A dullard and his girlfriend visit a marriage counselor after they want to get married at 18 and 19. The counselor brings out this contraption to show how far apart mentally they are through the phases of their life. Two dolls (one male, one female) are placed on a board at the base.

The path of the string indicates how far they are apart over time along the X axis. I'm sure it makes sense to him.
