In the movie "He's Just Not That Into You", my favorite couple to follow were Beth and Neil. In the beginning of the movie, we are introduced to the fun loving couple as one of the relationships in the movie that seems to be going great. They are both madly in love and have been together for seven years. However we eventually learn that Beth is upset because she wants to get married and Neil does not. This was an example that I had never really thought about much. It was always an issue of getting married too early, or for the wrong reasons. However, the relationship between Beth and Neil was so perfect, it led me to the question; Why would he never want to get married?
So it got me thinking. There was no obvious reason for Neil not wanting to marry. It obviously was not a commitment issue-they had been together for seven years. As a girl, I could tell where Beth was coming from. She wanted a huge ceremony and a beautiful dress to match what she had drempt about for all of her life. This would seal the deal for her and Neil's relationship-and be a new beginning. The only thing I could find wrong in Neils request to not marry, would be that it is harder to raise a family in a relationship where there is no husband and wife title. In the end of the movie, Beth realizes that Neil is exactly what she wants-no matter if they are married or not, exactly when Neil realizes that he wants to marry Beth. All in all, I have realized that there is no harm in marriage when a couple has been together for many years, but also no true rush to tie the knot.
