THE
Problems of the
Wartime Marriage
PARENTS can do a great deal
L to keep their children from
drifting Into unhappy marriages,
if they will start early enough
In the work of making and main
taining a true home.- The borne
is the place of peace and con
tentment and of preparation for
busy, successful, and happy lives.
If children are brought up to re
gard their own home as some
thing sacred, as a place where
happiness and sanctuary from the
outside world may always be
found, these same children . will
work to establish new homes of
the same sort.
Our great-grandmothers were
taught that marriage was the only
career for a woman, and they
were made to feel that a wed
ding ceremony was. the great
goal toward which every girl was
born to move. The modern girl
is taught to look upon her indi
vidual career and material suc
cess in that career as the only
goal toward which an intelligent
woman can move, and on mar
riage as a side dish at the ban
quet. ' - ' '. , ,r;
Tho girl whom you wish to save
from a possible heartache and the
tragedy of divorce should be
brought up to' steer a middle
course- somewhere between the
old-fashioned idea and the-now
one. Marriage, home, and chil
dren tit 111 constitute the ideal ca
reer for a woman. They always
will. Let her have the career
and the profession if she wants to
as a side line. Certainly she
should know the happiness of
work and the pleasures of inde
pendence, both for herself and for
her children. But she should be
taught that in a home and in
children she will find her truest
happiness, and the first require
ment in that Instruction Is a be
lief In tho dignity of the home,
i
rpHE mating Instinct continues
In wor as it docs in peace. But
the war marriage raises many
problems.
Tho young couplo marrying In
-time are obsessed with the
wrong kind of time Uio fleeting
moments allowed them before the
man receives his orders to go
abroad. The time that is going to
count in the war marriage, as in
any other, is the long time ahead.
If they are to bo happy together
thon, they must stop now to weigh
their feeling for each other, their
knowledge of each other. '
At n time when life Is hectic
and uncertain, when tho future
secma problematical, it is easy to
forget that the day must come
when the couplo who has mar
ried so frenziedly will have to
settle down to a world at peace.
When thut day comes and the
marriage faces its real test, it will
be tho marriage with tho fewest
obstacles to hurdle which will
have the best chance of survival
and happiness. Then the uniform
will be gone and the hysteria of
war. Tho stranger will be a hus
band. If his interests and tastes,
his culture and sense of values,
his attitude toward life, his re
ligion and ills background are
similar to his wife's, they will
have a fair opportunity of coming
out oil right. '
But if they ignored these "dif
ferences when they got married
in haste, if they knew each other
so little that they did not even
discover what the other was like,
they are headed for trouble. Tho
faith of people getting married
that "it will come out all right"
Is like a savage's faith in black
magic. You magnify the quali
ties you like and ignoro the quali
ties you dislike. But marriage is
n long aftair and the habits that
you disregord now cannot be dis
regarded when you are married.
You arc not going to change
the person you marry Into some
one else you approve of. You arc
going to have to adjust yourself
to the kind of person ho Is. Mar
rlago con bring out your best
qualities but it will Inevitably
bring out the worst too. Stop
and think of these things before
you rush In haste to tho license
bureau.
