This is when the viewer realizes the filmmaker is trying to make a point and bring the audience to understand that each couple might have problems and no one group is singled out. The sexual revolution of the 1960s is ever-so-present when the diligent husband works as a book editor to support his family, and the studious wife tries to continue nursing school while raising a daughter, cooking, managing expenses and keeping house.
