Why Did I Get Married is a movie about four couples, who are also best friends and each year they go on a retreat/vacation to work out their issues and ask the question “Why did I get married?”. This time they go to a nice house in the mountains of Colorado for a week-long and even though they all agreed to come to this trip, some of them are not all the way there emotionally and all four relationships are strained. The way the trip is set up doesn’t go as planned and many events happen to unfold spontaneously and catch a lot of people off guard. The first couple Angela and Marcus take public transportation and Angela is always arguing with …show more content…
76) is what you feel about yourself consisting of positive and negative self-evaluations. Although self-esteem is something you evaluate yourself, it doesn’t mean that external influences don’t make you feel less or more about yourself. Sheila, Marcus and Patricia deal with a little more self-esteem issues than most of the others. Sheila is constantly being bullied and talked down to by her husband Mike. He always calls her names referring to her weight. He never makes her feel good about herself or the way she looks. In turn, she would make jokes about herself before he got the chance to. In the movie, she had bought a night gown she was told by Trina, who was sleeping with her husband at the time, that she would look good in it and that Mike would love it. She fed into this once Trina found her size and she put it on and when she got into the bedroom, Mike laughed at her and made fun of her. He said she looked like the cow who jumped over the moon and he also said that Trina lied to her thinking he would like it. He also said, that if she would lose about fifty pound he would ‘probably’ be attractive to her but even then, maybe not. Sheila tried really hard to love her husband and she wanted him to look at her like she was the only girl in the world but he didn’t want that. Marcus was always being belittled by Angela. She constantly cackled at him for not having a job and for working under her at her business. She wouldn’t give him credit for trying to look for a job and providing for his family. He got this courage later in the movie once he put her in her place and told her that if it wasn’t for his money she wouldn’t have a business. Patricia is constantly struggling with the death of her son Noah and her feeling like she is at fault. It doesn’t help that Gavin feels this way also and this comes out. She feels as if she could’ve just secured the baby in the car like she should’ve he would still be here today. All of these
