License to Wed

I was supposed to watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but I ended up watching License to Wed. It's a romantic comedy starring Robin Williams, Mandy Moore and John Krasinski.

The plot was really simple: A couple decided to get married and the Reverend asked them to finish a course before they walk down the aisle. The marriage course entails not having sex until they are married, attending group counseling sessions with other married couples, one on one sessions and the like.

I had fun watching this movie not only because its funny but because it shows the realities of marriage and what it should be about. Are you in it for the right reasons? How well do you know and trust your partner (Can you drive blindfolded and he will be the one whose going to give you instructions? -scary really) How well do you communicate to him? Are you able to speak up your mind with no holds barred?

I'm not getting married anytime soon but it's one of those movies that are entertaining and would make you say, I'll keep these things in mind.
