In 1973, Scener ur ett ktenskap, a six-part miniseries from the director-screenwriter Ingmar Bergman, premiered on Swedish television, with Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson as the couple at its center. Cut for theatrical release in both Sweden and the United States a year later, it traces in devastating detail the contours of a 20-year relationship (the action starting a decade in): contentment, indiscretions, divorce, remarriage, clandestine reconciliation, and all.
My wife and I are divorcing after 20 years. We have over 500 movies in our itunes library. Unfortunately all everything was on my itunes account. I don't care about the movies. She can have them all and she wants them but I am not willing to give up my apple id which is my email that I have had for 30 years. My entire life is associated with it. Is there any way to transfer ownership of all content to another apple id?
No, there's no way to transfer purchased content from one Apple ID to another. The usual recommendation is to use Family Sharing to make the content available to another Apple ID. However, depending on the civility of the proceedings, that may not be a good option in this case.
The only other thing I can suggest is that you contact Apple Support (upper right corner of every page of these forums) and ask if there is anything they can do. I doubt it but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Matthew Modine plays Greg Townsend a social worker at a juvenile detention center who decides to take some of his teens on a bike ride from Denver to the Grand Canyon. This helps them believe in themselves and come together as a group.
The adult cast is very strong in Hard Miles with Modine capturing a flawed but determined leader. Sean Astin and Cynthia Kaye McWilliams are fine supporting players. By the end we want these boys to succeed and make something of their lives and its gratifying to see them climb every mountain on those bikes.
The latest entry is My Divorce Party which is written and directed by Heidi Weitzer and stars Desiree Staples in the lead role. Staples plays Xan a woman who is sick of her marriage and decides she wants to burn all her assets in a divorce party with her friends so that her ex-husband will not have access to it. Her friends gather with her over the weekend for the Divorce Party and talk her off the ledge, convincing her there is life after divorce.
At night, after the kids went to bed, it was a different story. I often plopped myself down on the couch, not yet ready for bed but exhausted. I needed to unwind, and I found a great way to do that was to grab a glass of wine and a bowl of popcorn and watch movies. Given what I was going through, a lot of those movies were about divorce.
This film follows Daniel Hilliar (Robin Williams), an irresponsible dad with a heart of gold only allowed to see his kids for a short time each week. He soon finds out his ex needs a housekeeper, so he disguises himself as an English nanny named Mrs. Doubtfire and becomes the parent he should have been all along. The movie seems like an absurd comedy at face value but has a lot of hidden gems. A family favorite.
This movie is a drama about a divorced woman, played by Julianne Moore, who works an office job during the day and dances at clubs in Los Angeles at night, which results in her engaging in a new relationship. The film explores family, romance, and identity while offering stunning cinematography and a strong lead performance from Moore. A remake of a 2013 Spanish-language film, both are worth the watch because of the strong acting and even stronger message that your dance card has room on it for new partners after your divorce.
Comedy, romance, and drama are all wrapped into this one film. Here, Cal Weaver (Steve Carell), who seemingly lives an idyllic existence, is thrust into single life when his wife Emily (Julianne Moore) reveals she has been unfaithful and asks for a divorce. Over 40 and forced to re-enter the dating world, Cal encounters Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling), who teaches him how to navigate hookup culture and repair his lost confidence.
Can men and women be just friends, or does the possibility of sex always get in the way? One of my all-time favorites, this film follows Harry (Billy Crystal), a skeptic on love since his divorce, and Sally (Meg Ryan) over 11 years as they struggle to determine the answer to this most highly-debatable question.
In this rom-com, Birdee Pruitt (Sandra Bullock) is humiliated by her best friend on television, who she finds out is also sleeping with her husband. Birdee starts over by moving with her daughter to her small Texas hometown, only to face adversarial acquaintances. Lucky for her, she meets Justin Matisse (Harry Connick Jr.), with whom a romance blossoms.

Many people delay estate planning because facing sickness and death can be uncomfortable. However, preparation is necessary to have your wishes honored as you intend. With this in mind, consider the following suggestions to stay focused on these estate planning goals.
Discussing five movies about relationships over a month could cut the three-year divorce rate for newlyweds in half, researchers report. The study, involving 174 couples, is the first long-term investigation to compare different types of early marriage intervention programs.
Perhaps most exciting, added Rogge, is that this self-help exercise could open new possibilities for nurturing nuptial ties on a broad scale. "It's incredibly portable. There are really great marriage intervention programs available now but most require trained therapists to administer them. If couples can do this on their own, it makes it so much easier to help them," he said.
Rogge and a team of researchers including co-author Thomas Bradbury, a professor of psychology and co-director of the Relationship Institute at UCLA, published the findings in the December issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
Religious groups have long-standing traditions of offering marriage preparation classes, but with roughly half of all marriages in the United State ending in divorce, secular institutions are now joining the effort. For example, Fairfax County, Va. offers free "compassion training" to newlyweds, the U.S. military has an "oxygen for your relationships" program, and Oklahoma, home to the nation's highest divorce rate, has poured millions into its "marriage initiative."
An underpinning of many of these programs, backed by earlier research, is that couples will weather the friction of living together better if they can master certain relationship skills. "When we started this study, the prevailing wisdom was that the best way to keep relationships healthy and strong was to help couples manage difficult, potentially divisive conversations," explained Bradbury.
To test this theory, the team randomly assigned newlyweds to one of three groups: conflict management, compassion and acceptance training, and relationship awareness through film. They chose to concentrate on the first three years of marriage, because "relationship dissolution is front-ended," said Bradbury; one in four ends in divorce.
The conflict management group learned a technique for discussing heated issues that slows down the pace of the exchange and helps individuals focus on what their partner is saying instead of rushing to respond. Sometimes called active listening or the speaker-listener technique, the practice requires one spouse to listen and then paraphrase back to the partner what they have heard to ensure the message has been properly understood. Earlier studies on this technique have shown it to be effective at promoting happier and more satisfying relationships over three to five years.
The compassion and acceptance training cohort participated in an intervention designed by Rogge and his collaborators aimed at helping couples work together as a team and find common ground around their similarities. Couples were encouraged through a series of lectures and exercises to approach their relationships with more compassion and empathy by doing things like listening as a friend, practicing random acts of kindness and affection, and using the language of acceptance.
Both programs involved weekly lectures, supervised practice sessions, and homework assignments over the course of a month, for a total investment of roughly 20 hours, all but two of which were with a therapist.
By contrast, the movie-and-talk group devoted half as much time to their assignments and all but four hours took place in their own homes. Participants first attended a 10-minute lecture on the importance of relationship awareness and how watching couples in movies could help spouses pay attention to their own behavior, both constructive and destructive.
They then watched Two for the Road, a 1967 romantic comedy about the joys and strains of young love, infidelity, and professional pressures across 12 years of a marriage. Afterward, each couple met separately to discuss a list of 12 questions about the screen couple's interactions. One question, for example, asked how the movie partners handled arguments: "Were they able to open up and tell each other how they really felt, or did they tend to just snap at each other with anger? Did they try using humor to keep things from getting nasty?" The couple was asked to consider in what way the movie relationship was "similar to or different from your own relationship in this area?"
Study participants were sent home with a list of 47 movies with intimate relationships as a major plot focus and asked to watch one a week for the next month, followed by the same guided discussion for about 45 minutes.
Which approach proved most effective? To the surprise of the researchers, all worked equally well. All three methods halved the divorce-and-separation rate to 11 percent compared to the 24 percent rate among the couples in the control group. Partners in the control group received no training or instructions but were otherwise similar in age, education, ethnicity, relationship satisfaction, and other dimensions.
