Parents and relationships ( part 1)

I went to the movies recently and saw the new movie Jumping the Broom, and from my perspective its one of the better movies I have seen in the last few years. It deals a lot with relationships; family relationships, parent relationships, marriage, engagement, single, friend, relationships to money, relationships to place, relationship to age, etc.  Its a lot to be learned if you pay attention. But their is one particular relationship that stood out significantly to me. The child parent relationship. 

Its amazing how significant a mans relationship with his mother, and a woman's relationship with her father, plays a role in how they will date and deal with others of the opposite sex for years to come. Our parents are often our first great examples and expectations from what we want in a mate or our first great disappointments. 

Our parents and how they deal with their marriage, dating, raising of a family, give s our opinions, our values, and our strength to be able to deal with things as an adult. Our parents relationships gives us  hope or scar us for life. They help set our expectations as either high or passe. The home is the first great institution we know of, and the most important. Because everything, good bad, or indifferent comes out of somebodies home.

Theres not a whole lot Im going to get into right now, i want to give people a chance to see the movie, but if you see it, and I highly recommend you do, pay attention to various relationships in the movie, it will be therapy. I promise at least thats my perspective, whats your?
