MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE Two Programmes of Reform ONLY the partners in a marriage know what it is really like. A couple who resemble, to the bystanders, Strindberg’s Captain and his spouse may consider themselves to be rubbing along very comfortably, while a seeming Philemon and Baucis may not have had a thought or taste in common for thirty years. Compatibility of temperament is not a factor anyone can predict in advance of - marriage, especially when bemused by desire. But the ability to make a marriage work turns, perhaps, less on compatibility than on a talent for enjoying half a loaf, and a good grasp of the principle that personal happiness is not a right but a bit of luck. Both the council of the British Medical Associationi and the National Association for Mental Health2 have recently published the memoranda they submitted to the Royal Commission on Marriage and Divorce. These overlap to some extent but the emphasis in them, as might be expected, is somewhat differently placed. The N.A.M.H. see the breakdown of marriage as a failure to maintain a healthy, responsible, and mature human relationship. The criterion of the need for divorce, they say, should lie in the irremediable and complete, or nearly complete, destruction of the marriage relationship. They evidently think that both parties ought to work hard to keep a marriage going. The B.M.A. seem to take a less strenuous view of this obligation, merely recommending that the divorce court should aim at the relief of suffering and hardship affecting both partners "
