Married Couples Need To Get
Away From Each Other--Together
BY RUTH

Sure, husbands and wives need
vacations from each other. u t
not in the manner usually advo-
Gated, where the husband takes a
two weeks cruise in the winter
and the wife goes off to a resort in
the summer.
What the average husband and
wife need are frequent vacations
from each other-together. In
other words, they need to get away
from the person each one knows
day in and day out-the person
who is nagged by work and re-
sponsibilities.
A job takes up SO much of
Papa's time and Junior takes up
so much of Mama's that the two
rarely see each other when they
are not tired, worried, and prob
ably short-tempered.
And they almost never have the
feeling of being really alone, real
ly carefree. There are neighbors
and relatives, and always the chill
dren, needing to be corrected and
locked-after.
A WEEKEND WILL
DO THE TRICK
The only way they can really
get away from their everyday,
Woodworking selves is to get clear
out of town, Go away for a week
end-if they only go fifty miles.
It's not financially possible for
every married couple to get away
for a day or two every two months
or so, but when it can be squeezed
into the budget, a couple ought to
plan on such short vacations, even
If it is at the expense of a really
long trip once a year.
Where they go or what they do
with their holidays after they get
there isn't important. The import
ant thing is for them to be off by
themselves, away from their
everyday routine.
If a couple could get away from
each Observation-Disclosures four
or five times a year it would help
them keep through the years the
I'VE two against the world" kind
of companionship they had when
they were first married. 3

My side of the story Of the ten

for the nine days that followed.
