I have studied long hours for years to become a nurse, and I love my work and take it seriously. However, my fiance insists that I throw up my job and settle down immediately to keeping house and beari children. I think this is an unfair demand, so we argue.

I've seen childbirth and the agony and terror that attend it; and I am not ready for pregnancy in the first year of marriage, with- out even a chance to enjoy it. Now what is so unreasonable about that? It is very easy for George to say childbearing is nothing to make a fuss about. Nothing for him, maybe; because he won't be feeling it. I should think George would be proud (as I am) of the work 1 do. Practically anyone can have The trouble isn't all one-sided, | vou see.

If the nursing profession appeals to you more strongly than domes- ticity with George, washing dishes | and diapers as his wife, then mar- | riage to him is apt to become a imutual grievance rather than a blessing. And if you shrink from child bearing, you probably would be a martyr about mothering his children, especially if he wants | parenthood more than you do.
