Overcoming Difficulties
That Lead to Divorce
ATARRIAGE is never finished.
The lesson Is never learned.
The effort Is never at an end.
Marriage, like life, la a matter of
solving the little things. The big
ones generally take care of them
selves. It Is a matter of sur
rendering small personal prefer
ences. At luncheon, a friend of mine

was speaking about his summer
vacation.
"Where did you go?" I asked.
"To the shore, as usual."
"But I thought you hated the
ocean."
"I do,"' he admitted, "but my
wife loves it. All winter long she
does the things I want to do, goes
to the places I like, sees the peo
ple I prefer. It seems only fair
that I should give up something
for her in the summer."
It Is a curious paradox that to
day, in some ways, wide social
developments are being formu
lated, outstripping progress in
personal development We are
learning step by step (taking the
lessons of the Depression and of
the Second World War to heart)
that Individual rights must yield
place at times to group rights,
and that the result is not an end to
freedom, It is meroly a wider ap
plication of the term.
The some thing holds true of
marriage. A tenacious holding
onto individual rights leads to
separation; a judlcipus yielding of
personal rights and tastes and
preferences leads to union.
Many divorces. I am convinced,
come about because people decide
to go their own way not because
they are not fond of one another,
but because they are so eager for
freedom. "I'll go my way and
you go yours." It sounds like a
practical idea. But it will not
work. People grow together only
by learning to fuse their interests'.
If they keep their interests far
opart, they ure bound to grow for
apart and to find, at length, that
they have nothing in common at
all.
UO many times, the woman takes
life and her husband for
granted. She becomes sloppy, un
interested, and uninteresting. Her
husband, meanwhile, either forges
ahead or falls behind. He can
not stay in the same place. If ha
Is going ahead, he is developing,
competing with other men, his in
terests are keen and varied. At
his side arc women working in
business, nlert. well-groomed, and
making him feel that he is impor
tant and interesting whether he
is or not. ' ; ' - ' i
To go he i -..J ."...J nis wife
badly dressed, careless, not caring
what he has been doing, riot try
ing to understand, gives the other
woman all the breaks.
The woman, of course, Is not
always the one at fault. The hus
band, too, begins to take things
for granted. He who wos so
eager to appear at his best before
the girl he wanted to morry, for
gets to ask her to go places. After
all, he has given her a home,
hasn't he? He forgets to pay her
little compliments, to notice how
she looks. Small wonder if she
loses interest in her appearance.
It is not easy, In the Intimacy
of dally life, to keep attractive.
Many marriages flounder into sor
did routine because no effort is
made to keep one's less attractive
aspects hidden. A woman who
flaunts a cold-creamed face, hair
curlers, and a chin strap may
look attractive In public, but she
hns destroyed romance in her own
home, where it is more important
This is one reason why each indi
vidual should be able to have
privacy in his own home. '
Spiritual privacy, by the way,
is as essential as physical privacy.
Divorce is a problem which can
not be evaded in any discussion
of marriage, but divorce itself can
often be evaded as I have
learned in many years of work
ing out these matters with un
happy couples by a clear under
standing of the difficulties and
mutual good will in attempting to
overcome them.
