THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE
The writer of the letter from which I was quoting adds: "Are you not looking for Utopias when you expect ideal bliss from the beginning of marriage to the end?"
No, we are not looking for Utopias any more than we are looking for ideal doctors because of studies medical students pursue; but the chances of getting a good doctor are a thousandfold greater by giving one a training in a medical school.
The writer adds: "Are not life and experience and time the best and only teachers for most people?"
What I have already said answers that question. Life and experience and time are necessary to work out a successful marriage, but the preliminary knowledge I advocate would help here just as much as in other lines of human activities.
