If two people are open with each other, they'll know what they're getting into. If not, they're in for some cruel surprises. It may be the most bitter curse. It may sting like an adder and bite like a serpent. Its bower is as often made of thorns as of roses. . . .
Every improper marriage is a living misery, an undying death. . . .
But a proper marriage, a true interior soul-linked union, is a living picture of blessedness, unrivaled in beauty. A true marriage is the soul's Eden. It is the portal of heaven. It is the visiting place of angels. We believe, in time, it will be one of those books that's in just about everyone's home again.
