Is Marriage a Success?

This Is my prescription for happy
married life-I don't say I'll prac-
tice what l preach, but everybody's
entitled to their theories, aren't
they?
In the first place II is q great
honor for man to ask you to
share his name. and 1t will remain
an honbr provided he Is the right
kind OF a man. But IL he is a little
bad, don't try to reform him. When
he gets a little irritated send him
away for two weeks unbegrudginR-
ly. Let him join his bachelor
friends and have a vacation from
married life for a while, and he'll
appreciate the married life all the
more because he isn't bound to 1t.
Don't try and bottle him up when
he's mad. There's something awful
ly comforting In hearing a man
swear occasionally-when he means
it, And don't thrust the children
at him morning, noon, and night.
Remember he was your sweetheart
before he was their father, and he
married you for the girl you used
to be. not the woman you've de-
veloped into. He never knew her
before.
Remember he's entitled to some
OF your time. Remember when
things go wrong that he's q dear
old crouch, and you love him II
he does impossible things, remem-
Der it's your naggins that probably
aggravates him. Never. never
most important of all-never lose
your sense Of humor.
OF course, II he Ia worse than
merely on your nerves. and IL not
the right sort of man. you can do
nothing to make life happy for you
together. But that is you fault.
too. for when you married him you
should have said. could love him
just as dearly II he lost his front
hair? So be mighty careful to be
terribly in love when you marry.
and when you do hope to next
