    MARRIAGE: CONTRARY VIEWS. “ With most marriages it is not long till things assume a very piteous look.—Goethe. “ .Is for Browning's lore towards his wife, nothing more tender and chivalrous has ever been told of ideal lovers in an ideal romance. It is so beautiful a story that one often prefers it to the .sweetest or loftiest poem that came from the lips of either. —William Sharp, Life of Robert Browning. “ .4s soon as women urc ours me are no longer theirs.— Montaigne. “ Aye, marriage is the life-long miracle, The self-begetting uonder, daily fresh.” Charles Kingsley, The Saints' Tragedy. “ Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures.” —Dr. Johnson. “ It goes far toward reconciling me to being a woman when l reflect that I am thus in no immediate danger of ever marrying one.”—Lady Woutley Montagu. Thin is nothing real in the world but love.' J. S. Mill. “ Marriage is a desperate thing. The frogs in jEsop were extremely wise; they had a great mind to some water, but they would not leap into the well, because they could not get out again.—Selden. The married relationship is at once physical and spiritual, and can only come to its fullness if the couple arc one soul and one flesh. If the spiritual element is lacking, bodily union becomes a degradation. If the bodily is lacking, the spiritual can never reach its true completeness, and the marriage remains on the level of an intimate friendship.— Tho Relation of the Sexes,” Report presented to the Conference on Christian Politics, Economics und Citizenship.
