How to Stay Married

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.

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 is to wait for the NBN technician, but he is tempted away from his post by Aldi special buy, and his absence means that all the family’s problems fall in Em’s lap.

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.
