Marry Now or After War?
She Is II and He Is 20

War Problem Clinic:
! am II years of age and I am
engaged TO a very nice young man
of 20. We have been going to-
gether steady for three years and
are deeply in love with each other.
He is now in the army. We had
planned 10 be married before he
left but then decided 10 wait iof
his first furlouGh
/ am not sure Of getting my
parents consent, as ! am not Is.
We wanted to be married by an
elder in our church, and unless We
get my parents consent, we would
have 10 be married secretly, or
.elopc
If We don't get my parents con.
sent, do you think il would be
wiser 10 wait until I'm Is, or until
after the war?
MISS ID. II.
Dear Miss ID. d.:
Many young people are faced
with your problem today. The
war makes YOU contemplate
marriage younger than perhaps
YOU would i'm normal times. We
understand your feeling about
this.
Your letter indicates conSid-
Grafton for your parents point
of view. Have YOU as family
been accustomed to COunseling
about family problems? Maybe
your parents will give consent
il YOU talk II over.
II YOU postpone marriage and
il your soldier should never re-
/ turn YOU might have some feel
ing against your parents for
having prevented the marriage.
| Can you take responsibility for
/ tine decision with no blame of
/ them-Or yours T. later"
Youth can often he surprisingly
wise in thinking things over and
reaching decisions. Also, par
ents can go much further than
young people realize, In under
standing the feelings Of their
/ children and planning with
them. We would expect from
your letter that you can work
this out with satisfaction to you
/ and 10 your parents.
Long years Of experience have
shown thatmany marriages of
young people below the legal age
and without the consent of par
/ ents have not been successful.
We have built up, therefore, In
Wayne County, a marriage prac-
tice which protects youth. There
are some places In adjoining
states where young people be-
low the marriage age Can get
married quickly. These places
are often called marriage
mills" and socially-minded citi-
ZenS are trying to eliminate
them a. fast as possible. We
doubt that YOU will want that
kind of marriage.
