development will determine the WAY he
does things--the METHODS he will follow in doing what his predominant
type signifies.

The third element, if noticeable, merely "flavors" his personality.

Thus, a Cerebral-Muscular-Alimentive does MENTAL things predominantly
throughout his life, but in a more MUSCULAR way than if he were an
extreme Cerebral. The Alimentive element, being third down the list,
will tend to make him eat and assimilate more food than he otherwise
would.

CHAPTER VI

Types That Should and Should Not Marry Each Other

"I am so sorry to hear the Browns are being divorced. I have known George
and Mary for years and they are as fine a man and woman as I ever saw.
But they just don't seem able to get along together."

How many times you have heard something like this. And the speaker got
nearer the truth than he knew. For the Georges and Marys everywhere are,
on the whole, fine men and women.

Married to the Wrong One

Each one is all right in himself, but merely married to the wrong
person--a fact we have recognized when both George and Mary made
successes of their second ventures and lived happily ever after.

Human happiness, as we have noted in the introduction to this volume, is
attained only through _doing what the organism was built to do, in an
environment that is favorable_. Marriage is only the attempt of two
people to attain these two ends individually, mutually and
simultaneously.

Difficulties of Double Harness

Now, since it is almost impossible for one to achieve happiness when
untrammeled and free, is it to be wondered at that so few achieve it in
double harness? For the difficulties to be surmounted are doubled and
the helps are halved by the presence of a running mate.

Mere Marriedness is not Mating

That "two can live on less than one" is not true--but it is nearer the
truth than that two can find ultimate happiness together easier than
either can find an approximation of happiness alone.

This is not saying that any one who is unmated can have happiness as
complete as that which comes to the rightly mated--for nothing else in
life can compare with that--but they must be RIGHTLY MATED, not merely
_married_.

No one who has observed or thought on this subject will deny that it is
a thousand times better not to be married at all than to be married to
the wrong person.
