How to Stay Married

Season 1

How To Stay Married goes behind the closed doors of a two-point four family who are stuck in a rut. Greg and Em have been married for 14 years, but their relationship is lacking spark. Life gets complicated when Em goes back to work for the first time since the kids were born, just as Greg is made redundant. The series is a spin-off of an episode of the 2013 anthology comedy series It's a Date on the ABC.
