Happiness and Marriage
A Short Review
Happiness and Marriage by Elizabeth Towne is one of the best books I have ever read on the subject of marriage or relationships. After reading it you will have a completely new outlook on all your relationships whether it is with your husband, wife, children, friends or relatives. Though this book was written a long time ago, the points made by the author about the Law of Attraction and Inner Power are just as valid today as they were then. This book is a must read for all. It will change your relationships forever.
In the words of Elizabeth Towne, “It requires but one to strike the keynote of respect and personal freedom in marriage; the other will soon come into harmony.”
HAPPINESS AND MARRIAGE
...BY ...
ELIZABETH TOWNE
"The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining;
I therefore turn my clouds about,
And always wear them inside out--
To show the lining."
--James Whitcomb Riley.
"And I will show that there is no imperfection in the
present, and can be none in the future,
And I will show that whatever happens to anybody
it may be turned to beautiful results."
--Walt Whitman.

INDEX
Chapter 1
- If two people are distinctly enough individualized; that is, if they understand and command themselves sufficiently; their attraction and marriage will bring to them only pleasure....
Chapter 2
- Nobody who thinks will carry a single burden for even a single day. He knows that fretting and worrying and grumbling only double the burden and accomplish nothing.
Chapter 3
- "I desire to attract love from the Infinite or somewhere,
that I may not be starved for it, as I have been
ever since I married. My husband sneers at the New
Thought, and in fact at nearly all that is best in me."
Chapter 4
- Each soul in its place is wisest and best. Don't you try to get into the pilot house and steer things for Tom, Dick, or Harry. Stay in your own and steer clear of the rocks of anger, malice, revenge, resentment, re-sistance, INTERFERENCE and immoderation.
Chapter 5
- "Help me to make things go forward instead of backward. I want to be attractive. I want to help my husband so he will fall in love with me."
Chapter 6
Two people marry first, for the happiness of love; and second, for home privileges. If you can't, or won't, adjust yourself to your partner, then leave him/her. Don't stay and half-do your part of the business and cultivate hate and contempt. It's hell. Get out.
Chapter 7
- It is funny how many women squirm when reminded that it is they who set the pace in the home!
Chapter 8
- "My wife has fallen in love with another man. She keeps house for me and I am trying to show her all the love I can but it seems to have no effect upon her...."
Chapter 9
- The man who is not afraid follows desire and grows fast in wisdom and in knowledge. He may make mistakes and suffer all sorts of agonies as a result. But he learns from his misses as well as from his hits, and he progresses.
Chapter 10
- "I have recently married for the second time. My husband is a splendid man but his grown up children are not in harmony with me...."
Chapter 11
- "I desire to come face to face with the person or persons who are controlling and influencing my husband against his home and children and myself. He has been...."
Chapter 12
- "If a man and woman love each other and are every way suited to marry should they yield to the opposition of his grown daughter?"
Chapter 13
- We hear a lot about the "Biblical reason" for divorce; but I say unto you that infidelity is no reason at all for divorce. The one just cause for separation is incompatibility of temper.
Chapter 14
- My mail is leavened with letters from those who are unhappily married. They all want to leave the old mis-mate and go to the new found soul mate. To one such I wrote the following letter, which I publish in the hope that it will help others to find and follow themselves. Here is the letter....
