EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spangh “Marriage Is Washing Dish es, Too” is the title of an edi torial which appeared some time ago in the Richmond News Leader. There is one paragraph I would like to quote. It is based upon an in terview with the actress Zsa Zsa Gabor. “Having been married three times, Miss Gabor apparently feels qualified to pose as an ex pert on marriage.” She predict ed that “marriage will be abol ished in 100 years as a useless institution,” and said that she never had washed dishes. The editorial writer observed, ‘‘Well, chums, marriage is washing dishes. It’s darning socks and turning the cuffs on shirts. It’s changing diapers on little people you never thought about in the carefree, pre-mat rimony days. It’s knowing when to speak gently to papa when he comes home from the office with a dazed look in his eyes. It’s marketing for hamburger when the family is asking querolously about steak. It’s sitting up all night with a sick child. It’s a lot of little things Miss Gabor obviously knows nothing about, and we pity her for the not knowing. But it’s a wonderful institution, and it’s here to stay. Pfui to Zsa Zsa.” Marriage is having a hard time of it these days and ob servations by such as Miss Ga bor don’t help. Modern machin ery has done much to relieve the physical labor which papa and mama used to have to do/ But it has done much to increase another strain under which we all labor. The plesaure of quo tas and piece-work heightens the nervous strain in the busi- n^s* and commerbial world. Pressure everywhere increases. No wonder pape often comes home with a “dazed look in his eyes,” looking hopefully for some encouragement and inspi ration from his wife and some peace and joy in his own castle which he likes to call home. Homemaking is the most im portant but the most neglected business in the world today. Without it all other businesses would languish nad soon disap pear. Homemaking has ever been primarily the first job of a wife. The home can be a source of inspiration or desperation to the husband. I shudder when I sometimes hear men say, “I dread going home at night.” The successful business exec utive today realizes that per sonal problems of his employ ees are of greatest importance to the succesful operation of his business. He is giving more at tention to them as he realizes that the contented worker is the efficient worker. The successful wife realizes that she is the home executive and that the personal problems in the home are her greatest challenge. Marriage for the wife is a lot of' little things like washing dishes, too. She realizes, too, that she determin es the emotional, psychological and spiritual atmosphere of that home. It is her God-given job. Modern machinery has taken much of the drudgery out of the home. The modern wife has her greatest opportun ity now. Ernest H.
