How Will We Love?
Well worth the time if you have an hour or so of free time on your hands. Here's the trailer - the link to the entire video is here.
Do you think the perception of love and marriage has changed for the better or worse?
(p.s. this is perfect for you insomniacs - now you have something to occupy your time for the next hour!)

:/ Everybody wants to find love, to find that special somebody to spend the rest of his/her life with. But life doesn't always work out that way.
When I see elderly couples walking down the street or something, holding hands, I always turn to my boyfriend and say "aww, I want to be like that when I get old" :) it's refreshing to see elderly couples so in love and so passionate about their SO. It makes me strive to want a good future and a happy relationship. ^^
In my opinion for the worse. I've known a decent amount of people from other countries that I've had the pleasure of talking to that have been in arranged marriages. And they are really happy. And I look at my family, aside from my grandparents everyone has been divoriced at least once.
Perhaps the liberal ideals that have come into our culture have changed our perception on marriage and the roles that are supposed to be played? Maybe the definition of marriage is changing with the fast paced culture of our country? Perhaps even it boils down to the media's influence on "love"? How is it that people 80 years old can seem to have such a perfect relationship? I think it's because we are becoming arrogant and unwilling to accept other people's flaws. We have become obsessed with material values and changing who we are instead of just being ourselves, hiding behind a mask. So we try and change them or ourselves, or become angry because of small human mistakes, or even go so far as to cheat instead of just accepting who you/they are. Why take the high road when you can keep yourself closed off and just shift the blame?
And yes, this is a great topic for insomniacs...=( I wanna go to sleep
Sadly, it's changed for the worse.
I can only hope for the best
Changed for the worse.
Love never changes, people change....
I think it has changed for the worst.
i say this firstly out of a Christian point of view.
secondly i am one constantly at war with culture (i just like standing out) and because of mainstream media the idea, practise and experience of love has been limited to and boxed in to an emotional feeling (the butterflies in your tummy). Love is a choice and commitment to a commitment firstly. a choice is not subject to change like an emotion and a commitment to a commitment is more stable since a commitment to a person is subject to change (because the person changes).
I won't say i'm an insomniac... but my GF/SO tends to keep me up all night.
Good Movie ~
Great documentary!
as long as your love don't change..
@XactiLucius@xanga - i agree with you.
Worse.
I'd like to think perception of love and marriage is getting better but then again if you look at the numbers of ppl getting divorce totally contradicts it. But then again there is always hope and faith... I wish one day I will find love and be lucky enough to love just as my parents and my grandparents are now...
I believe our typical view of love has changed for the worse. I'm hoping to start changing it for the better, though, starting with myself. :)
It has gone from more than just feelings of mushy gushy "love stuff," but a feeling of love, hope, inspiration, and commitment, and some other things too in some cases, to just a mushy gushy feeling that grows and fades with time. It's a sorry excuse in today's society, I would dare say, on the average. So, let the change start with me! Be the change you want to see. You know? Live as an inspiration to others. :)
