MARITAL WORRIES I now approach a difficult part of my subject, yet I do it without trepidation, fear, or worry as to results.

There are, to my mind, a few fundamental principles to be considered and observed, and each married couple must learn to fight the battle out for themselves.
Undoubtedly, to most married people, the ideal relationship is where each is so perfectly in accord with the other--they think alike, agree, are as one mentally--that there are no irritations, no differences of opinion, no serious questions to discuss.
Others have a different ideal.

They do not object to differences, serious, even, and wide.

They are so thorough believers in the sanctity of the individuality of each person--that every individual must live his own life, and thus learn his own lessons, that what they ask is a love large enough, big enough, sympathetic enough, to embrace all differences, and in confidence that the "working out" process will be as sure for one as the other, to rest, content and serene in each other's love in spite of the things that otherwise would divide them.
This mental attitude, however, requires a large faith in God, a wonderful belief in the good that is in each person, and a forbearing wisdom that few possess.

Nevertheless, it is well worth striving for, and its possession is more desirable than many riches.
