In our early years of marriage we often spent Shabbos at my husband’s Rebbie’s house (this person was his Rebbie in High School – Mesivta, and my husband maintained a close kesher with him. He and his wife, used to sit next to one another in arm chairs, at the long side of the table further from the entrance to the dining room. I thought it a very nice way of doing things, and now being a Bubby, I still think so.
