Subscribe nowThe great philosopher Homer Simpson once said, “The problem with most relationships is communication…too much communication!” This occurs in the season 10 episode I’m with Cupid, and, of course, Homer says this sitting on the couch with a beer, while his wife Marge is scrambling with everyday housework and papers and basically trying to keep the family intact.
