BTW, Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married" is a really good movie. Its about 4 couples who were all friends in college that periodically get together for a couples retreat. 1 of the wives (Janet Jackson - who does a FABULOUS job in her roll and possible changed my opinion of the Jackson family, or at least her part of it) is a psychologist who teaches at a university and wrote a book about their group. She explains the dynamic in each marriage and the issues as she's talking to a class at the beginning of the movie. Each has their own problems.
Basically, the weekend explodes. Each marriage is in jeopardy (including the psychologist's, but not for very long) and they have to fix it. The thing I love about Tyler Perry is that he makes the point that NOTHING can happen until you are right with the Lord. And he did it beautifully in this movie.
The thing I like about the Tyler Perry movies is that they are messy. There are no perfect Christians. There isn't even always a Pastor or a church. There are friends reminding each other to follow Christ. And in my mind... for entertainment, at least... its a start. Because life is messy. There are never perfect Christians in any situation. And Christian friends who try to remind each other to follow Christ when life gets rough is what we are all supposed to be to each other.
Best quote from the movie btw... and I'm not going to get it perfect b/c I only watched it once... is from 1 wife to the girl who has been sleeping with her husband.
I wondered what I would say when I saw you. I wondered if I would cry or if I would stomp you to the ground and whoop that ass. All I can say, though, is that I pray for you. I let go of my anger a long time ago and the Lord dealt with me. So I pray for you. But don't tempt me tonight. I might not be able to keep praying, so don't sit near the wine bottles.You'll have to see the movie to find out what the wine bottles are about. Its worth it. LOL
