Advice for a happy marriage
Relationships always look better to outside observers
It's easy to look at a relationship from afar and think it's perfect. Especially judging by the images on social networks. It is no different with famous couples who are seen during romantic dinners and judged by the compliments they give to their partner during interviews. But it is Beckham who reveals in the series that everything is not always perfect. Far from it.
Victoria admits she wasn't keen on moves, including moving to Spain. She does not like the sudden changes with which she had to adapt to her husband's career. David, on the other hand, talks about the mental pain he experienced when he received hatred from the fans or during the dispute with the then coach of Real.
A good relationship requires a lot of effort
What about that moment when Victoria had a C-section while David was posing with Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez?! The fashion designer and recent spouse clearly admits that she was angry, and we have no problem understanding her. These are moments that the public didn't know about before. And from this we can learn that every couple faces problems that are hidden from the eyes of others. No one lives a perfect life, no matter how hard they try. An even more important conclusion of this documentary series is that all relationships also have that other side.
Every couple faces at least one long conflict or doubts that put the relationship on the line. The foundations of the Beckham family were severely shaken by accusations of David's infidelity, which in turn affected the couple as well. It is not right to try to portray this false perfection. Whether we are famous or not. We don't want to talk about that one-year period when we were considering divorce. Instead, we post romantic photos from our annual vacation with a loving message about our partner. There is nothing wrong with celebrating love, but there is a lot wrong with not acknowledging how difficult it is to maintain a good relationship between two partners. Relationships require a lot of work.
