"Date night" start with; Phil and Claire Foster (Steve Carell & Tina Fey) are a couple who have been married for several years but when another couple they know announce that they're separating because they're in a rut, Phil feels that he and Claire could be too. So when date night comes Phil decides to do something different. So they go into the city and try to get into a new popular restaurant. But when it's full Phil decides to take the reservation of a couple who doesn't show up and that's the start of such an unforgettable adventurous night.
In every relationship, I'm pretty much sure, there's always up and down moment. Even the moment when you feel that you want to be alone, away from your partner and kids (like when Claire admits to Phil). Wake up somewhere new, peaceful and quiet or somewhere more exciting but that doesn't always mean your love is gone. Maybe being apart can refresh your relationship. Maybe being apart can help your realize something. To me, being apart from my love just make me miss him and love him more.
Talk about relationship...it seems so hard to maintain a healthy relationship in my generation. Why? Because there's so many temptation? There are so many choices that when we feel fade up then we can leave and feel like we don't have to bear each other any more? I have to admit that I've, myself, been quite a jealous girl. It used to be bad enough that I couldn't even like myself so how could I expect my partner to love me. That's not the reason why my previous relationship wasn't last but it turned me into something which not so lovely nor lovable. Compare the male population 22,977,945 to female 23,512,538 in
But have a good look at our parent generation. I admire and love seeing an old couple walking together. When they look and take care of each other. I used to ask a couple how can they live together this long. They said just a lot of patient, compromise and compassionate; and of course love and care. You might wonder how can they do that as it seems so long for you compare to 7 years itch which so popular to happen either they take it or break it, that easy. Now a day, you will see lots of people break-up and divorce so often like marriage isn’t so sacred anymore, or love doesn't exist. They fall in love so quick then marry and then before you know, they separate and divorce.
I used to ask a friend why he got married and still acting like a single guy. He said because he wanted to have kids. Please don’t marry just because it’s the right thing or because you should or, like my friend said, because you want to have kid. It’s all not the answer. You should marry someone just because you love them and want to spend the rest of your life with them; through the sickness and healthiness, through happiness and sadness, through poorness and wealthiness. And no matter how rough it is, you both will find the way to solve it together. You don't abandon each other when they need you most. When you both grow older the same as your love grow stronger. That's how I believe in love and marriage.
Back to the movie, I had to give a big credit to Steve & Tina, they such a perfect match. And surprise with some names such as Mark Wahlberg, Leighton Meester, Mark Ruffalo, James Franco, even Ray Liotta, etc. that come to join the movie, they've done well with their part.
My story is just begun and it grows pretty damn good. It's not a love at first sigh but surely I love him more everyday I'm with him. I learn the lesson from my past and I will not screw it up again. So, what about your story?
