One reason that unhappy welded
couples are so bitter is because there Is
mingled with the disappointment the
painful recollection and realization that
they have themselves to blame for the
blunder they have made. In this en-
lightened day people are not pushed un-
willingly into matrimony by cruel
parents. The woman chosen does not
have to say yes unless she wants to.
So each knows that mutual unhappiness
and establishment are reflections upon
his or her powers OF discernment and
Judgment. Therefore the hurt rankles
more than It would otherwise.
