Dear Jane Jordan-I am a man twice
divorced. I still believe that the best
chance for happiness lies in marriage.
in spite OF my signal failures to realize
it. My father and my mother were
mated ideally as were my. grandparents
to be. It looks to me like there are
more unhappy marriages today than
there an used What to o Duo y Upon Of V Se
cause of the increase of unhappy
marriages? GRASS WHOEVER
Dear Grass Widower-People to-
day are more acutely conscious of
unhappiness in marriage than they
used to be. The decrease of the
odium that attaches to divorce
makes them less resigned to spend
ing thier lives with a disappoint-
ing partner, when easy escape is
possible.
Freer social and business relations
between men and women have
made it easier for persons to find
companions who outshine a hus-
band or a wife who has proved
unsatisfactory Many man would
be living with his wife today, rea-
sonably content, if he had not
CHANGED to meet woman whose
charms were greater, and vice
versa.
The more highly differentiated
we become the more our tastes and
interests differ, the harder it is to
find a companion who fits into our
scheme of things. Persons with
varied pursuits require partners
capable of following them with
lively interest, and naturally are
disappointed when such interests
fail to hold up after the honey
moon. The more complex people
become, the harder it is to find
happiness in marriage.
1t is easy to see that if every
woman were more or less like her
sisters, there would be nothing more
for men to search for. Or If there
were only shade of difference be-
tween men, woman would tend
to be satisfied with what she has,
since there was nothing better to
hope for.
These are only few of the diff
f1culties in the way of modern mar
rage. Possibly our parents and
grandparents made as many mis-
takes as we do, but did not make
so much fuss about their frustra-
tons.
Here are some letters that our
readers have written to each other.
