In this comedy, married New York couple Paul and Jamie Buchman (Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt) share their lives and offer wit and wisdom about relationships. Paul is a documentary filmmaker and Jamie works as a public relations specialist. Together, they grow and mature as they learn the art of staying married and loving it. Along for the ride is their ever-tolerant dog, Murray; Jamie's best friend, Fran; Jamie's sister, Lisa; and Paul's cousin, Ira. Playing recurring characters on the series are veteran actors including Lisa Kudrow and Hank Azaria.

Arriving home with their newborn baby, Paul and Jamie fear the unknown and tolerate advice from Jamie's mom.

Paul finds that writing a letter to the baby for her to open on her 18th birthday isn't as easy for him as for Jamie.

Paul's sperm sample is missing after the Buchmans' car is stolen; when Paul and Jamie finally arrive at the hospital after a series of delays, a keyed-up Paul has trouble producing a new sample.

Paul is torn when Jamie is in the hospital for a minor procedure to determine if she can get pregnant at the same time he's required to be at a business meeting; Paul's job is on the line when Ira pretends to be his agent.
