Produced by:
David Collier

A funny and touching look at the nature of commitment through the philosophy and advice of five couples who have stayed together for 50 years or longer.

Co-presentation of P.O.V.

Premiere: P.O.V., July 13, 1993 at 10 PM

"Instructive, uplifting and unusual: seldom does TV make time for people in their 70s and 80s."
- The Associated Press
"FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE is about love and commitment, but it's also about old age-warts and all. Too often we see only the warts; this delightful, sweet film gives a more balanced picture."
- Oakland Tribune
"Touching, funny, thoughtful and just a wonderful hour that no one who has ever had a romantic relationship should miss. It's great conversation about life and how we live it."
- Courier-Journal
