This anthology issue contains three romantic stories. "Honeymoon Nest Becomes Henpeck House" follows a newlywed wife who feels neglected when her husband prioritizes bowling and socializing with friends, leading to jealousy and marital conflict before reconciliation. A second story depicts a woman named Miss who survives a plane crash alongside her husband Bob, fighting through flames and wreckage to rescue him, with both eventually rescued and reunited in a hospital. The final story, set at an army camp, centers on a soldier named Mike and a woman named Celia whose relationship is tested by her selfish ambitions, but ultimately they reconcile and pledge their love, ending at a railroad station where Mike declares she'll be "the wife you always wanted."
