A relevant theme is delivered while providing some hysterical laughs in The Stepford Wives. Joanna and Walter face a troubled marriage as Walter desires perfection in his wife and doesn’t realize that he’s expecting the impossible. He has not learned to accept her, or anyone else for that matter, as she is. Commendably, he seeks, not a divorce, but a better marriage after many troubled years. Thanks to significant efforts on Walter’s part, the marriage and their love for each other is revived. They both nurture the relationship with consistent old-fashioned hard work.
