Marriage Bliss
Some things become better with time, like cheese, wine, and liquor. Other things sour or become stale, like milk or bread. Marriage can do either. Sometimes couples become lifelong partners and friends, accompanying each other throughout the journey called life. Others simply live together while getting under each other skin.
Mostly, it’s both, depending on the stresses of marriage and life in general. This person’s parents apparently are going through a period of the second one, with her mother yelling at her father for daring to speak. To be fair, married men live significantly longer than unmarried; while married women have comparatively short lives to single women. So, perhaps some yelling is warranted.
