Marriage - by Rick Chafe (Paperback)

About the Book

What could help patch up a marriage better than a home renovation?

Book Synopsis

Wayne thinks he's doing his wife Julie a favor by hiring a young couple to help redo the kitchen (at a fraction of the cost she'd hoped for). But Julie has higher standards in mind. John and Maggie think they've found a way to make some quick money to pay off the land John bought. John just proposed, but Maggie hasn't given her answer yet. With both couples on edge amongst themselves and at each other, everything from kitchen cabinets and coffee makers to generational differences and life choices are cause for ridicule, making a play that's hilarious and relatable.
