		The health of marriage is particularly important in a free society, which depends upon citizens to govern their private lives and rear their children responsibly, so as to limit the scope, size, and power of the state.
		The cornerstone cases acknowledging marriage as a fundamental right are laced with language referring to the ancient recognized nature of that institution, specifically tying part of its critical importance to its role in procreation and thus, to the union of a man and a woman.
		This view of marriage radically sidelines the main feature that makes marriage unique and important as a social institution--that is, the attempt to bridge sex difference and struggle with the generative power of opposite-sex unions, including the reality that children often arise (intentionally and not) from heterosexual unions.

		Scenes from a Marriage is an extremely well acted drama and, at the time, Bergman was nearly alone among filmmakers willing to examine human relationships with such honesty and depth.
		All this said, Scenes from a Marriage does have its share of memorable moments: Marianne watching Johan building a fire and recalling the man she fell in love with; Marianne's visit to her recently widowed mother (Wenche Foss), a woman resigned to the fact that when her husband died he took her identity with him.

		The TV version has a few added scenes, such as Johan and Marianne eating, and him complaining of his and Paula’s shit little concrete apartment, as well as Johan declaiming their marriage was too dependent on material things, and that was its weakness.
		While it details a marriage, that marriage fails not because of the husband’s midlife crisis, nor does it even fail because of the wife’s first infidelity and over-compensatory smothering, but because the two characters were simply ill suited for one another — personally, emotionally, politically, sexually, and philosophically.
		Were that not so Scenes from a Marriage would not be as engrossing, insightful, and relevant a work of art as it still is, as it would be like so many other marriages and films in the real world — thriving on the low hum of ignorance that its participants and viewers enjoy.

	Guardian \| Scenes from a marriage
		An incremental documentary on the subject of lovers is going to be spoilt for such poignancy because the gap between ambition and reality is more apparent in romance than any other area of human activity.
		So, interviewed in 2002, Julie, with Stuart gazing up at her, declares: "I could never be unfaithful to Stuart." Three years later, Stuart, in the catch-up interview, has the whole frame to himself because Julie has left him after a 10-month affair with a bloke who gave her a lift to work.
		And programmes which track marriages also avoid a traditional problem with oral history on television: lack of illustration.

		First scene: Johan and Marianne are conventional and set in their ways and believe in material security.
		In the first scene they present a pretty picture of an almost ideal marriage, which is confronted moreover with an inferno-like relationship.
		In these efforts they are even a degree worse than Peter and Katarina in the first scene, who have a certain routine in their inferno and are, as it were, more professional in their savagery.

		And so begins one of the truest, most luminous love stories ever made, Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage." The marriage of Johan and Marianne will disintegrate soon after the film begins, but their love will not.
		They will fight and curse each other, and it will be a wicked divorce, but in some fundamental way they have touched, really touched, and the memory of that touching will be something to hold to all of their days.

		It seemed to make sense that the film would be about a marriage in a precarious position with all the levels of denial and hope that get merged in that situation; the feeling of future and life ahead, when really the relationship is in such a precarious way.
		Normally, a scene like that would be shot in a half a day or a day; in our film, it would have been shot before breakfast.
