Line block padding issues over text

 Hello, I made this index page with the following code to achieve this nice look. But by doing so, the padding of the text block and the line overlap and I can't click on the hyperlinked texts on the live site. Could anyone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

@media screen and (min-width:641px) {
.sqs-block-horizontalrule {margin-top:-50px !important; margin-bottom:-50px !important;} 
}
