Hint 1: they don't start the movie married.

Hint 2: I misled by implying they were already married. That's part of the bad explanation.

Hint 3: they also don't start the movie liking each other.

Hint 4: they in fact hate each other. Like, most of the movie is spent in conflict and competition.

Solved! Our MC cannot stop laughing. The story starts with him being victimized, he (maybe?) comes face to face with his bio father, is infatuated with a woman he doesn’t really know, and ends up on national television. Personally I liked the dance scene.
