AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF FAMILY RELATIONS, 5287 Sunset Boulevard, Los Anjeles 2, California. The Most Dangerous Year of Marriage The most dangerous year of marriage, according to statistics, is the first. During this year couples either build a foundation for permanent happiness, or be gin a descent toward marital ruin. A recent survey shows that half of all marital failures occur in the first five years. A. quarter of the divorces fall in the the United States during the first two years. But perhaps this fact is even more tragically signifi cant. Even if the marriage con tinues beyond the dangerous "first year," a foundation for di vorce and unhappiness may have been laid during this critical period. A glamorous and exciting courtship may end abruptly and rudely with the demands of a new marriage and its down-to- earth needs. Some couples are unprepared to accept this new, and to them, brutal reality. Small difficulties mushroom into great ones, which in turn lead eventu ally toward the divorce court: - The American Institute of Family Relations, oldest mar riage counseling service in the 3 BIG JOBS! f FEEDS your lawn slowly yet i . i j -j completely lor gooa root ana ivumnt hlaHp cmuth in th spring.

OHic af S.ak I lnstm Trie CALIFORNIA SPRAY-CHEMICAL CORP. I Friday, May II, 1958 United States, suggests eight basic rules for newlyweds, which will aid them in weathering that dangerous first year: Rules Given 1. Admit and recognize your first-year difficulties, :yvhen they occur: this is half of their solu tion. Don't think that you are the only couple who have ever had conflicts or that your prob lems are unique. 2. Seek competent help if your sex life is not satisfactory. 3. See your in-laws, but avoid a fixed pattern of contact: visit them as you would FRIENDS, when you WANT to see them. 4. Cultivate hobbies and in terests, but don't think that all your projects have to be alike. It is all right to be different! 5. Treat your marriage as a partnership, hot as a contest of wills or dictatorship. 6. Work out a realistic budget and stick to it. 7. Forget grievances: "getting even" has no place in a good marriage. . ' 8. Expect trouble: meet it courageously and solve- it ob jectively, point ' by point. Re member, the, most dangerous year of marriage is the first! But don't let it throw ydu. A couple who have come through their first year success fully can feel that the worst is over. They have made adjust ments, many- of them painful, but they have also laid a firm foundation for married happi ness for the rest of their lives.
