Relationships

When I was growing up as a boy in the country I learned the tragic results of a bad relationship. We had a neighbor and his wife who were always arguing and fighting. Finally they divided their house by drawing a chalk line down the middle. The wife took one side and the husband took the other and they would dare each other to cross the line. The husband would torment his wife by sticking his toe across the line and she would swing at it with an axe while he pulled it back quickly. For years they coexisted in this relationship until their house burned down. (Lou Nicholes, Missionary/Author).
