Before young people take upon themselves the responsibilities of husband and wife they should understand that there is no more important step between the cradle and the grave than marriage, that it is the proper way for nature to develop self control, patience, industry, and strengthen all their virtues, that a true marriage is a perfect union of the body and spirit, and that there are many heavy responsibilities they will have to carry for their obligations are not alone to themselves and each other, but they owe duties to their Creator, to their fellow beings, anc to yet unborn humanity.
