make a success of marriage. I understand how you feel as 1 have worked outside the home and know how one feels w hen they come home at night looking for rest and relaxation. On the other hand I can sympathize with a wife who has w orked hard all da.vand is probably tired out at the end of the day and thinks that you should help out when you get home. « If you are able to afford some paid help, even for a few hours one day a week that would be a help for both of you. Also help your wife to make out a schedule of her work so that most of it can be done before you return home. Some men enjoy getting to be with the children before they go to bed and it really helps.
