Tyler brings those convictions, along with a double dose of prime-time humor, to The Marriage Counselor, a play about Roger (Tony Grant), an accountant, and his wife Judith (Támar Davis), a marriage counselor. The couple struggle to keep their love alive despite family troubles in the form of in-laws who dont get along Rogers pot-smoking dad and Judiths Bible-thumping mom dont see eye to eye. Money problems, late nights at the office and an old boyfriend also threaten the marriage. Of course, all of this is held together with a message about the power of faith.
