The New York Times Sunday Magazine article entitled Married (Happily) With Issues, was discussed by the author, Liz Weil, and her husband, Dan Duane, on KQED's radio program, Forum.  The marriage therapies the couple participated in, and experimented with,  both for their marriage's viability and to research for the magazine article, are explored on air.  The first paragraph in the article sets the scene:

"I have a pretty good marriage. It could be better. There are things about my husband that drive me crazy. Last spring he cut apart a frozen pig’s head with his compound miter saw in our basement. He needed the head to fit into a pot so that he could make pork stock. I’m no saint of a spouse, either. I hate French kissing, compulsively disagree and fake sleep when Dan vomits in the middle of the night. Dan also once threatened to punch my brother at a family reunion at a lodge in Maine. But in general we do O.K."
