When a Girl Marries (Continued from page 61) possible. And you will have your child close to you without endangering anyone's happiness. You can do much more in the way of rearing and educating your child than you could if you made her position known to your husband, to her, and to the world. It might entail moving from your present home, upsetting your married life, and ruining the happiness not only of yourself but of your other two children, whose welfare you must certainly watch over. WHAT MATTERS MOST? Dear Joan: For the past two years now my husband has worked on a job that keeps him away for two weeks at a time, and when he is home it is only for a few days. Since we are young we feel that we are missing the things other young couples enjoy together, such as dancing, movies, etc. We have a small baby who seems to be growing up so fast that my husband doesn't even know him. We go over and over the situation trying to do what is wisest. You see, my husband's work pays so much that we can save toward his schooling and a secure future, so it always wins out. He has a job offered that would pay a small salary, where he could be home every day living a normal, happy life. We know from experience that love is the most important thing on earth, but that it can wear thin where money is scarce. L.M.A. Dear L.M.A. : You know, convention would insist that I advise you to put your being together before all other considerations. But I'm not going to do that. I'm going, instead, to point out a fact that sometimes escapes us until it's too late to do anything about it. And that is, that the word "future" has two meanings. There's the future that stretches far beyond sight, the "some day" of fairy-tales, the future that never comes. And there's the future which can be counted in time as we know it: the future of which we can say "Next month I'm going to do such and such," or "Next year in December I'm going to buy this and that." Which kind of future are you looking toward? It makes a vast difference in your decision. If it's the first — the future of which you say "Some day my husband will be able to stay at home with us," then I think that, regardless of the financial advantage of his present work, he ought to take the smallersalaried job that would allow your home life to take a more normal form. Happiness is too precious, the growingup years of your child too swiftly gone (as you've already realized) to be sacrificed to the vague hope that some day things will be different. On the other hand, you say you are saving toward a definite goal: your son's schooling. If a reasonable length of time will see this sum accumulated — and by reasonably I mean brief, less than a year longer — perhaps the future benefits would be worth the present sacrifice. But if it will be longer than a few months, longer than a year before you have accumulated the money you need — give it up! Decide to get along on the smaller salary, and have the happiness now that you are putting off until the future.
