query in all seriousness, "Do all mar.
ried couples quarrel?" He goes on to
state: MY brother and his wife live
in u constant state Of warfare. My
partner and his spouse find existence
together intolerable. He sleeps on the
roof In summer and In the cellar in
winter time.
MY best friend married a girl in
whom he reposed the utmost conf.
dence. Quite as . as they returned
from their two weeks honeymoon she
played her first card, turning a trick
on him that nearly lost him his bust
ness game. In other words, she turned
off his st%enographer because she was
middling young and good looking, caus-
Ing two of his other young women
clerks to follow suit.
Our family physician, who was a
bachelor like myself, braved fate and
took unto himself a wife, eschewing
young girls for the sake of a sensible
widow. His patients for the most part
were women-folk. She has shooed
them all away, and he has applied to
me for a position as %bookkeeper, clerk,
night notwithstanding to carr a
living independent Of womankind.
THE young policeman who welded
recently has a hard time keeping out
of jail, which place his bride declares
she will land him the next time they
engage In either fist or tongue battle.
All these examples make q timid,
unmarried man quite fearful Of the pit
falls In the path Of matrimony. |
therefore ask you the honest question,
DO all welded couples quarrel?"
make haste to answer this query,
assuring this bachelor that quarrels
among married folk, by all that | can
see or hear or can aver learn by tale or
history Ito quote our learned Shake
.speare), are really the exception-not
the rule.
Where a man or woman has entered
into wedlock because the one or the
other had wealth such couples vent
their disappointment in upbraidings,
sarcasm, unkind words or deeds.
When they realize they have missed
happiness and all that might have
been had they welded for love only.
1t takes two to quarrel. A man should
not rush blindly into the marital yoke.
He should choose a wife with profound
wisdom. He should be- certain that he
gets a %congenial mate, and be careful
not to ROT her to jealousy. The
most quiet Of women may develop a
streak of jealousy that can produce a
nationwide disturbance If goaded into
1t by the man she loves.
do not believe las far as I can dis
cover) that there is a married couple
who do not have differences of opinion
on many subjects nov and then. Their
good Judgment tells them they must de-
fer to the wisdom Of each other now
and then, which they do g~raciously
and good humoredly.
Ere the argument becomes q bitter
fusillade of angry r%etorts, the wise
husband or wife resorts to silence or
the room. quietly avoiding the
quarrel. Temperament should be
studied by both during courtship.
Sweethearts who bicker and fall out"
with each other over trifles should not
wed-they will have q stormy married
life II they do, A sweet-tempered,
lovaSle woman abhors either uttering
or listening to angry words. Where
two hearts love truly, the couple will
be so devoted to each other that a
blow directed st one heart cruelty
wounds both. Where real affection be-
tween a married couple exists quarrel
Ing Is unknown. Choose the right one
and married life will be a blessing di.
