This is actually a two-act romantic comedy centered around a very special bed.  Joe is an aspiring painter and Sara is a registered nurse and they are drowning in love for each other.  The natural step for them is to get married, and in June 1983 they take the plunge and the two could not be happier.Sara’s dad gives Joe a job until his art career takes off, and this is not always a comfortable situation.  Joe’s art is not selling as he hoped, and when Sara is about to give birth to their first child, he delivers some shocking news.  Sara is a level headed young lady, and she offers Joe some advice that will change their lives forever.Fast forward to years later and the couple enjoys the fruits of success far above what they expected, but something seems to be missing.  It seems that they have lost themselves along the way and the marriage is not as strong as it once was.  Only after each of them seem to develop an interest outside the marriage do they realize exactly how much they have to lose and remind themselves of the promises they made to each other when they were so young.I loved this play.  The couple represents the situation that so many couples face, but instead of calling it quits, they decided to fight through it.  It touches on so many life situations but interlaces humor to keep it light-hearted.  Joe and Sara loved each other so deeply that even death does not separate them.  Such a touching reminder of the important things in life.  I highly recommend this to young and old alike.
