"Take My Wife" is the eighteenth episode and season finale of the thirteenth season of the animated sitcom Family Guy, and the 249th episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on May 17, 2015, and is written by Kevin Biggins and directed by John Holmquist.
In the episode, Lois books a vacation for her and Peter in the Bahamas, but when they arrive, Peter learns it is actually a marriage counseling program. Meanwhile, Carter watches the Griffin children, but becomes frustrated that all of them simply want to use electronics instead of playing games the old-fashioned way.
Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe are playing poker in Peter's basement when Lois, Donna, and Bonnie inform them that they have booked a couples-only vacation to the Bahamas, although Quagmire discovers that this leaves him out. To watch the kids, Lois arranges for her father Carter to stay at their home. On departure day, Quagmire shows up with his new girlfriend Kimi, whom he met online, and Lois allows them to come. Upon arriving, they settle in, but discover that the resort is actually a relationship counseling retreat. The men are upset at being tricked and only participate halfheartedly. Noel, the counselor, determines that the couples are poorly matched and decides to change them to new pairings like Peter and Kimi, Lois and Cleveland, Joe and Donna, and Quagmire and Bonnie. This experiment actually works out well for the most part. Although some partners get jealous, particularly Lois over Kimi's pairing with Peter.
Meanwhile, the children are all occupied with their electronic devices and ignore Carter. He puts his foot down and takes away their devices and insists on showing them how to have fun the old-fashioned way. He tries to take them swimming, play jacks and exercise but they are not receptive to the idea. Carter then teaches them pranks, which go well, and they soon adjust to playing the old way.
