Is it possible to fall in love all over again?


So do you guys agree with the movie? Even though you may be happily married with kids or happily married etc...you can still one day meet someone that you fall in love with and not intentionally either? Or does it have to do with being bored and meeting someone new who gives you that rush of feelings and giddiness that you first felt when you fell in love with the person your married too?

I think people who have the experience of the encounter in this movie have got to be bored for the most part with their marriages. If they are not bored then they have probably come to realize that they married the wrong person or married for the wrong reason. I think the movie is largely about conscience and what to do when something like this happens (ie. the encounter in the friend's apartment). Although I don't like to see people get hurt, I think this scenario can happen (quite legitimately - not for only sexual reasons).

Question. If it is a very possibility that you will fall for someone after you have been married for a while, why in the world would you even get married? Why don't you just live together for a while and call it quits when u meet someone else.

To be honest, I think in today's generation everyone call it quits so easy. I agree temptation for the other one will always be there but it is up to you to either get over the temptation or give into it. And most people give into it. Nobody bothers to work on their marriage anymore and that is the sad truth.

This movie definitely makes us ponder about what you guys have reasonably pointed out.

Why not stay single, stay honest and have fun!

Why jumping into marriage, then get tired, then cheat, then lie, then make excuse, and make everybody's life miserable and complicated?

Why saying those words in the first place, "for better or worse, richer and poorer, until death do us apart", when everybody already knows marriage is obviously NOT going last for ever.

Then why going through this hypocrisy?

Can you guaranty that some day you will not meet somebody else who you will find more compatible have more chemistry together?
