Jerry Seinfeld didn’t have to look far for ideas for his new reality show on wedded bliss, The Marriage Ref. The series brings together a number of stars to offer up their advice for couples struggling through tough times.

Seinfeld apparently spent endless hours discussing the joys of marriage with his buddy, series host, Tom Papa.
