Twenty-Four Hours a Day

A *Twenty-four Hours a Day* relationship is the kind of marriage both Christine and Larry expect to have—working, playing, loving. Yet as soon as they return from their honeymoon, trouble begins. It is clear to Christine that Larry’s most valued assistant is in love with him, and is trying to undermine Christine’s position. Larry, annoyed, accuses Christine of foolish feminine jealousy. Thus the store, instead of binding them closer together, begins to drive them apart. To save her marriage, Christine would give up the work she loves. But she knows Larry is proud of her success and would find her less interesting as “just a housewife.” Would the sacrifice work? Or would she find that she has lost Larry’s love along with her career?
