Excerpt from The Wives of England: Their Relative Duties, Domestic Influence, & Social ObligationsIn the first place, then, I would ask, are you about to bring to the altar, and to offer, in the sight of God, a faithful and devoted heart? To answer with a mere expression of belief, is not sufficient here. There must be certainty on this point, if not on any other. There are many tests by which this important fact may be ascertained, and of these I shall particularize a few. The first is, whom are you loving l - the man who stands before you with all his imperfections on his head' - his faults of temper, follies, in. Consistencies, and past misdeeds! Is this the man you love? Or is it some ideal and perfect being whom you will fail to recognise in the husband of your after life! If the lat ter case be yours, go back, and wait, for your acquaintance has yet to be formed on the only sure basis - that of honesty and truth, and you might as safely unite yourself with a being you had never seen before, as with one whom you had seen without having known or understood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
