Many American women are earning money outside their homes today. Among women who are

eighteen to sixty-four years old, fifty percent have jobs.

In general, working women have had more education than those staying at home. Of those who

work, thirty-two percent have attended college, compared with twenty percent of those who do not

have jobs.

Among women with jobs, eight of ten drive a car to work, and eight percent took a vacation

away from home during the past year. Much of their traveling was by air.

These figures come from a report, which was written for advertisers, the report shows a new

picture of women today. For instance, it tells advertisers that fifty-one percent of all American

women have traveled by air - along with fifty-nine percent of all American men.

The lesson for American business is that many women now have other interests besides their

homes. They like advertisements, which show women in office, planes, and cars.

Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially

among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many

youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, “go steady”through high

school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However,

emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at

twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never

do, even in three-score years and ten (七十岁).

Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home

life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it

can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage seldom solves one’s

problems, more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful

whether the home is an institution that is capable of carrying all that the young

are seeking to put into it. Young people correctly understand that their parents

are wrong in believing that “success”is the ultimate goal, but they erroneously

believe that they themselves have found the true center of life’s meaning. Their

expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of

fulfillment. They want too much, and disappointments are often bound to follow.

Shall we, then, join the chorus of “Miseries”over early marriage? One cannot

generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good.

Satisfactory marriages are determined not by time, but by the emotional maturity

of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the

early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or

false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can

be made from sixteen to sixty, and so are bad ones.
