purely sexual ends. Nature wants
babies and therefore she makes
the approach to parenthood an
easy and glorified trail. But when
her purpose IL completed she
wastes no more gilt.
So the glory Of dawning love
didn't last and wasn't meant to
last. And the ecstasy we thought
to perpetuate and increase by mar.
riage failed US. We found our
selves back where we were In the
beginning with our loneliness un.

working havoc with our lives.
And this ID inevitable. Nothing
can ever completely cure our lone.
illness. for Man IL a lonely animal,
and he treads e lone trail on his
long journey. No matter how
many voices there are In our
lives. or touches on our hands,
our real spirits, hidden deep be.
yond our own ken, remain still
and untouched.
And for that same reason we
are usually restless and dis
contented and peevish. No house
us. We must always be on our
way-always turning from that
which we have and reaching out
for something we cannot see.
Wandering stars.
Marriage cannot cure an ache
like that. Nor should we expect
marriage to cure it. Marriage,
at the best, can only give US an
abiding place and a partner.
Some place to hide from the dust
and noise. some one to face
2 the silence with US. And that is
wonderful enough. We should
take it and be glad. We should
be merciful to each other and not
complain because man-made
union is not great enough to
stem the restless tides OF In
finity.

the marriage OF every daughter
means that the parents Of the

be ideal if the parents Of the
bride could sincerely assure the
son.in.law that they are happy at
having him In the family and
that they are deeply happy In
welcoming him. OF course, what
the parents say depends on their
enthusiasm for the bridegroom,
but they should not omit to
express their fluctuations ana

one will finish all the unfinished
things in our lives, round Off the
hard corners, and heal the hurts.
There IL reason for this ex-
pectation.
When love first comes to us,
miracles seem to start.
We are excited-made stronger
and more eager-there seems to be
more blood In our veins and more
light in the sky. We understand
and are understood az we have
never been before. Power Is at
last released in US. Courage
breaks through our cowardice and
poetry through our dizziness.
At last we are ready to do the
great things we have desired.
Love has worked this mir.
aclew we cry to ourselves. "If

restricted intimacy Of courtship
