If by now you've not watched the movie 'Acrimony', you're probably not a movie person or an extremely busy person.
Tyler Perry did a great job by sharing so many valuable lessons on relationship in it. And if you watched it intelligently you'll pick a couple of them.
As always, I like to base my judgement on the relationship even before marriage because most times marriage is an amplified version of a relationship. The quality of a relationship will to a large extent determine the quality of marriage.
So here's mine:
1. You don't start a relationship alone
You will eventually take the final decision of whether or not to go ahead with a relationship but don't rush. Listen to people, especially those closest to you because they would see what you can't see when you are blinded by emotions. Emotions are funny so we can't afford to always trust it. There is a difference between fighting for a man you love and fighting for one you have feelings for. Melinda's sisters were strongly against her relationship with Robert but she never listened.
A good reason to have wise people in your circle.
2. Never ignore red flags
Robert cheated on Melinda with another lady. He kept sucking the babe's money stylishly (sweet ATM). He took advantage of her vulnerability. He was a liar. There were many signs on the wall but Melinda ignored them.
3. Uncontrolled anger will cost you
When you notice that you have any character flaw, immediately work on it before it costs you something. In Melinda's case, it cost her her uterus and the dream life she patiently waited for 18years to have.
4. You get to pay for your sins one way or the other
Robert took advantage of Melinda's vulnerability for many years, spent all her money, cheated, refused to work till her patience ran out (because she's human). In the end, he had wealth without peace.
5. Sex can cover your eyes
Every level of intimacy you choose to practice in your relationship comes with a price. The moment sex comes into the picture, be rest assured that your judgement and approach to things will be corrupted by emotions. Melinda's behavior after having sex with Robert was very predictable. She could no longer SEE.
