For Better or For Worse

This entertaining documentary is an honest look at five culturally diverse couples married for fifty years or longer. For Better or For Worse attempts to answer questions that focus on issues of long-term commitments. In candid interviews, each couple discusses their private lives, covering the good and bad times during their relationships. In addition to how they met, each couple openly discusses sensitive topics such as their devotion to each other, sex, Alzheimer's disease, life and death. Drawing on rich storehouses of wisdom, they share stories of their journeys that range from living room jam sessions, to an off-Broadway gay theatre in New York, and the backwoods of northern California. Reflecting on the diversity and fullness of the American experience, their comments offer insight into what is one of the most rewarding undertakings in life, for better or for worse.
