Marriages Are Made On Earth. . “Probably you are already married ’ —for better or worse —and however happy you are you have certainly discovered that your husband is a problem, and that you yourself are one to him; that is inevitable,” said a doctor in a recent 8.8. C. broadcast. “The jmportant thing is that you should not accept these difficulties as if they were unalterable, but that you should try to find out why they occur and how they can be. remedied, and have ■the courage to experiment in altering things. Marriages are not made in (Heaven, they have to be made and remade day by day and week by week over a. very long period of years. There is always something to be altered, some new adjustment to be made in ourselves, and for all, except the very lazy, this is a great adventure and. very good fun. After all, if you think of any successful business which you know, you will see that it would bo impossible for that business to bo as it is if there were not a constant checking up of the various details of its management; if old ideas were not scrapped and now ones brought in, and if there were not, in fact, an idea of constant growth ■and development. That also is the secret of successful marriage.”
