After a long day at work the men want to just be able to kick off their shoes, watch sports and be lethargic, instead of feeling attacked or, as mentioned by few of the men in the video, "nagged."

Various men explain that the wives talk too much, that they just want their wives to get to the point.

But the idea that is co-parenting is one that many couples hope to achieve once they’re married, mostly get shattered as they soon realize that it’s much more difficult to obtain then they had imagined. Both “The Myth of Co-Parenting: How It Was Supposed to be. How It Was,” by Hope Edelman, and “My Problem With Her Anger,” by Eric Bartels address the stereotypical problems of roles within a marriage, but Hope Edelman focuses more on what a woman’s perspective regarding how the roles should be taken and implementing it, while Eric Bartels is more about emphasizing the actual struggle of fulfilling the role and its…

    I believe that out of the three dimensions of sexuality the video “What you don’t know about marriage” addresses the psychological dimension. The video describes aspects, feelings, and experiences that we may feel that contribute to the success and failure of marriages. In the video Jenna McCarthy describes how certain behaviors and actions, such as men doing household chores, contribute to the wives becoming more attracted to their husbands, creating a chain reaction. Where the husband attracts the wife, the wife is more open to providing more sex, more sex satisfies the husband and is genuinely nicer and appreciative-like towards the wife, the wife is happy towards the attitude, and the relationship all together sustains to be a happier…

The husband is going out being unloyal and the wife knows that but because of society, the wife is supposed to forgive the husband for his indecent acts even if it hurts her. I think the artists want to show that this is a recurring problem in today’s society and he has done it quite well with the lyrics and the video showing pathos, ethos, and…

    Same sex marriage is not very different from any other relationship, the only difference being that both partners are of the same sex, hence the name. Since this type of relationship is not limited to a certain cultural group many things can differ, but for the most part they are just like any other American relationship. While same sex marriage has just recently been legalized in all 50 states, it is still frowned upon by many religious members, older generations, and those who strictly believe that marriage is intended for a man and woman. Dating customs and marriage would be the same as any other couple in American culture and getting married would require the same legal documentation as that of a heterosexual couple. The only big difference in same sex marriage is parenting, due to the fact that biologically partners of the same sex cannot conceive a child.…

    For this story “Videotape” it feels as if Don DeLillo had heard of the term “Mondo film” (or as it is also known Shockumantry) and was inspired by it to write a story of someone who would be a viewer of these kind of films.
