When I think of a merry happy free young girl - and look at the ailing aching state a young wife generally is doomed to - which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.

Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people how you argue how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other's point of view?

Marriage is distinctly and repeatedly excluded from heaven. Is this because it is thought likely to mar the general felicity?

In marriage a man becomes slack and selfish and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
