Why I Oppose
The War Marriage
TJEFORE the war marriage Is
performed, there are four
questions which should be con
sidered and answered honestly:
1. Do you really fctioio each
other?
2. Have you similar bach
(irounds and interests?
3. Are you both really in love?
4. Does the girl realize (hat
when her husband returns he may
be a stranycr to her?
The war marriage Is too often
regarded as little more than a
fleeting gesture of affection for a
boy who is leaving to fight for his
country. This Is very far from
being the case. In actual practice,
there is nothing fleeting about the
war marriage. True, it is growing
easier and easier for a man In
the armed forces to marry. Many
state legislatures have abolished
the wailing period between license
and ceremony, for the purpose of
accommodating the boys and In
consideration for their short
leaves. But it is almost impossible
to divorce a serviceman. The
Federal Government, to protect
his interests, has decreed that his
wife cannot divorce him. what
ever the provocation, without his
co-operation. In other words, the
war marriage, which is being
entered into with so little thouuht.
Is Hid hardest kind of marriage
from which to escape.
7ATARRIAGE is to continue "in
sickness and in health." Girls
nro apt to forgot that when they
marry impulsively. They are all
intelligent enough to know that 1
tnolr husbands may bo killed In
battle. What they do not con
sider is that he may be wounded
maimed, that the life tliov
have planned together mav bo
altered beyond all expectation.
The wife must understand that,
whatever the circumstances. It la
licr job to remain with her husband.
Of course, this, like so manv of
the problems of the war marriage,
Is merely a peacetime problem
Intonf!'- " "ro is no mirh
thing as safety In the modern
world. Indeed, there has never
been such a thing in human life.
But why, then, people ask, do
you oppose the war marriage? I
oppose the war marriage as a
rule there are always excep
tions, of course because It lacks
so many of the requirements of
an enduring marriage.
It is performed in haste, often
with little knowledge on either
side. In peacetime there is a
chance for adjustment. In war
time there is little or none.
The man is sent away to new
lands and new people and new
and often overwhelming experi
ences. The woman remains be
hind, alone, not sharing those ex
periences. Instead of a close link
being forged between them, a
gulf is dug, across which it will
ako infinite patience and intelli
gence and good will to build a
bridge.
There is also the emotional
problem of separation. A girl has
been awakened physically by
marriage and then Is left alone.
This is not only a source of un
happincss but frequently a source
of danger
In the last war, n young couple
married just before he was
shipped to France. He returned,
impatient to see his wife, eager
o go home and begin nt last their
ife together. The girl met him
at the pier but not as he ex
pected. When he took her in his
arms, she drew away from him
coolly.
What's the matter?" he asked
n surprise.
"I have not been true to you."
:he said. "1 am sorry to let you
down like this, but I can't help
it. It is impossible for us to go
on with our marriage. I want a
livorce as soon ns possible." '
"Hut you can t do this, lie said.
You can't do this." His voico
ose. "1 11 Kill tbe man."
Hut he did not kill the other
man. The next day ho shot and
tiled himself.
