There has been so much talk
about the sixth marriage that ends
in divorce that women today 60 into
marriage without the feeling of Sc
curity they should have to be happy.
Maybe it is time for women to do
a little thinking about the five mar
riages that last.
After all, five times more mar.
riages succeed than fail. And it
won't hurt the new wife to keep
that in mind.
Then she won't run the risk of
trying SO hard to make a success
Of her marriage-that she never has
time to let down and enjoy what she
has at the moment.
In consequence she'll be a better
wife.
For no man is going to enjoy
coming home to a wife who is so
bound and determined to make her
marriage work out that she is afraid
something is wrong all the time half
as much as he would enjoy coming
home to a girl who is untroubled
