I Love My Wife is a musical with a book and lyrics by Michael Stewart and music by Cy Coleman, based on the French play Viens chez moi, j'habite chez une copine (lit. 'Come up to my place, I'm living at a girlfriend's'), written by Luis Rego and Didier Kaminka with the collaboration of Jean-Luc Voulfow and Jean-Paul Sèvres.

A satire of the sexual revolution of the 1970s, the musical takes place on Christmas Eve in suburban Trenton, New Jersey, where two married couples who have been close friends since high school find themselves contemplating a ménage-à-quatre.

The play was also adapted into a 1981 French film, though that film and the original play have little in common besides the title.
