FOR THOSE ABOUT TO MARRY
GUIDE TO MARRIAGE. By Leslie Tizard. Allen and Unwin Ltd. THIS is an attempt, by the Chairman of the Birmingham Marriage Guidance Council, to tell young people everything they wish to know about marriage in language that they can understand. It is frank enough to give old-fashioned people the creeps or a bilious attack, and comprehensive enough to cover most questions that normal young couples are ever likely to ask. Whether it is necessary or not depends on the view one takes of the purpose of marriage, and Mr. Tizard’s is not the view of puritans or priests. The book will of course sell like hot cakes, but it would be unfair to suggest that it was written to exploit an insatiable market. It was certainly written to sell, but from the point of view of circulation rather than of profit.
