A comment 

Married couples are to complement each other so they can be fused as one. If I have nothing you are lacking and you have nothing that I lack, how can we complement each other and be fused as one? The present-day cliche for cause of divorce which is "incompatibility" is absurd. Married couples are supposed to correct each other to make them better versions of themselves so they can be fused as one. The stage of correction is very difficult but once the couple go past that, bliss is achieved, that is why they say, "your spouse should be like your friend", rightly so because a friend will tell you the truth even if it hurts and a friend will never let go no matter what.

They are not hanging Wright tonight

A Jewish attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution. 
His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.
As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him about, 
'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been?
Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'. And on and on and on.
Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs.

While he was in the bath, the phone rang. The wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight.
Finally realizing what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news. 
As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.
'They're not hanging Wright tonight,' she said.

He whirled around and screamed, 
'FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?!'
