Series 5 | Episode 22 | Secrets of a Successful Marriage

Homer with a Marge substitute shrub

Somehow Homer comes to teach an adult education class on how to have a successful marriage. Even stranger, he turns out to be pretty good at it, dispensing homespun advice that his students find useful.

He also dispenses quite a bit of personal information and gossip about his marriage to Marge, which causes his better half to go half-crazy. Homer apologises but can't seem to stop airing their dirty laundry in class. Marge kicks Homer out and he begins sleeping in Bart's tree house.

Under these conditions, Homer begins to degenerate. After listening to her husband apologise profusely, Marge realises that Homer needs her more than anyone else in the world and accepts him back.

'That's because you were drunk!'
- Marge
