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.

While awaiting the results of a pregnancy test, the Buchmans mull parenthood.

Paul wants to invest in a parking space at the Buchmans' building, even though they don't own a car; a reluctant Jamie is against the idea.

Jamie plans a shower for Lisa; Fran gets back with Mark and quits her job; Paul leaves in a huff after Jamie confesses that she was kissed by a co-worker.

Paul and Jamie deal with marital problems while planning parties for Lisa's engagement and Paul's parents' anniversary.
