No wonder husbands

No wonder husbands and wives drift

apart in such homes!

We keep sad silences ofttimes with those who are dearest to us, even when their hearts are crying out for words. In many homes that lack rich and deep happiness, it is not more love which is needed — but the flowing out of the love in little words, acts, and expressions .

A husband loves his wife, and would give his life for her; but there are days and days that he never tells her so, nor reveals the sweet truth to her by any sign or token.

The wife loves her husband with warm, faithful affection — but she has fallen into the habit of making no demonstration, saying nothing about her love, going through the duties of the home-life almost as if there were no love in her heart.

No wonder husbands and wives drift apart in such homes! Hearts need their daily bread, and starve and die if it is withheld from them.
