Physical attraction is intense and powerful while it lasts. But if it is not supplemented by spiritual and mental attraction, it soon ends in discord and disgust. Nothing more horrible in life can be conceived by the mind than two beings feeling they are tied together by law, when the one physical bond which formerly united them has become rags and tatters, and no single taste, aspiration, emotion, ambition or belief is in union. Such children are, I believe, in God's eyes, the illegitimate spawn of earth. Love not only makes birth legitimate.
Love does exist after youth departs and when beauty of form and feature is no more.
Once really mated in spirit and in body, nothing can separate two beings. The perfect love is threefold. It is mental, spir- itual, and physical. Such marriages exist. The physical tie is only one of a trinity.
