    Episode 4: On Being Stuck Together, ALL THE TIME...

    Years before Covid-19, Eric and Jo and their small child lived in close quarters in an isolated “homestead” high in the southern Rockies. In this episode they reminisce about that era in their marriage, blissfully unaware that 2020 would bring about a sequel of sorts.

    Episode 1: Fake Listening and Mis-remembering the Proposal

    This is… Marriage: On a rainy day in Paris, Johanna and Eric find a quiet corner (kind of) in the Pompidou Center to discuss how they struggle to listen to each other and can’t quite agree on the events that led up to their engagement over a decade earlier.

Refreshing & Hilarious

Johanna and Eric take a fun, relaxed look at their marriage after the first ten years... what follows is an honest dialogue about their roles, motivations, and memories (whether they agree or not!) It’s fun and REAL with a great, happy marriage suggestion from Jo: “Be on the same team”. Love it!
