TRIAL MARRIAGES
lack of success shown BITTER DISILLUSIONMENT LONDON, 3rd December. “Trial marriages are unsuccessful and often end in bitter disillusionment and tragedy,” said Mrs Neville Rolfo, secretary’of the British Social Hygiene Council, addressing a Mayfair audience. Those in touch with many young people who have been experimenting in Irial marirages, she said, realise how sadly many have been disappointed.
“A temporary liaison, excluding children,” added Mrs Eolfe, “can never be a, real trial of marriage, because it debars psychological and physiological attunoment from the outset. Although a proportion of trial marriage ends in real marriage, there is also much tragedy among the participants.” Mrs’Role advocated married women having !t definite professional or voluntary interest outside the home. “One of the main reason for disharmony in the home,” she said, “is a woman's lack of intellectual interest, resulting in her abnormal attention to sex or reducing her life to a constant round of dressmaking, beauty parlour and bridge party.”
