riage with the man you love be-
cause you did not voluntarily enter
into a contract with her whereby
you agreed to live up to your part of
the bargain. You had nothing to do
with your entrance into this vale OF
tears. She gave you no right of
choice. Therefore, when you be-

entered into a legal agreement
which you are honor bound to keep
as long as he lives up to his part
of the contract.

forced you to make, you called an
other life for which you are jointly
responsible. You made these ties

choose your parents.
