a battleground

For many people marriage is a battleground. There’s the story of a couple who came upon a wishing well. The wife leaned over the well, made a wish, and threw a dime in. Her husband was competitive and didn’t want to be outdone, so he tossed in a quarter. He leaned too far over, lost his balance, fell in, and drowned. His wife was stunned for a minute. Then she smiled and said, “Huh, it really works.”
