People get married because they want to spend the rest of their life with their best friend, not because they're looking for someone to fight with. But friendship will wither and die if it doesn't receive adequate time and attention. After 35 years of married life, Maggie and Wallace are better friends than ever. Several times a week they take a walk together. Their friendship time is a chance to unwind and reconnect.
All couples disagree, and sometimes disagreements turn into arguments.
