Everyman: The Marriage Paradox

BBC One
on BBC One London

This week: The Marriage Paradox
In the wedding ceremony, couples vow to marry 'till death us do part': yet last year the British were divorcing at the rate of 2,700 a week. Is the vow too strong? Or are people today too weak?
Peter France gives the results of a national opinion poll, commissioned by Everyman, to present-day attitudes to the wedding vows; meets couples who have experienced the marriage paradox; and suggests a new vow that might be more realistic for weddings today.
