In sickness and health, richer or poorer, til death do you part.
...Doesnt marriage sound fun?

Til Death Aired From September 07, 2006 - June 20, 2010 On FOX.

The Plot:
Why do they say all that stuff at weddings about “sickness and health, richer or poorer, ˜til death do you part? They say it because at some point, you'll both get sick, you very well might be poor, and you'll never sleep with anyone else ever again - because you're going to be with each other until you die.

Doesn't marriage sound fun?
˜TIL DEATH is a comedy about long-married couple EDDIE and JOY STARK, who are closing in on day 9,000 of their marriage and have the battle scars to prove it. Their new next-door neighbors are young newlyweds STEPH and JEFF WOODCOCK – idealistic, passionate, adorable and married for a matter of days. It’s a show about new marriage versus old marriage, about keeping the romance alive – or at least staying together so you have someone to drive you to the hospital for your operations.

Eddie is a cynical realist who considers himself an expert on most topics. A high school history teacher, he’s learned well the lessons of history and applies the basic principles to his marriage: all fights are about power, land and resources. A veteran of the marriage wars, Eddie freely gives his advice to the younger, idealistic Jeff, who’s the new vice principal at Eddie’s school. Of course, Eddie’s little secret all along is that he loves Joy more than anything. And however brash and sardonic Joy herself appears, she loves Eddie right back.
