Marriage Without Half Measures In Dorothy Dix Advice
Dorothy Dix counsels a man torn between two women to wait for a true one in a one life choice. She warns a dull devoted wife will ruin ambition, while a lovers chase brings unrest and ecstasy, urging patience and a better match. She also reassures a widower that a 20 year age gap can work if other factors fit and second marriages can prove happy. She defends a mother’s movie nights as relief from monotony and calls such breaks a godsend to domestic life.
