WHY I OPPOSE THE >
. WAR MARRIAGES
~ Before the war marriage is per.
formed, there are four quesfiong
which should be considered anq
answered honestly:
1. Do you really know eacp
other?
2. Have you similar backgroungs
and interests?
3. Are you both really in lgye
4. Does the girl realize that
when her hushand rsturns he may
be a stranger to her? ]
The war marriage is too. often
regarded as little more than 3
fleeting gesture of affection for 3
boy who is leaving to fight for hig
country.. This is very far from
being the case. In actual practice,
there is nothing fleeting about the
war marriage. True, it is growing
easier and easier for a man in the
armed forces to marry. Many state
legislatures have abolished the
waiting period between license
and ceremony, for the purpose of
accommodating the boys and in
consideration for their short
leaves. But it is almost impossible
to divorce a serviceman. '{he
Federal Government, to protect
his interests, has decreed that his
wife cannot divorce him, what
ever the provocation, without his
co~operation. In other words, the
war marriage, which is being en-’
tered into with so little thought,
is the hardest kind of marriage
from which to escape.
Marriage is to continue’ “in
sickness and in health.” Girls are
apt to forget that when they marry
impulsively. They are all intelli
gent enough *to know that their
husbands may be killed in battle,
What they don ot consider is that
he may be wounded or maimed,
that the life they have planned
together may be altered beyond
all expectation. The wife must
understand that, whatever the cir~
cumstances, it is her job to remain
with her husband. 1
Of course, this, like so many |
of the problems of the war mar
riage, is merely a peacetime prob
lem intensified. There is no such
thing as safety in. the modern
world. Indeed, there has never
been such a thing in human life.
But why, then, people ask, do
you oppose the war marriage’ I °
oppose the war marriage as a
rule—there are always exceptions,
of course — because it lacks so
many of the requirements of an
enduring marriage.
It is performed in haste, often
with little knowledge on either
side. In peacetime there is a
chance for adjustment. In war
time there is little or none.
The man is sent away to new
lands and new people and new
and often overwhelming experi
ences. The woman remains be
hind, alone, not sharing those ex
periences. Instead of a close link
being forged between them 2a
gulf is dug, across which it will
take infinite patience and intelli
gence and good will to build a
bridge. £
There is also the emotional
problem of separation. A girl has
been awakened physicall by mar
riage and then is left alone. This
is not only a source of unhappiness
but frequently a source of danger.
In the last war, a young couple
married just before he was ship
ped to France. He returned, im
patient to see his wife, eager 0
go home and begin at last‘thel-r
life together. The girl met him at
the pier but not as he expected
When he took her i;} his arms,
she drew away from him cooly.
“What's the matter?” he asked
in surprise. .
“I have not been true o you
she said. “I am sorry to let you
down like this, but I can't help
it. It is impossible for us to 80
on with our marriage. I want @
divorce as soon as possible”
“But you can’t do this,” he sa.ld.
“You can't do this.” His voice
rose. “I'll kill the man.”
But he did not kill the other
man. The next day he shot and
killed himself. i
