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.
Need to spice up your marriage? Well, good luck with that... Greg (Pete Helliar) and Em (Lisa McCune) are trying to figure out how to stay married in this funny & honest take on partnership.
It's date night for Greg and Em. Despite the best romantic efforts on both sides (including a trip to the beautician and personalised T-shirts), expectations are not quite met, and friction arises.
Terry recommends that Greg have a vasectomy to simplify the contraception, and Marlo recommends that Em do something dangerous (like skydiving) to kick-start her libido.
Em regrets that she hasn't been around enough since going back to work. She makes plans to go to Sophie's basketball game, but gets trapped in a well-known author's impromptu adult fiction reading.
Who doesn't love a hard rubbish collection? The Butler family is seriously low on personal space and need to throw out their old things so uncle Brad can move into the cubby house.
It's Em's 25-year high school reunion, and she's looking forward to flaunting her new job. Meanwhile, Greg tries to 'be cool' about meeting Em's significant high school ex.
Greg and Em implement a screen ban to give the family a break from technology. It turns out to be a great idea, in theory.
It's Greg and Em's 15-year wedding anniversary and, as usual, things don't go as planned.
Envious of not being considered "the cool house" where kids like to hang out, Greg and Em encourage Sophie to have her friends over, promising not to embarrass her.
When Brad announces his plans to propose to new flame Nadia, Greg and Em seize the opportunity to right the wrongs of their own botched proposal seventeen years earlier.
Greg hatches a 'foolproof' plan to earn funds for the family holiday by selling the mighty TurboMax mixer, while Em juggles having Chloe at work for the day.
When Em's pompous father and stepmother come over for a family BBQ, Greg attempts to ask them for money while Em stokes the fires of familial conflict to generate material for her book.
Greg's task for the day is to wait at home for the NBN technician but he is tempted away from his post by a once-in-a-lifetime Aldi special buy, and his absence means that all the family's problems fall in Em's lap.
After a sobering cyber-safety information night, Greg and Em decide to install a secret surveillance app on Sophie's phone and are shocked to discover her sexting with a boy from school.
Em's determined to finally tell Greg about the book she's writing. An unexpected dinner invitation sees Em take drastic action to prevent Greg finding out the wrong way.
As Greg and Em try to resolve the tension over Em's book, the Butler House prepares for Brad and Nadia's wedding.
