Planning, Use of Good Sense
Can Reduce Marital Problems
The only problem with getting married is
getting married.
Ask any newly wed couple or about-to-be-
marrieds and they'll tell you that.
Many problems can be averted by determin-
ing financial and emotional responsibility
long before any planning is done. Any bridal
magazine or book of etiquette will help the
engaged couple out of a lot of hassles. * * *
THE INITIAL hassle is one experienced by
the bridegroom-to-be. First he has to ask the
bride to be a bride and then he is charged with
the suffering duty of telling her parents that
he has asked her to marry him and now wants
their permission to do so.
If parental consent to the marriage is long in
coming, look for a state which doesn't require
parental consent like Michigan, or grit your
teeth and act calm for awhile,
Religious differences are a big hassle for some
couples because their own religions aren't
compatible according to their clergy . . . or
their mothers-in-law.
*
ONE WAY to avoid this religious hassle is to
marry someone who is of the same faith, or
someone whose attitudes are not organized.
A suggestion of most long-married persons is
that young people take pre-marriage courses,
either at their church or synagogue, from the
clergy or at colleges and high schools. •
This way, first-year-of-marriage problems can
be reduced if both the bride and bridegroom
know exactly what to expect sexually and
socially.

ONE OF the big hassles for the young bride-
groom is getting dragged along to pick out
china, flatware and glassware for his future.
Most men aren't particularly interested in
these procedures, but .such things are a must
and the men must comply just to make life
easier.
One way to dispel mother-in-law blues is to
move to another city or work out a program
for each month when it is time to visit in-laws.
Most pre-marriage and after-marriage prob-
lems are bearable if they are treated maturely
and with genuine concern for the other parties
involved. Perhaps the "Golden Rule" should
be applied in these cases . .
