Here's a little public domain video, which I thought you mind find interesting to watch. Times have obviously changed...but perhaps not that much, depending on the country. Watch and answer the questions that follow. And don't worry if you think the video is a bit odd -- I do, too!

1. In what country do you think this film was produced and released? What clues are there?
2. In the beginning of the video, the narrator uses three verbs beginning with the letter "b" to describe the different phases of marriage. What are they?
3. What is the message or purpose of the video?
4. What organization do you think sponsored this video? Do you think it was a successful campaign? Were there (or are there today) similar campaigns in your country (Spain) or other country you have visited?
5. What are some of the challenges married couples face, according to the video?
6. In what ways would one say the video is "politically incorrect," by today's standards?
7. What clues are there in the video that the country in which it was produced follows a Judeo-Christian tradition? (What is the last thing the narrator says?)
