8 THINGS I LEARNT FROM THE MOVIE-“COUPLE OF DAYS”.

I went to see a movie and the premiere of Couple of Days was displayed on the screen. That was when I decided I was going to see it. It was hilarious and fun seeing Falz the Bahdguy act, speak and sing.

The movie focuses on the lives of 3 couples who went for a vacation and their cats were mysteriously flying out of their bags.

The couples are: 

Lanre and Joke; Cynthia and Jude; Dan and Nina.

As usual na, we must learn something and share with others so it may help them.

Forgiveness is one of the main themes in this movie. At the end of the movie, there was a sentence on the screen which was “People don’t fall out of love but forgiveness” and I totally agree with it. If you can forgive someone you love, then you can continue on the journey of love. 

If you see or hear a couple say we’re still in love waxing strong, check it out. Someone must have deeply offended the other party and that other party decided to move on with the person. The absence of forgiveness in marriage will lead to the death of the marriage. This was what each of the 3 couples had to go through and learn.

It’s very important to Deal with Issues from the Past thoroughly and deliberately. Cynthia didn’t resolve the infidelity issues totally and it led to her ‘untimely death’ (if that was what it was). 

Read: Dealing with life from the movie Heavenly sword.

It’s also important to Deal with Issues Separately. Cynthia mixed up the bipolar disorder and infidelity. Lanre hid the abortion that was affecting him under the umbrella of his wife’s wasteful spending.

 Everyone needs a Support System. They had each other to run to for help when the other person or couple was down and they trusted themselves. They had a source of encouragement in themselves. This is what Jude and Joke should have acted upon: tell Dan he kissed Joke, it was a mistake and nothing more and she should have told Nina that she kissed Jude. Trust me, this is a protection for your relationship.

Facing your Own Mountains and Defeating It might just be the light for someone else’s darkness. It was the way Nina handled the knowledge of Dan’s son that made everyone think and act in forgiveness. 

Another thing that helped Nina forgive was her Ability to Discern Motives. If you feel offended, you should try to ask why the offender did what he or she did. This is what helped her. This was what prevented Joke from telling Lanre about her abortions.

It’s always important to Deal with Your Fears. If Cynthia did she might not have killed herself.

Lastly the movie informed us of Bipolar Disorder. It is a brain disorder that causes sudden change in mood, energy, activity and in the ability of carrying out your daily tasks. It affects everything from carrier to relationships and when it isn’t treated, it can lead to suicide.
