[ WP ] When two people fall in love , they receive an object that is the physical embodiment of that love . It changes as their feelings change towards each other and destroying it can have drastic consequences . How does this change the nature of relationships ?

Mary and Horace were in tears when they were handed the embodiment of their love. It was beautiful, they agreed. It seemed they agreed on everything. 
 
 When the two decided to get married, it grew in size. When Horace got promoted and brought home more money, it grew even more. 
 
 Always it grew, even when Horace got laid off and started drinking. Even when Mary could n't stand being with her husband and started sleeping with other men. 
 
 But, they stayed together for it. No matter how dire the situation, Mary and Horace never left the other's side. Without money and without love, they still had it. They *only* had it. That was the one thing they still agreed on. 
 
 Though they could n't stand each other, they went through the pain for it. 
 
 It grew because of their love. Not of each other, but their love for it. 
 
 And so Daniel Jackson grew up, son of a drunk man and an unfaithful woman. But he reached adulthood. 
 
 He did n't make it because of money or a home. He had neither. 
 
 He made it because of an undying love from two unloved people.
