Sometimes reading a quote creates an "aha moment". I have had a great many of them over the past 66 years and had another today while reading a weekly news magazine. The quote was attributed to Sydney Smith, an English writer. The quote was picked up from the Fort Wayne Indiana News-Sentinel.
"Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they can't be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them."
Since I am a very visual learner, the image of a pair of shears came easy to me. Have you ever seen a pair of shears with the center pin broken or lost? No matter how sharp the blades, a pair of shears that is not joined so it cannot be separated is utterly useless.
