I IF I WERE A MARRIED MAN
By “‘Eleazer''in the Bonham News.
If I were a newly married man I
would not start out too sweet at first,
for I might not feel like eeeping It
up and then there would be tears on
the part of the wife. ■
She would think I did not love-her
as well as before if I did not keep up
the outward manifestations.
Some one asked:
‘‘What are the
names of that young couple next
door?'' “We wont be able to find
out for several weeks. They've just
been married, and he calls her Birdie,
and she calls him Pettie.”
Later on it may be Old Woman and
Old Man.” -
One mistake made by the newly
married man is the habit of engaging
in discussions with the new wife. This
leads to hard words and tears. Then
comes the painful ordeal of making up,
and this demands many kisses, em-
braces and much exaggeration to love
sayings.
If I were a newly married man I
would not contrast wife with mother,
her ways with my ways, her things and
my things, nor deal in irony.
Satire hurts, no matter which one
uses it.
A story is told of a married lady who
compared her husband to a piano lamp
that he had given her. Her husband
felt quite flattered until she mention-
ed the particulars of the resemblance.
■‘Well,” she said, "you know, my
dear, it has a good deal of brass about
It, it is handsome to look at, it is not
remarkably brilliant, requires a good
deal of attention, is sometimes un-
steady on its legs, liable to explode
when half full, flares up occasionally,
is always out at bed time and is bound
to smoke.''
If 1 were a newly married man I
would not spend all my loose cash to
buying ice cream, candles and the like,
as I did before I was married.
Here is a mistake sometimes made.
Young married people do not econo-
mize as they should. They spend all
that they earn in extravagances.
They dip in too deep. They think
-they must have the finest furniture,
cut glass, triple plate silver, the fluent
rig, etc., and they find themselves
swamped—,then they are humiliated.
Better begin with a few things and
live the simple life sad grow up into
a permanent state as the days roll by.
If I were a newly married man I
would sepnd my nights at home and
not at the club or hang around stores
and public places.
Nothing chills the heart of a young
wife so quickly ss this, to feel that a
man Is attracted by old comrades and
old haunts rather than by his wife. To
be left alone creates suspicion in the
mind of the young wife and cool the
heart feelings.
If 1 were a newly married man I
would not flirt with other women, not
even with my old sweethearts. This
causes jealousy and hard feeling in
the wife, and rightly so.
There is too much of this sly atten-
tion to other women on the part of
married men. One can be pleasant and
sociable without leaving the impres
sion that he is tired of his wife and
wishes to make new conquests snd
partake of the forbidden fruit. I care
not what the feelings are, no man has
a right to even think upon such mut-
ters. He has taken new vows upon
himself. His heart and life belong to
another and he must be true.
If I were a newly married man 1
would do my level beat to make a Us-
ing for myself and wife. I would not
expect my wife’s folks to support us.
If I could not make my own way I kad
better shame myself for marrying be-
fore I was able to pay my way, and
give my wife back.
Too many men are sitting upon the
front gallery or by the fireside while
the wife is doing the work, taking to
work, or going out to work, and mak-
ing the living. The man sitting around
grumbles because meals are not ready
on time, sitting around smoking an old
black pipe, chewing an old cud of to-
bacco, or smoking cigarettes and spit-
ting upon the floor or stove."
If I were a newly married man 1
would not break my heart over religi-
ous matters. If she loves the church
and wishes to go and worship, 1 would teach good sense.
not hinder her. I would not play pool,
billiards, cards or any game on Sunday
at home or the club room and cause
her heart pain and grief. I would re-
spect her feelings and honor her
Christian principles, even I were a
heathen.
If I were a newly married Mian I
would be the head of the family, even
if my wife was the neck which turns
the head. I would be in authority, but
not tyrannical. I would advise with
my wife and accept her wise counsels
and we two would be one, not two.
