Dr. Smith wrote about a marital satisfaction survey in our newsletter this month that was written and used by marriage counselors in the 1930's.  It is a hoot to read, and it's very interesting to see how much has changed in our culture in regards to marital relationships during the last 70 years! 

I especially marveled at the "demerits" a wife might earn when her husband evaluated her for things like failing to darn socks, or wearing soiled aprons around the house!  Hah!  But at least she could make up a few points by playing the piano, preparing meals on time, and letting her husband sleep in on Sunday while she dragged the kids to church!  Boy have times changed. 

If you don't get our monthly newsletter, go to our website to review a copy from August.  So what reaction did you have to the survey?  What other things do you think have changed over the last six or seven decades?  If they had made a satisfaction survey in the 1930's for women to evaluate their husbands, what kinds of demerits and merits might there have been?
