In Fahrenheit 451, describe the relationship between Montag and his wife.

Man, is this relationship bad!  I am struck by how
intensely bad, yet seemingly normal the relationship is between Guy and Millie.  I think
that things between them are fine, so long as Status Quo is completely embraced and
never questioned.  When Guy starts to question his own reality and the surrounding
system of which he and Mildred are a part, we begin to see challenge in their
relationship.  Millie wants things to go back to "the way things were," and Guy is
committed to exploring the new consciousness that he has adopted.  At the same time, the
distance that was probably latent between them emerged into a mammoth sized rift between
them.  This distance essentially sees them as married, but really having little
connection, if any.  Guy pursues his own life with his new understanding and Millie
takes an overdose of sleeping pills as her way of "dealing" with hers.  The really
fascinating, and scary, element about their relationship is that as Guy develops as a
character in the novel, we see little in way of emotion about the relationship he shared
with Mildred.  It's almost as if it has been airbrushed out of his emotional memory,
making it a really unhealthy relationship in my mind.  As he pursues his own new
understanding about himself and the world, it seems that this "political" aspiration and
exploration supplants all else, even a relationship in the private.  Montag uses her
overdose as a political element, surmising that there was something odd about the
nonchalant way her caretakers dismissed her actions.  At this, we can see how the
political has subsumed the private in Montag's mind.
