He hasn't spok en to me in three months . Joseph C. All she talks about is leaving me. lsabe-1 C. After World War II. having been left a widow with a 16-month-old son, I married Joe. We were both aware of the two strikes r gainst the marriage that 1 didn't love him and that he was 20 years older than I. Iv'ow we have an 8-ycar-old daughter, but our home is no real home for her and I wish I had the courage to break it up. Joe has as little to do with me and our child as possible. I can count on my fingers how many times we have spoken to each other in the 17 years we've been married. He comes home, has his meals, sleeps and goes out again. At present we haven't spoken to each olhrr for three months. His present silence is because 1 brought up the subject of getting a job and getting away from him. Why go on living together this way? Joseph C. I knew Isabel and I couldn't have a perfect marriage, but I had hoped she would try to make a pleasant home for me. I had never had a happy home. My mother died when I was a baby and I grew tip in relatives' fam ilies and in an orphan asylum. Even so. I took care of my sick father and up lo last year, when he died at the age of 91, I'd supported him in an expensive nursing home. But I didn't want to end up that way myself and 1 married Isabel to have my own home. I gave her and her baby a home, too. I'm no talker. Ask anybody. And I'm certainly no talker when Isabel starts lacing into me about what a terrible hus band and terrible father I am If she was leaving mc, she should have done so long ago. Now, with old age facing me. is no time to talk this way. - The Council: "I didn't love him," There again is that poor battered word "love" on w hich the ashes of this marriage are heaped. Yet a prominent mar riage counselor insists that love isn't as important to suc cess in marriage as "liking." Isabel and Joseph must have liked each other 17 years ago. What happened? We suspect that the spectre of failure loomed so heavily from their wedding day on they were probably so con vinced that the marriage was doomed to be a humdrum en durance test that neither of them put any real effort into turning liking to loving. It lakes effort, even for those who start off with "loads of love." Because the love of a Golden Anniversary pair who have "worked on" their mar riage is quite different from the love of an infatuated, enamoured pair who are full of promises of what they'll do for each other. Real love In marriage is based upon per formance rather than talk. But Isabel and Joseph, sulk ing over a marriage which lacked excitement, didn't even try lo turn it into a friendship, much less a Joving relation ship. At the risk of being hard on her own sex, the Council's editor must suggest that re sponsibility for improving a marriage rests largely with the wife. Surely Isabel had opportunities during her 17 years with Joe to grow close to him. Wasn't her young son a bond? And isn't their daugh ter "a joint project," a poten tial joy for his declining years? ; Close-mouthed as he is, Joe might have been inveigled i into comment on pleasant top-! ics, anyway. But we gather 1 he took refuge in silence I against bickering, and later1 he became a fugitive from' home physically too. j j From Isabel's standpoint, of ' j course, life should hold more for her than this drab, icicle j laden household. But, we re peat, there must be more she can do to fill the needs in Joe's life than she has done. Regardless of her excuses, she made certain vows about "car ing" for him, and she accepted his protection in turn. We get the impression that she can break through his solid wall of non-response by a solid week of smiling greetings. We won t recommend the breakup I of this home until after a few years of buildup have been honestly tried.
