Live like Lovers.—Married people should treat each other like lovers all their lives ; then they will be happy. Bickering and quarrelling would soon break off love affairs ; consequently lovers indulge in such only to a very limited extent. But some people—men and women both—when they have once got married, thiuk that they can do just as they please, and it will make no difference. They make a great mistake. It will make all the difference in the world. Women should grow more devoted and men more fond after marriage, if they have the slightest idea of being happy as wives and husbands. It is losing sight of this fundamental truth which leads to hundreds of divorces. Yet many a man will scold his wife who would never think of breathing a harsh word to his sweetheart ; and many a wife will be glum and moroee on her husband’s return who had only smiles and words of cheer for him when he was her suitor. How can such people expect to be happy?
