The Importance of Safety in Marriage

I think it's just the threat of living dangerously. By changing his mind and staying safe, he was able to survive. I mean, he almost kills himself at this party. Every time he gets close to making a bad choice, he somehow avoids it. The illusion of safety in marriage, I think is like a big theme of the movie. Do we buy that Dr. Bill wears ogs at home? We can see it. Slippers watching a football game, drinking a Budweiser. He doesn't strike me as I'll just have a beer guy.
