much more adept at bullying “Sand dictating to their husbands. Perhaps we should call it “matriarchial management.” They seem never to need their husbands for anything except money. They “let themselves go” and make no effort to create an atmosphere of gracious charm. The men are at fault, too. If they refused to allow it, the women would quickly change.

Letting Down THE AVERAGE hushand comes home and yells, “Mom, what's for dinner?’ takes off his coat and shoes, glues his ear to the radio and his eyes to the paper, tries to devour both and digests neither. If his wife would don a pretty housecoat and meet him at the door, looking as attractive as possible, the first time he would probably say “What the heck’s the idea?” But he would like it. Remember, when he married you he evidently found you attractive. If you have been letting him down during the years, now ' is the time to make amends. He probably has his blues, too, and you can help him, as well as yourssif, to new-found companionships. If he has been guilty of “letting himself go” he'll perk up to match you. Since this is your life together, why not make the most of it?

The majority of women over 40 have allowed this attitude to force them out of the running. These women with their efficiency, their careers and matriarchial manner, have helped to develop his immature attitude. 80 both sexes are at fault. Just what are the sex problems of women in middle life? The desire for love and affection from the husband to whom you have been married for years, yes, if that has been a satisfying experience.

that a little adventure in love is what you need, let's explore the consequences.

Unhappiness IF YOU are in your forties but still able to bear children, think before you choose a “lover” for sex adventures, From meetings and love trysts often comes the desire for forgetfulness and alcohol, Often the consequences are pregnancy and disclosure to your husband,. family and friends. Before you embark upcn any extra-marital affair, think long and hard. Excitement and sex and appeasement of vanily are the lures, but unhappiness the result,
