Just Answer the Question

I just got home from the Magic Johnson Theatre that premiered “I Think I Love My Wife” staring comedian Chris Rock. The story takes place in New York and highlights how married couples, over time, can get comfortable with one another and forget about what’s really important in a marriage – Sex. Chris Rock complained to the marriage counselor that they were not having sex and his wife explained that she was too tired because she had to work, clean, cook, and take care of their two little children. As a result, of his wife’s hard work, at the end of the day she did not have enough energy to get intimate with her husband. However, Chris Rock was spending his time with an attractive, seductive, trifling, “old friend” who tried to jeopardize his marriage. Rock should have spent time at his house helping his wife do some of the chores around the house, so that she was not too tired to sleep with him at the end of the day. At the end of the movie, the star of the show Chris Rock and the owner of the Theatre, Magic Johnson were present to answer questions from the guest. I asked Rock if he felt that the movie provided people who are married an example of how negative communication can have an impact on a marriage and the importance for continual communication through the marriage. He said he was not Dr. Phil and it was just a movie. Ok, that’s fine, but he never answered the question. I would not go see the movie again, however, if you’re looking for a good laugh the movie comes out March 16. Just answer the question.
