That is the point of this movie at its core. A point every positive reviewer (and some of the negative ones) seem to miss. They talk about Finn's quest for discovery, or lessons she learned but fail to tell you what the lesson is.
Most of the women in the movie have been cheated on. Finn suspects her fiancee is cheating (but the movie never bothers to find out for sure) Finn's aunt slept with Finn's grandfather (both aunt and grandmother are in the quilting circle) One woman's husband is a serial cheater, and one of the other women in the circle is one of his conquests. She is unapologetic about it, feels completely justified in betraying her friend, and is even indignant that she is getting any attitude about it. While chronicling all of this Finn cheats on her fiancee.
Then a big storm hits and everyone who was angry about being betrayed gets over it. Everyone feeling guilty about cheating gets over it. All the people still currently cheating get to brush it all aside cuz they still love the person they have been unfaithful to. THE END
So there is your great lesson. Everyone cheats, no one should feel bad about it, and promises of faithfulness and fidelity can be casually dismissed
