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 . . A iity perfect fir its detail.
