Counseling made by George Crane

Newspaper columnist and minister

George Crane tells of a wife who came

into his office full of hatred toward her

husband. "I do not only want to get rid of

him, I want to get even. Before I divorce

him, I want to hurt him as much as he has

me."

Dr. Crane suggested an ingenious plan

"Go home and act as if you really love your

husband. Tell him how much he means to

you. Praise him for every decent trait. Go out

of your way to be as kind, considerate, and

generous as possible. Spare no efforts to

please him, to enjoy him. Make him believe

you love him. After you've convinced him of

your undying love and that you cannot live

without him, then drop the bomb.

Tell him that you're getting a divorce. That

will really hurt him." With revenge in her

eyes, she smiled and exclaimed,

"Beautiful, beautiful. Will he ever be

surprised!" And she did it with enthusiasm.

Acting "as if." For two months she showed

love, kindness, listening, giving,

reinforcing, sharing. When she didn't

return, Crane called. "Are you ready now

to go through with the divorce?"

"Divorce?" she exclaimed.

"Never! I discovered I really

do love him." Her actions had

changed her feelings. Motion

resulted in emotion. The

ability to love is established

not so much by fervent

promise as often repeated

deeds.
