Sunday School Guide To Married Bliss Warns Against Traveling Salesman
Chicago sociology professor Ernest Burgess summarizes a study of 526 marriages. He says continuing Sunday school to age 10 signals a stable marriage, to 18 is a good sign, and enduring Sunday school after marriage suggests happiness. He discourages marrying traveling salesmen or musicians and urges selecting a mate from one's own social circle, living in smaller communities, stable housing, saving, steady employment, and joining three organizations. A courtship of three to five years is best, with a one year engagement acceptable.
