E. M. 81 have been married
for z years. We married quite
young and are the parents of 3
Children. Two years Of this
marriage was wonderful but the
other has been full of heart
breaks and disappointments. He
started running with different
girls. When I got close behind
him he said he wouldn't quit
them. But now, l don't hear SO
much about him and his girls
l wonder if he has one but is
less open with 1t? wish to
know If he loves me and the
children and what TO expect.
Ans: He, like another maynard
husband. found that It wasn't as
exciting as he thought to live a
double life, and always on the
chase. In his case the glamour
has practically worn off. This is
the strategic moment for you to
act but act wisely if you want to
entice him back to your own
fireside. Let bygones be bygones
and never refer to the past and
his philandering. Be affection
ate. patient and more under
standing with hise about all
things. You two should plan
more outside activity and diver
slons together Learn to do and
enjoy the things that ne likes
best. Some men have to be
amused continuously if they are
to keep a lively interest in their
home and family and il is up to
you, the wife to stimulate this
interest
