marriage Of all its beauty
mo, it's you who are robbing
marriage OF its beauty. My plan
would make marriage free and
honest"
"Then you think ! ought to
hand him over to her"
You're not handing him over.
He isn't yours to hand. He's
handing himself over. Moreover,
YOU cant tell whether she's going
to hurt him or not. Maybe she'll
bring out the best in him as you
have never done. Maybe her very
carelessneSs will give him the
sense of responsibility he needs"

That's selfish domination. It's as
cruel as a straight jacket and as
deadly to growth. It's profanity
to call that love. II you loved
Earl, you'd let him go to meet his
own destiny just like a good
mother lets her child go out to
meet life"
but you can't do that in mar
riage."
You mean we DON'T do that
in marriage. We CAN do it.
And we SHOULD do it. If you'd
had that attitude toward Earl in
the first place you never would
have lost him. From the very
first you've tried to manage him
and mold him into your ideal.
You haven't been noisy about it,
but the result has been just as
bad. Every healthy, proud in"
stinct has risen up in revolt
against it. He may come an aw-
full cropper, now that he has
broken away, but at least he'll
feel that he is his own master
And there's the secret of many
broken marriages. We don't give
the other fellow his chance to live
his life in his own way. It's
bound to fail. You can't buck
