Why Did I Get Married Cast
Why Did I Get Married?, a moving film on how challenging it is to sustain a healthy marriage in contemporary society, was released on October 12 by Lionsgate Films.
This movie is about four Black couples who have been closest friends since college and meet in the mountains for a retreat. Tyler Perry wrote, produced, directed, and starred in it.
