City ft Stole - Pleaie Print or Writ legibly I Tired out from aa I vii Family Myths That These 10 beliefs are widely held and widely destructive THE OTHER day, one of my graduate students blurted out: "I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my marriage isn't going smoothly. Most married couples are unhappy, aren't they?" That's a myth, I said and a dan gerous one. Actually, the vast major ity of U.S. marriages are successful. The University of Michigan Sur vey Research Center recently inter viewed nearly 2,500 married persons representing a cross section of the nation's population. One out of three asserted he (or she ) was "very hap py," more than half said they were "pretty happy," and only one in 10 admitted being "not too happy." Another dangerous myth involves the statistic, "one out of four U.S. marriages ends in divorce." True, there are 400,000 divorces a year and 1,500,000 marriages. But the divorce figure must be considered in relation to the total number of married couples 40 million not the number married in one year. Thus probably no more than one out of 10 or 15 marriages eventually ends in divorce. Unfortunately, belief in the wide spread prevalence of divorce and "unhappy" marriages has led to a fatalistic approach to married life. Too many people believe that matri mony is n gamble and that they have to be lucky to stay wed. So, instead of committing themselves wholehearted ly to building a good marriage, they feel hopeless when conflicts occur. As an anthropologist, I detect a number of widely held concepts about family life that are so out moded or spurious that they should be classed as myths. Here are some of the most prevalent ones: A husband loses his masculine imue when he does a house wife's chores. Some months ago, I asked an audience of 300 Air Force reserv ists: "When you were a small boy, how many of you were put to bed by your father? No more than five hands went up. Then I asked those who were married and had children : l Family Weekly. June 24. 1962 ' r-. ? k. w ' ' . : If It VkVL J Jl. I Contrary to niylh, Dad isn't loss nioscuine "How many of you put your son or daughter to bed ?" All but two raised their hands. The point I wanted to make was that our culture is dynamic and that we are moving toward more and more partnership in the home. Con- cepts of the manly man and the womanly woman are no longer what they used to be. Today, sharing in household chores is an accepted part of being a husband. (y A working mother is hound to neglect her family. Of the 22 million women in the nation's work force, three out of five are married; and two of every five when he helps with kitchen chores. mothers who work have children at the school-age level. I firmly believe that a woman can be a good wife and mother while, holding down an outside job. Such a woman tends to compensate for the time she is away by being more at tentive when she is home. It's tho quality of the time spent with the family, not the quantity, that is more important. O Being "just a housewife" le ' p rives a woman of self-fulfillment in life. The American woman who is a full time homemaker has been subtly de valued over the years. A myth has Make Trouble By ETHEL J. ALPENFELS Professor of Anlhropology, New York University grown up that being "just a housewife" is unsatisfying because it does not permit a woman to utilize all her potential assets. Today's homemaker, however, does per form a vital creative role. The term, "pro fession: homemaker," is receiving more and more respect as women realize the satisfactions of maintaining an attractive, comfortable "nest" for their families. I Separation or divorce is always a ' eruel blow to children. If children are aware of bitter conflicts between their parents and if their home is barren of love, separation or divorce is likely to come as a relief to them. For a child, an empty marriage can be mure cruel than a broken home. On the other hand, divorce n come us a painful shock to children who have been kept in the dark concerning their parents' troubles. Shielding a child from such family problems relegates him to a world of his own. It may keep him psychologically secure for a time; but in the long run, it delays his maturing process and only makes it harder for him to adjust to the cold realities of life. CT When a family moves, the expe rienee is particularly difficult for the children. One out of five Americans moves each year, and the average family moves a total of eight times during the years they are together. But most children don't mind. Every survey indicates youngsters find moving an exciting adventure for a changing world is the only one they know. It is adults who are apprehensive about putting down new roots, and some times this sense of insecurity rubs off on their children. f. Boys should he taught that it's un manly to cry. Unthinking mothers still tell small boys: "Mother won't love you if you cry." This is a harmful attitude.Like any other human being, a boy must have an out let for his feelings. Training him to cork up emotions (frustration, anger, hate) that are disapproved may cause him to grow up into a warped, hostile adult. Even though venting an emotion through tears is considered a "female" trait, the truly masculine man in our society com bines certain sensitive feminine qualities with his masculinity. with Theodore Irwin A similar convention dictates that it isn't manly for a little boy to play with dolls. But boys grow up to be fathers and they, like girls, must be taught to love babies. When parents ridicule a small boy who occasionally wants to play with his sister's dolls, it may leave a lasting subconscious mark which later may keep him from becoming a devoted father. 7 Togetherness is essential for family life. good A married couple should share their joys and woes. But overdone. A woman exciting person if some activities not her family. And the true for husbands. togetherness can be is apt to be a more she participates in directly related to same principle holds O Marital relations are more impor taut to a husband than to his wife. That is a notion left over from the Victorian era. The truth is that, with certain exceptions, the average wife is just as interested in marital relations as her husband is. 9 Mothers-in-law are a menace to a happy marriage. Some mothers do interfere in their children's marriages, but by and large the extent of the intrusion is exaggerated. Unfortunately, the barrage of mother-in-law jokes intimidates some women so much that they abdicate their responsibili ties as grandparents. Gifts sent to grand children from a retirement town 1,000 miles away are not enough. The greatest gift that a grandmother can offer is her own presence. 10 Jealousy among brothers sisters is normal. Extreme sibling rivalry is an Ameri can product fostered by parents. As a result of our overcompetitive drives, this disruptive influence is now at its height. In many other countries, there is little rivalry among children in a family. For instance, a boy in India is expected to guide his sister, not compete with her. Just the opposite is too often true in this country, and it can endanger family life. The same is true of believing in the other marriage myths I have discussed. When stereotyped thinking lingers and parents neglect to keep pace with modern trends, needless family tensions result.
