Better With You is an American romcom which commenced on ABC on September 22, 2010. With stars like Jennifer Finnigan and Joana Garcia, the show focuses on three different relationships. These relationships portray the different stages of romance which are surprisingly found in one single family.

One of the relationships portrayed in the series is of Maddie’s parents, Vicky and Joel who have been happily married for 35 years. Maddie herself is involved in a live-in relationship with Ben, for the past nine years. But, she is contented with the matter and does not have any intentions to tie the conjugal knot. Her younger sister Mia gets pregnant while being engaged to Casey for only seven weeks. Maddie develops jealousy, when her sister declares her plans of getting married. To her surprise, her parents also give her younger sister the green signal to tie the knot. Her shock is multiplied when she becomes aware that even, Ben was aware of Mia’s pregnancy and, she was the only one, who was excluded from the fact. Mia’s desire to get married also lets Maddie question about the future of her own relationship with Ben.

The turbulent relationships render every concerned person, bereft of love. Although Mia and Casey have announced that they are smitten with each other, they are still involved in petty fights. During their first fight, Maddie acts as a mediator, but ends up making things even worse. On the contrary, Vicky and Joel try to find new methods to resolve their fights. Even their long term marriage is not deprived of its own fights. In one of the episodes, Ben gets hurt when he is excluded from the Christmas photograph.

After overcoming her initial envy about Mia’s wedding, Maddie gets involved in wedding preparations in full swing. She even manages to arrange a meeting with the topmost wedding planner of the city. But unfortunately, the plans do not wind up as expected. Thus, the season one of the series progresses with the ups and downs associated with these three types of relationships.
