(By A Special Reporter)

FARITAL difficulties which lead to the breaking up of so many homes will be discussed from all aspects by the recently formed Marriage Guidance Council at a two-day conference in London shortly.

The Incresaing number of matrimonial wrecks is due, it is, believed, to differences which, in the majority of cases, can be overcome, and it is with this object and the twin idea of advising couples about to marry that the council will meet.

Frank lectures and discussions will take place on such intimate subjects!

The social background of mar- riage;

I'reparation for marriage;

The psychological aspects of murriage;

Sexual differences in mar- rlage;

The task of parents in training for marclage; and
