In Indian arranged marriages you wed first and grow to love your spouse second.
Liz Tuccillo, writer for Sex and the City and co-author of He's Just Not That Into You, asks why is the divorce rate so low in India? She finds out that Indians are taught that happiness is a state of mind. And if you've had an arranged marriage you wed first, and learn to love your husband over time, as you get to know him.
Did the book "He's Just Not That Into You" get lost in translation on the big screen?
We went to go see that romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You because a.) we have tons real life experience on the topic and b.) we were huge, huge fans of the book by former Sex and the City writers Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. As much as it pains us to admit it, Greg's straight talk taught us a lot. Which is why we were hoping for an equally dark, punch-in-the-stomach movie to shatter all the unrealistic Hollywood happy ending cliches that screw with our heads. Instead we were disappointed by the ending, and wondered if men were more complicated than given credit for and if the women just needed some hobbies.
