Jack H We could be happy il it weren't for her parents and mine. . Jennifer H. My husband and I were married 13 years aao in Europe. He and other soldiers were quartered in the house my father owned. We fell in love and my parents approved our marriage, but they wanted us to live with them. Jack told my parents that his parents owned a store in the States and they needed him to help take care of it. He said I would have the best of every thing, so my parents finally con sented to my leaving. Well, I soon discovered noth ing was the way he said. His parents didn't own the store, but only rented it. We had to move in with his parents and they made me work for them in the store and house. I would have gone right home, but a baby was on the way. Jack kept saying things would get better, but they never did. We have three chil dren and my parents keep writ ing me to come home. We quar rel constantly and are very un happy, so I want to leave him. Jack H. I never really said my parents owned the store. I just said they needed my help in it. The store is really owned by an aged uncle who can't op erate it himself. We will get it when he dies, so even if I did say what Jennifer claims I said, it wasn't such a very big lie.

"He said I would have the best of everything," declares Jenni fer, believing this justifies her lack of active effort to create a happy home. Perhaps it has not occurred to her Jack may also have expected to have the best of everything, with her for a wife. From both accounts, she appears to have disappointed him brutally. Jennifer was probably a very young 17, filled with completely unrealistic dreams, when she married. She obviously has not matured from that point if she still looks towards her parents as the source of all happiness.' She should consider that, al though they may be able to pro vide her with a few more ma terial things, they can hardly fulfill her need for a husband, a home and a father for her children. Compared with what Jenny had in Europe when I was there, she has gotten the best of every thing. Her parents have been successful since the end of the war, but that's not my fault. They could send something along for the kids if they're such big shots. Sometimes I think Jenny and I could be happy if it were not for her parents and mine. It seems mine always say the wrong thing to her. Whenever she gets a letter from home, she cries for days. She was only 17 when she left and I guess she misses her parents a lot. She feels my parents don't like her, which in a way is true. They feel she has always high-hatted them. Tha Council Jennifer and Jack have buried themselves deep under a pile of petty griev ances and miseries and show little desire to make an active effort to dig themselves out. They appear to have no sense of responsibility toward the inno- On the other hand, Jack should realize his wife wouldn't be human if she didn't suffer from homesickness for her par ents. If he cannot promise her a visit home some time In the near future, he should try to get his parents to show her a little more sympathy and affection. Jenny would probably melt toward them if she received this kind of attention. Most important of all, Jenny and Jack should drop the petty recriminations that so seriously undermine their relationship. They should wipe the slate clean, and try to start anew like newly weds.
