Live Like Lovers

Married people should treat each other like lovers all their lives then they would be happy. Bickering and quarreling would soon break off love affairs; consequently lovers indulge in such only to a very limited extent. But some peo-ple-—men and women both—when they have once got married, think they may do as they please, and it will make no difference They make a great mistake. It causes 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 morose ou her husband’s return { who had only smiles and words of: cheer lor him when he was her, suitor. How can such people' expect to-be happy?
