If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.
What is fascinating about marriage is why anyone wants to get married.
Marriage isn't about a collection of scenes over ten years of two people telling each other that they love each other. It's about commitment.
