Marriage and love
Marriage is different from love. It is a good institution but I must add that a lot depends on the person you are married to. There is no such thing as a good wife or a good husband – there is only a good wife to Mr. A or a good husband to Mrs. B. if a credulous woman marries a pathological liar, they may live together happily to the end of their days – one telling lies, the other believing them. A man who can not live without constant admiration should marry a “God, you are wonderful” type of woman. If he is unable to make up his mind, he is right in wedding a dictator. One dictator may prosper in marriage: two are too many.
The way to matrimonial happiness is barred to no one. It is all a matter of choice.
If someone buys a refrigerator, it never occurs to him that it is a bad refrigerator because he can not play gramophone records on it; nor he does he blame his hat for not being suitable for use as a flower vase. But many people who are very fond of
YOU should know what you are buying. And as long as you do not play records in your refrigerator & not put bunches of chrysanthemums into your hat, you have a reasonable chance of so-called happiness.
