What then?
To be near each other and to live together is the chief desire of genuine lovers.

That would be no home which had two centres of vocational activity miles apart.

Circumstances may compel such separation for economic reasons long after marriage has bound two lives together so closely that distance even cannot really separate them.

But at the outset, if two people are to belong to each other, they must be able to combine their home life if that is to be a help and not a hindrance to the joint affection that alone makes the two one.

The question of domicile, bound up with that of whether or not the woman shall continue her vocational connection after marriage, sometimes becomes acute in this manner:--the woman earns more than the man and her place of earning is in a far-away location from his and the transplanting of his life has no promise of economic readjustment.
Shall she give up her larger salary and go with him to a place in which she is less likely than if single to gain a professional foothold and they both make the smaller income do?
Or shall she insist, if he is willing, that the economic advantage of the married firm requires his removal to the seat of her labors at any risk of his getting another hold upon vocational opportunity?
Those who ask such a question should remember that the facts of life, social and economic, all make the upsetting of the man in his work seldom a safe or a happy solution.
