The Truth About Marriage

Marriage is something surreal, people tend to make marriages last based on a partnership more than sex or more than a spark. It is cheaper to not get married and just have manybpartners around, one does not get obssesed and can be free and enjoybfreedom. But the chemestry of regular people is different woman do not understand or play too hard, they think they are the boss but actually they are ones looking for it.

Afection is different than anything else. And that is the magic key. I hope i get the love of my life but she has to be independent and be my partner, sex is important they say. There is the example of the russian H that gets married with a rich brother and then dumps him. U dont wanna be him.

I really like Roger Nygard's work and hope he continues making movies. This movie was both good and not great. Roger's insightful questions and enthusiasm about the topic of Marriage and advice and perspective from his friends about their marriages and relationships were top notch.

The generally self proclaimed "Experts" on relationships, on the other hand, were a mixed bag, leaving the viewers wondering how anyone in their right mind would listen to or pay for their advice.

Would have been a better movie if Roger had focused more on his friends and his personal marital experiences.

I had the pleasure of seeing The Truth About Marriage at the LA Film Festival back in 2019. I didn't know what to expect going into it but it turned out to be by far my favorite documentary to screen that year and one of the overall funniest movies I've seen in years. The film is educational, witty, punny and laugh-out-loud enjoyable at times. At only 80 minutes it moves at a great pace and there's never a dull moment. The filmmaker arrives at some obvious and also some not-so-obvious and surprising conclusions, which help dive the entertainment factor. Did I also mention it's hilarious? Overall this is a 10/10 and I highly recommend it.

Roger seemed to have literally nailed every point of view that exists to cover the topic of marriage. His cast is diverse, funny, smart and intriguing! Highly recommended for anyone who loves, has experienced love and ponders the idea of marriage! You will learn a lot and appreciate what makes the world turn round!

As a young millennial man, the question of marriage, kids and the whole traditional life is something that I think about a lot. Is it feasible money wise? Timewise? Is it sensible?

In Nygard's film, we are given access to a wide breadth of people - relationship experts, evolutionary scientists, sex therapists, and of course real people in relationships who tackle the big questions surrounding Marriage. The film exposes both the highs and the lows, while also illustrating more modern, atypical relationships too, all while keeping a great sense of humour about it. Fun, insightful, and truly illuminating, this is the kind of movie you may want to rewatch and will definitely want your friends...or maybe even Significant Other to see :)
