Intimate Love #12
This anthology issue presents three interconnected stories of romantic conflict. "Bride Adrift" follows a woman named Lois whose husband Frank confesses he once loved another woman named Bette and ran away with a man named Rand; Lois leaves Frank, believing their marriage is built on lies. "Part-Time Wife" depicts Laura, a woman who takes on secretarial work to support her family while her husband Greg resents her independence and ambitions, leading to marital discord. The final story shows a newlywed couple navigating domestic expectations and social pressures, with the wife struggling to balance her own aspirations against her husband's desire for a traditional homemaker.
