What Is the formula for a happy marriage? In these days when mapy marriages are <tnme easy, go easy, and we have a divorce for every two or three wed dings,, it is well to pause, and remem ber that all the World and his wife are not racking their braids to get divorce testimony, und that there are hundreds of good homes where the vow, “till death us do isn't,'’ is still taken literally. On “divorce Friday,'*, when the domestic relations court is grinding out its weekly grist. It is well to take a few moments to listen to some of Omaha's Joans and Darbys tell how it is possible to survive. 30, to or 50 years of married life with out needing or even desiring to appeal to Judge Day. “The two bears, bear and forbear,'* are mentioned by many happy Omaha matrons as the most auspicious at tendants for a married couple. Dove, say many, musk be the basis of a happy marriage, but love without un selfishness will not avail to save a match from shipwreck. Wives More Economical. One interesting fact brought out by the interviews was that the wives In these happy marriages seem to have given a good deal more thought to the reasons why a marriage suc ceeds or fails than the husbands. Of about a dozen men called, not one was willing or able to express him self on the causes of happiness in marriage, while the women seemed to have a philosophy of marriage very near to the threshhold of their consciousness. It is a natural inference that the wife is most likely to he responsible for the success of a happy marriage;! that it is she who devotes the more attention to smoothing over the rough places and easing the bumps and strains in connubial life. Yet it takes two to make a happy marriage, Just as it takes two to make a quar rel. And the wives of several of these Inarticulate gentlemen proudly assert, after enough years of experi ence to entitle them to know whereof they speak, that their lords are “the best husbands In the world.” Yet one cannot refrain from the suspicion that If a marriage is to tie a success at least one member of the high con tracting parties, and much better two. must do a great deal of thinking and planning to make it so. “I nstilfish Ijove."’ “t'nselfish love—the desire to give (rather than to get”—is the talisman to which Mrs. Beldon points as the only sure guide to wedded bliss. “For a woman to be happily mar ried is easier when she marries th l>est man in the world.” continues Mrs. Belden, "and so perhaps I am not the person to give advice to others. But if young people would ci nslder married life more seriously before entering into it. and then live it with the. determined idea of mao ing a success of it, there might be fewer divorces today, "I can lay down no rules for men. but a wife worthy of the name of helpmeet must expect work, trial and trouble as well as happiness No life can travel always along paths strewn with roses, but the best life is to be the sharer of joys and sorrows with a good husband. “Mutual forbearance” is given by Mrs. A. B. Somers as the watchword of a happy marriage. "If the hus band and wife will make as little as possible of one another's faults, and as much as possible of one another's good traits, their ultimate happiness will be almost certain. Imagine a family In which both husband and wife make every effort .to show their appieointion of the other’s virtues, abilities and kindly actions, while at the same time thinking and speaking very little indeed about his or her defects. That is not a family which is likely to seek a divorce. Mhch of the trouble comes from the opposite course of action—magnifying the partner’s failings, and nagging about them until all recollection of the bet ter side is destroyed Crisis Karly in Life. There Is nearly always a serious crisis early In married life, when two young people are trying to adapt their differing habits and standards to a double harness. There Is a second In middle life, very often a period of most delicate readjustment. Dur ing these restless years the passion ate love of earlier times is trans formed into friendship, and the hus band and wife settle down in a new attitude, as comrades and pals, to an increasing, although quiet apprecia tion of one another's companionship." Dr. and Mrs. Somers celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary Au gust 6. "Unselfishness is the strongest feature of a happy married life,” in the opinion of Mrs. M. B. Copeland also. Mrs. Copeland says she has met with no troublesome crises in her own experience, but -believes that they are frequent even in marriages that turn out to be very happy. The children, their management and education, arc, in her fxperience, a very strong bond between man and wife, and in sharing; this Joy and responsibility together ai couple find their truest happiness. Hasty marriages are blamed by sev eral happy matrons for the amount of divorce prevalent today. Deplores Hasty Marriage*. “We didn't used to think so much about divorce 40 years ago," said Mrs. C. . Withey, who soon will have completed 40 happy years with the hushand of her choice "When young people got married then, they be lieved it was for life, and they didn't go into it until they were pretty sure they had found the right person. I have no particular recipe for a hap py marriage, and yet I believe that the chief responsibility for the success or failure of a marriage rests with the wife. "One of the troubles today is that young people act like children. They get mad and won't play, and want to run home to mother. If a marriage is to be happy, both husband and wife must realize that they can't both have their own way all the time, and must be willing to give m with a good grace when the conflicts arrive." Mrs. W. S. Sheldon believes that six years of close friendship with her husband before marriage 'enabled them to avoid minv of the difficulties which nre aftcn thought to tie Inev* (table in married Hie. She and Mr. Sheldon became acquainted in col lege and were engaged for six years. They were very well acquainted with each other's habits, standards and ideas before they became husband and wife. Mrs. Sheldon is not in favor of long engagements, in spite of her own experience, hut fhinks that long years of whotpsome comradshlp are the best foundation upon which a. young man and woman can build their mutual happiness. Selfishness Blamed. Selfishness is responsible for mojt of the divorces today, in Mrs. Shel don's opinion. Young |>eople expect too much luxury, petting and coddling to liegln with. They are disappointed when they do not get everything they want, and have not the patience to endure it. “My own 35 years of marriage have been perfectly happy and the happiness grows stronger as the years go by," concluded Mrs. Sheldon. Mrs. Joe F. Barton believes that A very effective tonic to frayed or languid affection is a very small dose of that absence which makes the heart grow fonder. Business trips some times take her husljand away from town, and she notices that on his re turn their happiness at seeing one another is so great as to prevent the growth of any discontent. Mrs. Barton believes that the average husband and wife will get along better if they deliberately arrange for a week or two of separation every year, in which they can reflect quietly on each other's good points and, wish they were together again. Such a precau tion, she believes, will minimize fric tion and strengthen affection.
