Compromises in Married Life.

II marriage meant the marriage of
a saint and an angel there would be
no problems to solve, no perfection to
attain, no progress to make. This may
be why there are no marriages in
heaven. On earth, it is different; hus-
band and wife are strongly human.
No matter how lovingly united or how
sweet their accord, they never have
the same temperaments, tendencies or
tastes, their needs are different. their
manner of looking at things is not
Identical, and in varying ways their
Municipalities assert themselves. At
any critical moment if both express at
the same time, a desire to defer to the
others taste, the result is foreordain-
ed for happiness. This makes matri-
mony not merely union. but unison and
unity. The spirit Of compromise does
not mean a continuous performance in
the way of self-Surrender and self
sacrifice; it does not mean ceasing to
be a voice and becoming an echo; it
does not imply or justify the loss Of
Individuality; it can simply the in
Stinctive recognition Of the best way
out of a difficulty, the quickest tack
ing to avoid a collision, the kindly
view Of tolerance in the presence Of
weakness and errors of another, the
courage to meet an explanation half
way, the generosity to be first to
apologize for a discord, the largeness
