we'd sit right down and work out a way to get around it, and the result is a system which we think will make our marriage work — no matter how hard Hollywood tries to defeat it — and probably would help any marriage to sail along on an even keel, whether it's in Hollywood, or Muncie, Indiana.
My first marriage was unsuccessful. In it I'd made enough mistakes to wreck every happy home from here to Calcutta. I'd let the public, friends, work, outside interests, everything, come between me and my home. I suppose the public hasn't forgotten that first, brief and unhappy marriage of mine — and you can be sure I haven't. But at least it pointed out the pitfalls which David and I must avoid, if we are to have the happy life together that both of us want so terribly.
I'm optimist enough to think that I can learn how to do things the right way from doing them the wrong way. There should be lessons here for you, too, even if your home isn't in Hollywood and you aren't working for a living in radio and the movies — because, fundamentally, the lessons I learned apply to every marriage, everywhere.
Dave and I want to stay married just as much as you do, for we both believe that marriage is the best way of life, even for two ambitious careerists. We think we have found the key.
Briefly, it's this: Work together when you can. When the job at hand is something you have to do alone, then do it alone. Don't drag the other fellow in, just to stand around and wait for you. Guard a free hour together, as though it were your last hour on earth. And don't let anybody intrude on it.
Just two simple rules. Just two don'ts.
But ignore them, and before you know it marriage rhymes with mess.
I think these rules will work not only for the first year together, but for the first ten, and the first twenty, and forever.
David and I were thinking in
terms of a whole life together when
we exchanged wedding vows in that
little chapel at Ensenada. "Till death
