Lack Of Communication

One of the early 1980's Heavy Metal bands, Ratt, sang a song called "Lack Of Communication." This song came to mind when I went to Cracker Barrel for lunch today. I sat at a table beside this couple that were probably in their early to mid 30's. They had a 9 month old girl with them that I assumed was their daughter. I probably sat beside them for about 45 minutes and they barely said a word to each other the entire time. My first thought was "They must be married." Communication is a key to any relationship, whether it be just dating or married. You have to be able to talk to each other. It doesn't matter if you have been together one month or ten years, communication is very important. I cannot imagine sitting through an entire meal and not saying anything. I had to wonder how they ended up together in the first place.
