The Marrying Kind is the fourteenth episode of the nineteenth season of the animated comedy show, Family Guy.
In this episode, the Griffin family attends a friend's wedding, which prompts Peter and Lois to reflect on their own marriage. They reminisce about their past, including their first kiss, and confess that they have not had a romantic night out in a long time. Chris and Megan, the bride and groom, approach the couple and lament how their pre-marriage counseling was ineffective in addressing their biggest questions about their future together.
Seeing this as an opportunity to rekindle the spark in their own marriage, Peter and Lois offer to counsel Chris and Megan themselves. The couple prove to be a challenge, as their opposing views on topics such as future children and career ambitions, lead to several disagreements and resentments. Despite this, the Griffins persist in their efforts to help the couple, drawing on their own personal experiences and advice from loyal friends like Quagmire and Bonnie.
As the wedding approaches, Chris and Megan appear more and more uncertain about their future together, and things come to a head when they're both left at the altar. Peter and Lois intervene, convincing them to get back together and compromise on their differences and give their relationship a chance.
The episode skillfully brings together both humor and sentimentality, using the wedding as a backdrop to explore the dynamic between Peter and Lois, while also offering insightful commentary on the highs and lows of marriage and relationships in general. Fans of Family Guy will enjoy the usual wit and offbeat humor that the show is known for, while appreciating the heartwarming moments that help to elevate this particular episode. Overall, The Marrying Kind is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone who enjoys a cleverly crafted comedy with a touching message.
