"Partner Resort": A medical trip for troubled couples

Does marriage look like a tomb? No one knows, even if you are in it, you may not be able to understand all of this term. But if there is no tolerance for each other, then marriage is a nightmare.

The four couples in the film have been married for a long time, but the situation of each family is different. Some feel happy, some feel empty, and even break up... But on the whole, the two will still try to keep the marriage as much as possible, and if there is a crisis, they will try to save as much as possible. After all, they can come together and undergo the test. , Is proportional to the cost of breaking up. Just like the slide show made by the data-controlled couple in the film, if the two separate and completely get out of this shadow and join a new family, it will take at least two and a half years, what a long time.

In fact, traveling is a double-edged sword, it can enhance mutual feelings, and it can also make the rift between the two sides more obvious. Because there is no interference when visiting outside, and the mind is completely on the other person, it is easy to find more habits and problems. It is often said that before marriage, one must go out for a trip and undergo a major test before deciding whether to promote the marriage. People, more or less, have their own habits or small shortcomings. If two people want to live together in the future, they must tolerate and tolerate each other, and even make some sacrifices. If two people clearly see the problem, but no one wants to change it, they will definitely not get together.

But, the science of marriage is too big. A nearly two-hour movie, if you want to make it clear and solve the problems of four couples, it will definitely not be done. So this tail still feels like making up the numbers. It seems to be artificially creating a happy reunion. In fact, anyone who understands it knows that the problems of the two pairs are already quite big. The brief hug and understanding did not solve any problems.
