Modern. MARRIAGE
Wife Should Not Be Much
Older Than Her Husband
Ry DR.. Paul Popenoe

Let's not argue about it, Mrs.
'B.-let's just consider the results.
You think marriages would be
happier If the wife were consid-
erably older than the husband.
I don't.
7 agree that there are such
happy marriages. I have known
many. One that comes to mind
Immediately was that of a college
professor. married to a woman
20 years his senior. He was a
bookish recluSe who needed a

fairs. Of course they had no chill
dren-and that's not the ideal in
marriage.
But let's consider the ordinary
results. in cases where the wife
is. we'll say. 10 years older than
the husband. I'll name just few:
/. The wife's collaborating period
is excessively shortened. She bears
and rears her children less sue
cessfully. That's a bad thing for
all concerned.
2. BY middle-age, the wife looks
very much older than her hus-
band. That is often found to be
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1950-09-24

| embarrassing. It is not pleasant
for a wife to be taken for her
husbands mother! In many in
stances, she becomes defensive;
begins to worry for fear her hus-
band will find some younger and
more attractive women. The diff
ference in age may have been
entirely satisfactory to both when
they were first married. After 20
years. both Of them may secretly
or unconsciously regret it.
8. 1t tends to produce a wife
dominated marriage instead of a
real partnership on $3.50 basis.
My studies of thousands of mar
riages show that the average hap
piness of wife dominated mar
riages is only about one-half as
great as that of $3.50 partner
ships. Usually the wife, even
more than the husband, is dis
satisfied that she didn't get a hus-
band whom she could look up to
and admire. A marriage which is
definitely dominated is also
likely to be a bad influence on
the children. Both boys and girls
grow up having less respect and
admiration for their father, and
therefore for men in general.
There are plenty Of other diff
ficulties that I won't take time
to mention, Mrs. B.. but these
three seem to me to be very real
and very common. don't say
they are universal. The marriages
that you have seen may have
worked out well. And of course
I agree that one woman may be
in many important respects 10l
years younger than her calendar
age. While a man may be 10 or
20 years older than he ought to
be!
But as general considerations.
just take the three points have
mentioned. What do you say
about them? |

Maintaining Of Peace
Is Primary Objective,
|Adenauer Declares
BY the Associuied Press

| BONN, Germany, Dec. 25.-In
a Christmas broadcast to the
nation, West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer today declared
the maintenance of peace is the
primary aim of his government.
However" he added, there are
situations when even the peace
full must gather their forces and
prepare their hearts for the de-
fense of the values of life against
a threatening attack" :"
Maintenance of Existence.
In obvious reference to the Al
lied proposal for German military
contributions to West European
defense, DR.. Adenauer said:
1T is the natural right of the
individual, as of peoples, to main
tain his own existence and to
safeguard it. The federal govern
ment would be acting irrespon-
sibly if it should not defend this
right and stand for 1t Jointly
with other loving nations. I"
Chancellor Adenauer has sup
ported German participation in
West European defense, but has
demanded that his country be &C
|cepted as an equal partner with
the Allies and be freed OF oceupa-
ton controls before 1t takes up
arms.
Calls for Unity.
In an apparent appeal to the
Socialist opposition party. which
has been bitterly opposing German
Erearmament, Dr.. Adenauer said
AL parties ,yhich want to con-
solidate our state must realize that
in times of danger all the people
must stand firmly and closely to-
'gether in order to survive"
Talks between West German
government representatives and
the three occupying Allies will be-
gin soon to work out a plan for
German troops.
The chancellor pledged his gov
ernment to work for the unifica-
tion of the German nation-split
now between the Russian-occupied
East and the Allied-occupied West.
But he reiterated that a basic
condition of this unification must
be the provision for free and
democratic elections throughout
the country"

5000 WORLD WAR II VETS
STUDYFING OVERSEAS

More than 5000 World War II
veterans are studying under the
CT. Bill in As foreign countries, a
Veterans Administration survey
reveals. Half the veterans are TAX
ing training in the humanities and
social sciences, and the remainder
are enrolled in wide variety of
courses ranging from architecture
to theology.
France, Canada and Mexico had
about half of ell the American
veteran-students, the VA said.
Other countries with sizeable vet
eran enrollments We're Great Brit
ain, Italy. Switzerland and Aus
traha.
The remainder of the CT. Bill
trainees were scattered elsewhere
throughout the world from Sweden
South Africa and from Ireland
to Israel. None was in training be-
hind the Iron Curtain.
Veterans taking CT. Bill train
ing overseas generally are re-
quired to have a working knowl-
edge of the language of the coun-
try in which they are studying,
since very little classroom work is
carried on in English. Training is
limited to classroom studies only.
Before veterans apply to the VA
for foreign training, they should
correspond well in advance with
the school in which they seek adj
mission. outlining their education
al background and familiarity with
the language. Only after the school
has accepted them should they APP
ply to the VA.
