Communication is Key!
Illustration★★★★In an issue of House to House Allen Webster included the following story. A woman went to court and told the judge she wanted a divorce. “Do you have any grounds?” the judge asked. “Just two acres,” she replied. “That’s not it lady. I mean to you have a grudge?” “No, we park the car in front of the house,” she said. Frustrated the judge said, “Does your husband beat you up?” She responded, “No, I get up before he does.” “Then why do you want a divorce?” the judge concluded. “Because,” she said, “we just don’t seem to be able to communicate.”

The point
Humorous courtroom misunderstandings where wife's answers reveal they cannot communicate—illustrating that shared ground matters less than ability to understand one another.
