ANTHONY · WEYMOUTH, of. Harley-street, Daily Ex- press family doctor, on .. MARRIAGE
'M hoping, Mr. Smith; I'M
that you will be one of those people who begin married life in such a way that it won't end in the tra-- gedy of divorce,
For divorce is a tragedy, Mr. Smith. It's failure of the most important job to which you've ever, set your hand.
"Never forget
that it's your duty to protect Your wife."
duty to protect her, to take care of her in a word, to give her n husband she can lean on and
rely on.
And if you've got children it's If she's a normal woman she'll a worse tragedy still: for your want to have children, and if failure is not only effecting you she loves you she'll want your and your wife (and both of you children to be hers. have had some say in it): It's .. So I don't think I'd marry, if affecting the lives of your I were you, with the idea that children, who've had no say in the physical side of murringe
ness-and you'll only get that, to the full by binding your in- terests together with children. But we'll talk about that again later on.
Anything else? Is it better to marry on a small Income or wait ntil it's bigger De pends, of course, on its actual size.
** But if you're afraid that by
it and who will never huve both, has nothing to do with children. marrying now you'll be losing their parents together again. You both want married happi- some of your creature-comforts,
That is why I maintain that
you don't really get quit of all
your
marriage troubles
by
divorce. And can't get rid of remorse quite as easily as you can a partner in marriage.
A SOUND piece of ad- vice is, give and take. When you really are married, Mr. Smith, you've simply got to sink
bachelor point of. your vlow. You are no longer a one- man business. You can't (and) you jolly well mustn't) act as if you were.
You'll have to consult Mrs. Smith about your expenditure; you'll have to talk over with
her any invitations you receive. And you'll have to be prepared to give way, whenever you realise that she's right.
It's a little difficult at first, because until now-you've-been- on your own with no one else you! need consider: But the more you do it willingly in your,! early married life the easier it becomes.
Somehow I believe that sel fishness wrecks more marriages than any other single factor.
WHAT about the length
of your engagement? i Well, I suppose a long or a short engagement is largely a matter of the individual people con- cerned.
You shouldn't, of course, rush into an agreement which is to last your lifetime. So don't to-day and be on the propose church steps as soon us the banns can be called.
There's such a lot to do, my dear chap, before you marry.[ And there are two of you to be considered,

to
You see, if you both want very much to be married to cach other, you're going to-natur- ally enough-spend all the spare time you can in each other's company. And that's a little trying to both of you-If the engagement lasts months (or even years).
WHAT next? You should be as fit as you can before you marry. I'm assum- ing you know all the duties which you're undertaking-and that you realise your wife has her rights too.
You're a man, Mr. Smith, and your wo is marrying a man, and if you want to be happy' you'll never forget that it's your

That state of mind suggests to me, Mr. Smith' that you'rb a bit self-indulgent, and possi- bly you're only contemplating BANGKOK marriage from that point of BATAVIA view. Let me tell you very CALCUTTA firmly that happy marriage cEFOO doesn't mean only an increase COLOMBO in your comfortsat any rate FOOCHOW you shouldn't marry with that as your main object.
܀
IT'S
funny thing, but I'm certain that you'll double your real happiness if you have to sacrilico something in order to change Miss Brown into Mrs. Smith. I suppose this is really because we humans never appreciate something we
for get
nothing. Do you agree?
Yes, I shall be very glad to make Miss Brown's acquaint- unice.
