YOUR most dangerous rival
Il in your husbands affec-
tons is not a blonde; it's his
ego. By the same token,
mans most dangerous rival in
his wife's affections is her ego.
1 am not speaking of people
with abnormal egos, but Of the
sane, normal, common or gar
den variety of husbands and
wives. And lovers.
If two nice people who want
10 go on loving each other would
keep constantly reminding
themselves that they are not
only welded in flesh and spirit,
but have also that unknown,
sensitive thing TO deal with
a brand-new ego-marriages
would not be so brittle.
Trying TO take the ego out
OF a man or a woman is like
taking the wag out Of a dog S
tail. 1t leaves him purposeleSs.
Yet, that is sometimes the first
thing we do and that's what
leads TO all the battles.
