Isabel C. 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.
