The courts are so full of divorce cases that one
is inclined to believe that unhappy through married life is the
logical result of matrimony. There are, also, millions of
unhappy married people who do not resort to the courts, but, for
the sake of the children, for family reasons, or the dread of
publicity, suffer the galling yoke for years or until death
releases them.
This chapter will explain how complete unhappiness
in married life may be obtained. None need fail in being
unhappy if that is the condition desired. If not, the
reverse of this method will produce happiness.
To be unhappy through married, the married life
should begin in the home of the young husband with the mother who
adores him and the sisters who think no girl is good enough for
him. This plan has been tried for ages and has seldom been
known to fail. Then, the husband should always come home
with a grouch. On the way home he should forget all the
pleasant incidents of the day, remembering only the annoyances
with which to regale his wife in the evening. This will
produce an atmosphere of gloom and depression which will cause her
little troubles to magnify out of all proportion and unhappiness
will reign supreme. Should you have difficulty in putting
out of your mind the amusing stories and cheerful happenings of
the day, just drop into a telephone booth on your way home and
stay there until you feel not only satisfied with the result, but
are sure of being late for dinner. This will bring home a
sinister atmosphere that will be sensed from the drawing room to
the kitchen. The cook will be cross, and the dinner
over-done and cold, and unhappiness will be enthroned.
Manifest blessings of prosperity, healthy and
brilliant children, a large circle of friends; all will be lost
sight of. In this discordant atmosphere the mortal body will
refuse to function properly and headaches, neuritis, heart failure
and many other evils will follow. If any member of the
family happens to fall ill in such surroundings, the illness will
be intensified and, unless some good doctor with a strong and
cheerful personality is called in and changes to the atmosphere,
the patient may become too depressed to resist the disease.
To be unhappy through married --first remember
that kind words, thoughtfulness, tender care, passing over of
differences, dropping from your mind the little things that have
annoyed you during the day, will give you such a pleasing
atmosphere that you will not be unhappy at all. You will
think married life is Heaven and wonder why anyone remains single.
Unhappiness in the home is nurtured on a
discordant atmosphere and this can be more readily developed than
any product of man. It takes months to grow flowers, but a
determined person fully realizing the power of evil atmosphere in
the home, can, bu cultivating a grouch, change a pleasant
atmosphere for an unpleasant one in an incredibly short time.
The most noble ambition for any man or woman to
entertain is to make their married life happy. It is a
profession that should be studied; in fact, colleges should
establish classes and lectures on the subject of how to produce
happiness in the home. Cultivate thoughts that create a
harmonious atmosphere with more persistency even than you would
use in pursuit of wealth. Delve into the sunshine of hope
and love as miners seek for precious metals, for a good atmosphere
is life's greatest asset --more to be desired than gold. It
is of the Kingdom of Heaven.
No matter what else an individual may have
accomplished in life, if one has charmed and captured a mate and
retained the respect and love of that one through better or worse
so long as life shall last --that individual has made a success.
