A Strange Relationship

I am not entirely sure of what the main plot line is or who the main characters really are, but I am sure of one thing: the relationship between Frank and April is one unlike any other. Frank is a hardworking man in an extremely dull job who is always wanting a more exciting life. April is a striving actress who brings the drama both on and off stage. While both of them yearn for more adventure, they constantly fight rather than work together to make their lives better. Every other page, the couple gets into an outrageous argument that is far from healthy. Frank drinks until he is sick, and he hits April and basically anything that is around him. April screams so loudly that you would think she is dying, but then she goes into a very passive-aggressive state and bottles up all of her anger. The reader can never truly know when she will blow.
Normally this would seem like just a sad, abusive relationship, but there is probably more love between Frank and April than between most other couples. Frank and April both share the same dream and want to get out of the same life, but they just cannot seem to channel their energies into a positive outcome. Moreover, every time that they get into a fight, all Frank wants is to hold and love April. He tries to reason with her and make amends all because he is so in love with her, but she won't seem to listen. April's character is much more complex, but I know that she has lots of love towards her husband. So despite the drinking, beating, anger, and estrangement, they do have a huge amount of love for one another, and I think that this is what makes them an epic couple.
