While the performer has a great voice, I don't know that he was the best choice for this story. He was too bombastic for this particular MC, in my opinion.
I didn't love this one.
First of all, I'm in couples therapy right now, and it's NOTHING like this. Now, I realize this is SF, and the story itself was intended to be humorous, but I think I'm too sensitized to the idea of successful, collaborative couples therapy being a thing that works to accept such a satirical view of it. I don't blame the author; this is purely an issue that _I_ have.
Second, and again because the story was a funny one and giant sweeping generalizations and stereotypical characters are permitted in the humor medium, I just didn't like the way the story was told. For whatever reason, it felt very sitcom-y, where the therapist and the wife argue a lot until the husband (I know, they weren't married yet) does something totally romantic that makes the studio audience go "awwwwwwww" and the story ends. I'm way burned out on stories like that -- both televised and written. Even in a humorous story, I needed something a little more than what I got.
Third, I didn't much care for the "traditional relationship" overtones of the story, where the guy feels as though he has to be the white knight, riding in on his charger (or spaceship) to save the girl. Once more, humor, but still -- there was an element of d/s to the story, a subtle one in my opinion, that rubbed me the wrong way.
That said, I did find it interesting how it was the wife who took control of the immersion and came up with a scenario that would get the husband to break through.
Overall... this just wasn't the story for me.
