cent
men who go to psychiatrists or
matrimonial counsellors in an
attempt to save their mar
riages open up their bag of
troubles with this statement:
"Shes nagging me to death."
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."

Good Men Ruined

the subject of nagging, "that
