Holy cow. The Adams' are actually great actors.

[@margaretfalde]

"You're not the ninny, I'm the ninny...!" 😂

[@leighness1988]

For a five minute clip, the Adams couple had great chemistry. They were adorable. And Mr. Caine was a horse's ass.

[@moongem4489]

The Adams couple is super cute

[@Laura_B__]

This is sensible advice for any generation.

[@Isaiah-um4yi]

Woah. I don’t think I’ve ever saw acting this intricate and good. I’m shocked

[@shreyashahi2624]

This is just not for marital conflicts but every conflict in general.

[@chaiq.3304]

Mr adams looks like a cross of tom hanks and matthew perry

[@sadvictoriam3543]

he sounds like Fred Flintstone

[@edwardgaines6561]

Anne Cabrera He kinda...sounds like Perry too!

[@emerybayblues]

Ron Masak. I remember him as Sheriff Metzger on Murder She Wrote.

[@pen-and_paper]

Tanya Cabrera Yes yes, exactly !!

[@mchris65]

I recognized him from a ton of old sitcoms but never would have known his name.

[@新藤実幸]

my, the adams are great actors

[@friesxnxcoke]

This is actually solid advice

[@madisonpiker1384]

monica and chandler hahah

[@NYxxDanceislife]

Madison Piker hahaha omg it does look like them

[@Isaiah-um4yi]

I KNEW THEY LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE. IM DEADDDD

[@malibu64]

This is good advice. Conflict is inevitable and I like these guidelines for dealing with it when it arises. It makes me feel a little bit less afraid of it.

[@hoagie1978]

Mr. Adams is played by actor Ron Masak (best known for Murder She Wrote).

[@traci0dee]

Thank you so much. I KNEW I knew him from somewhere. :)

[@audreyjohnson8241]

It's Mort! I still have all the seasons on CD!!

[@lisaylot5117]

“...Might be bad for you & the baby” as he smokes his pipe right next to her

[@Saint-Johnn]

Lisa Ylot There weren’t enough medical studies on the affects of smoking near children and pregnant women at that time to know it was harmful. Good try at the “oh but he did this”.

[@AlbertaRose94]

@@Saint-Johnn I wasted two hours of my life with a woman who had that attitude. Now she's pissed of at my husband and I because we are refusing to take sides and point out that no one is right, no one is wrong, attitudes towards each other needs to change. She wants us to keep what she says confidential but expects us to tell her what her husband said.

[@ej_l2525]

mr adam looks like chandler...

[@tlo.b]

I thought it was going to be sexist but was actually pretty good advices

[@nicoledoubleyou7733]

That's usually the case with these vintage things. Honestly the average woman had it pretty good back then. We weren't just pushed around, woman weren't weak. They were strong and stood up for themselves just like Mrs. Adams did here.

[@alicelisch9831]

Mr Kayne is demeaning.

[@MyDearAira]

Mrs. Adams reminds me of the mum in Malcolm In The Middle.

[@laylacota9604]

Aira Vitash Lois hahahha

[@kaylabrewer8115]

YES!!!! Omg!!!

[@edwardgaines6561]

It's that long "horse face" of hers.

[@risingboo2912]

Im the ninny!

[@charizmaticchronicles]

Low key all I want is enough money to have a place to live and build my family, and a vehicle to get from point A to point B.

[@gabys.cherry8148]

Mrs Adams looks like Amy Winehouse

[@remabarve]

She is cute and smart.

[@miameow4833]

I was thinking of Rita Moreno. But yeah, now I see it.

[@angelinaschlesinger]

“So stupid that I’m in charge of my own department” dayyyummmmmmm got em lol😂😂😂. On a real note I also thought this might be sexist but this was some very sound advice that remains ageless.

[@who511]

Adams are nice.

[@averyviolet3763]

This was actually pretty good

[@ZiggyWhiskerz]

this is still good advice. even today

[@AlbertaRose94]

Sooo glad we spent the money on Marriage Counselling and took the full 16 sessions instead of being cheap and only taking 8-12.

[@agrondinsmith85]

Actually, this was a good lesson.

[@carlygardner9561]

Yea I woulda slapped tf outta mr Cain when he brought up paying her moms rent

[@kamik271001]

Carly Gardner Yea abuse works both ways

[@melba10]

Oh, come on if someone's family gets financial support then that family has to be quiet and accept the decisions of the bread winner.

[@MadameTeresa]

Great, simple advice!

[@summerallday8102]

What's a ninny? ninie? neney? nenney? ninney? nennie? nenie?

[@traci0dee]

A ninny is a foolish person. :)

[@summerallday8102]

Thx

[@xStephism]

Wow! Fantastic advice!

[@loviemonroe21]

The Adams couple remind me of the couple in Clerks 😂

[@leavemealonethx]

Mrs Adams looks like Sarah Silverman

[@cynthiaesquibel3191]

Excellent advice..but what do you do when one half of the couple cannot accept true responsibility for saying vicious, cruel, and hurtful things? Who ends up making his wife cry during every argument, and, though he apologizes when it gets to that point, he still denies any wrongdoing and turns it around on his wife, claiming she's too 'weekend's and, when she tries to explain what he said that hurt her, he denied saying it, accused her of putting words in his mouth, and goes on a half hour rant about how she can never shut up and has to have the last word. (If anyone does have a true and helpful comment, please offer it. It will be appreciated by this wife I speak of, I know her well and I've no more ideas or advice for her)

[@ms.erikavlogs1814]

This shit is so true... this sounds like our fights lol

[@pnithyashree5263]

Mr Kayne sounds like Mark Consuelos

[@miameow4833]

Thought he sounded like guy from old show playing Felix Unger in "The Odd Couple"

[@simplyme8593]

Wow

[@coralarch]

I think the first couple are reading from cue cards.

[@Distortedthoughts]

I hate conflict. Staying single

[@AR-ws1gr]

It's worth it when you pick a companion well and get to know each other and how to work with one another. Idk. I see a lot of people say they despise relationships and responsibilities.

[@nicoledoubleyou7733]

Conflict is how you grow.

[@agirlwithdreams15]

Same.

[@noice2606]

I’m ok with conflict, but so happy by myself. But, I do find more happiness in others relationships. Am I just strange?

[@AlbertaRose94]

How do you avoid conflict in your place of employment? Also it must be nice to never have conflict with your friends, family or whatever community or church group you belong to.

[@roverdome]

The Adams look like Ron Livingston and Melissa Rivers kinda!

[@shanegrim5421]

Great video!

[@ChildlessCatLady]

Maybe if the husband's employers paid their workers a decent wage, there would be a lot more happy marriages. The employers were greedy even then.

[@NetSunJin]

Very good advice lol.

[@chelseadubois1175]

Kayne reminds me of my ex >:(

[@lorynlolalamidi3267]

This is why couples stayed together back then

[@Miss_K3k97]

Oluwapolola Lamidi Also divorce was very rare back then but only necessary in the case of abuse, neglect. or drunkenness. Jackie Kennedy is a really good example because President JFK cheated on her all the time, even with Marilyn Monroe. Jackie's only rule though was "Don't embarrass me in public."

[@anastasia10017]

a divorce was not easy to get back then. also not socially acceptable.

[@summerallday8102]

Lol my last name is Adams
