Up Your Marriage

Val and Jeff decide they're not funny, so why not make a shitty show and relieve the stress. P.S. It turns out quite funny.

Val and Jeff discuss stuff and then Paul Robeson's name came up...what an amazing man he was.

Are you striving to be a perfectionist? This is for you.

Two people married in 1970, and still married. How do they do it? Laughter, conflict and fun.

Does everyone argue? Do people get angry? The answer is yes. And it's okay. Especially if it ends in a giggle or a kiss. Oh...and if you don't like swearing, give this one a miss.

Val woke up depressed, so she talked about it, and guess what, by the end, she felt much better. So maybe sharing is a good thing. Anyhow, Val & Jeff both had a laugh by the end, which is a wonderful thing to do.

Val & Jeff laugh about hypochondria and other stuff.

It's easy to take things personally...so maybe just have a laugh instead.

Wake up laughing and keep going

It's all about love
