The film records the emotional growth of the male protagonist Caleb. One study reported that men of the same age were 5 years younger than women. The most common problem is that the two sides are getting more and more difficult to communicate. Girls are always sad that boys don’t understand, and boys are always wondering if they don’t understand girls’ minds. This fact makes many relationships explode with different problems. And Caleb is a special boy. When he faced the emotional disputes with Catherine, he was accustomed to blaming all the faults and problems on the woman at the beginning. In the face of problems and mistakes, he chose to avoid or create bigger disputes to gain psychological balance. When the two were about to get divorced, Caleb's dad came forward to talk to his son. Regarding his son's marriage, his father put forward two opinions: 1. Don't be impulsive 2. Seriously take 40 days to love his wife, and then consider whether to divorce. For Caleb it was a psychological turning point, because it was from here that he began to seriously learn how to love.
When he had done it for 20 days, he felt that all the things he had done to please Catherine were so difficult for her to understand that he even wanted to give up. After much consideration, he decided to stick to the 40th day. This is the second turning point, because it is from here that he settles down and tries to understand Catherine's needs and the hurt Catherine has suffered in this marriage. He realized that while he was doing well at work, at home he never fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband.
One day Catherine accidentally discovers Caleb's 40-day plan. She was surprised that the 40-day deadline had been completed, but Caleb was still holding on. This is the third turning point in the relationship between the two. She finally stopped letting herself ignore what Caleb had done for the family, and she realized that Caleb had really changed. He lost his computer and started doing housework, often sending her flowers, calling to care, and caring for her family. Catherine is moved by Caleb, and the two finally get back together.
Yes, love is the greatest education. It teaches us to let go of disputes, let go of impulses, and irrigate each other's hearts with love. You should not always look for mistakes from the other party, but you should think from the other party's point of view. Forgive each other's mistakes, repair each other's wounds with love again, and renew love with love.
