Marriage is all fun and games until your wife wants a YEAR apart...

During a cringey visit to IKEA, the store where relationships go to die, Emma finally blurts out to Rob that she is no longer happy in their 26-year marriage. It's been decades of stagnation, boredom, frustration.

Emma is desperate to get more out of life. She wants more meaningful work, connections, thrills, joy - and more passionate sex. It's been ages.

Rob knows their marriage isn't perfect, but it's good enough...isn't it? He's loyal, solid, a good provider. He's been there for her. What more does she want, anyway?

As a last-ditch effort to salvage their sanity and maybe, just maybe, come back together happier, Emma suggests taking a Marriage Gap Year. Time apart, no calls, no texts. This feisty communications manager wants the comms switched off between them for the next 12 months.

As Rob and Emma embark on their Gap Year, the sparkling Instagram-perfect expectations Emma envisioned don't quite match the reality. But the more time they spend apart, the more Rob and Emma both begin to remember who they were before the kids, the jobs, and their endless responsibilities.

Will their marriage survive a year apart?
