3) "We were single and we HAD fun."
A statement made by when one of the guys were seeing the singles party at Eden East. He wanted to have fun with other ladies. And this sentence was made by another married guy REMINDING him that he already had his share of fun.

4) "I want to be married and have people that i can share my life with."
Objective of getting married?

5) "Come together, Stay together"
Resisting the temptations on Eden East.

6) "Shut mind off! Shut partner off?"
Is this how you are feeling when you are tired? And so you shut your mind off? But could u really shut ur partner off?

7) "Make through things together?" or "Celebrate and enjoy life and things as it happens?"
Ponder hard...Which way are you leading your daily life?

8) "Missing out on life! But its happening every now and then!"

9) "Sometimes we forget how to do the easiest thing in the world. Just say ~Hello and ~Hi."
When you thought you have nothing more to say or at times when you dont know what to say!

10) "Before the kids, the house, the job, it was just YOU!"
Reminding the spouse what it was that they began this marriage with.

And finally my top favorite line:

11) "Do you have a cell phone? I want to make a call to God and say that my angel is missing"
