Moderated by Robert Kroepsch. Roger Ebert believes that society might be trying to liberate itself from "American, middle-class concepts of marriage" that include property, legally binding documents, children, stereotypical gender roles, and divorce. He proposes that alternative forms of marriage, such as communal marriage and common law marriage, might help address these issues. Ebert begins a discussion with the audience about the possibility of women keeping their last names, reasons for getting married, factors that contribute to the success or failure of a marriage, accepting change in marriage, new trends in marriage, sexual incompatibility, affairs, open marriages, women with jobs, and equality.
