Grow in Understanding,
Even When You Are Apart
T'HE hardest rule for the war
brifc is, "Try to grow in under
standing with your husband, even
when you are apart."
The thing that will bring these
war marriages closer together
than anything else is letters. John
Steinbeck reported, after visiting
the various war sectors, "One
good letter can make the differ.
ence between a good soldier and
a sick man." Some soldiers, he
said, worried so much about their
affairs at home, either because
they had received the wrong kind
of letters or none at all, that they
had to be put in the hospital.
An American woman who did
heroic work in France after its
surrender, visiting 70 German
prison camps to assist the French
prisoners, said that a letter from
home, a tangible proof that he
was not forgotten, an assurance
that he was remembered and
loved, was like a tonic to a pris
oner. It lifted his morale sky
high. And the lilting or one man's
morale, she observed, lifted the
morale of an entire prison camp
as nothing else could.- Proof that
one man was not ' forgotten
aroused hopes in the others, that
they, ' too, were remembered, by
someone. That is what one letter
can do) ,
"Blessed are letters they are
the monitors," wrote Donald
Grant Mitchell. . "They are also
the comforters and they are the
only true heart-talkers." .
'THAT is why a letter from home
Is the most cherished of a sol
dier's possessions. But they must
be cheerful letters, filled with the
little tilings that make up a day's
happenings the little things that.
If he were home, he would talk
and laugh about with his wife at
; the dinner table. A letter to a
soldier is not the place for record
ing fears and anxieties and wor
ries. He has enough of his own,
land he is helpless to take care of
'those at home.
There are so' many tountless
ways of filling a letter with laugh
Iter and good cheer, with love and
courage, with hope and plans for
tlie future. ,;.
. There are also countless letters
not to write: the letter that com
plains about trilling hardships at
home; the letter that carries wor
ries about the health or : the
finances of the family; the letter
that suys, "I know you don't mind
my going out with other men,
I'm so lonely"; the letter that be
gins, "Now that you are gone, I
find that it was all a mistake,, and
that I am not really in love with
you."
"The only true heart-talkers!"
Two people who have been mar
ried in wartime, by talking hon
estly and loyally from the heart,
explaining what they are, , what
they think and believe, can ac
quire a profound knowledge of
each other. Understanding can be
lost, and is lost overy day, by peo
ple who live side by side. It can
grow and ripen and develop when
they are thousands of miles apart.
QNE of the first acts of adjust
ment to marriage, whether the
couple are together or apart,, is to
plan together the kind of life
they want. No livable house was.
ever built without n blueprint, no'
successful life without a design.
The number of happy mar
riages can bo increased when peo
ple plan their lives as they plan
their days, knowing what they
want, what they must do to ac
complish it, and how to go about
it. Unhupplncss is often the re
sult of a lack of Intelligence in
dully living. Boredom and fail
ure are often the result of a kind
of mental inertia which prevents
us from developing all sides of
our personality and opening the
locked doors of adventure. But
no ono ever unlocked those doors
without a key, and the key to
them all is a realistic plan for
your marriage and for the future.
If it is not unreasonable to hope
lliat world planning will soon bo
under way, surely it is not un
easiinablo to chart the course
or two lives.
