In 2001, director Michael Apted filmed the first installment of MARRIED IN AMERICA, where nine soon-to-be-married couples discuss their decision to get married. Apted, who had already used a similar concept in his world-famous series 7Up, looked for a cross-section of American society to reflect the changing population. Five years later in this 'preview edition', Apted revisits them to find out how their their relationships have progressed in the first few years of married life.
I use this film in a course on marriage and family. The marriages illustrate many of the topics we read about and discuss, the couples are varied, and students like it. The film makes a good basis for a take-home or in-class essay question because students have a range of couples and themes from which to choose, and they can miss part of the film but still have material to discuss.
