Expert do not challenge t h e accusation that the American wife is a nagger, but they do divide nagging into two catego ries benevolent and malig nant. Benevolent nagging is insist ing that he wear his overshoes through a snow storm and have a physical check-up once a year. It springs from love and a desire to keep him healthy. A man who complains to the psychiatrist about be nevolent nagging is almost cer tain to be the offending party in the forthcoming smash-up of the marriage. Malignant nagging is de manding repeatedly that he do something about a situation that at the moment cannot be changed. Like insisting he change jobs when no other job is in sight, or demanding he buy a dish washing machine when there is no cash availa ble and his credit is strained to the breaking point. Highest In World The American divorce rate is the highest in the world. Not all divorces result from quar rels over money, but enough of them do to make an examina tion of the family financial set up imperative to anybody who is trying to save the marriage. As soon as he is married, the average American husband starts spending $400 a year more than he earns. The amount can get bigger and the situation can last for as long as 20 years, depending on how addicted the family is to in stallment buying. The arrival of children in creases the rate of spending and heightens the debt until, as Martha Lear says in her book "The Child Worshippers," American families have a tendency "to spend themselves into a financial sewer."
