A Matrimonial Catechism.

"A Matrimonial Catechism.
Marriage is an institution for the
blind.
Why do some people never marry?
Because they do not believe in
divorce.
When man thinks seriously of
marrying what happens?
He remains single.
Should man marry a girl for her
money?
No. But he should not let her be
an old maid just because she is rich.
When a girl refers to "sad court
ship" what does she mean?
She means that the man got away.
Is engagement as good as marriage? ?
It's better.
When asking papa, how should a
young man act?
He should face papa manfully and
never him him chance at his back.
When the minister says do you
take this woman for better or for
worse| what does he mean?
The bridegroom's people construe
it one way, and the brides family
interpret it another. 1t is very sad.
When man says he can manage
his wife, what does he mean?
