Matrimony is after all but the response of human natureto the universal laws of polarity, of attraction and repulsion,of mutual interchange of vibrations. A body that is attractedto another is negative to it, and after attraction, becomespositively charged, and when saturation point is reached it isrepelled. If marriage began and ended with this series of operations, there would be much misery in the world. Truemarriage is grounded in a deep sympathy and understandingwhich ahs no selfish ends to serve and no desire to satisfythat is not mutual. Friendship is the Divine basis of all purehuman relationships, conjugality or cohabitation in thehuman-animal part of it, and amativeness is the merelyphysical aspect. All Nature springs forth in its due seasonand bears its leaf and flower and fruit, and having fruited, itbegins to die down to its roots. In marriage relations if thatroot be a spiritual and intellectual friendship finding continualexpression in sympathy and understanding, then withoutdoubt it will outlive the varied assaults of any misfortunesthat may happen. But without this grappling hook of triedfriendship the connubial ship is almost sure to drift, and bysad fate may be broken on the rocks. The tree of human lifeis rooted in the soil of its mother earth, but its branches reachup towards heaven, whence also it receives its threefoldbenison of sunshine, air and rain, without which it cannotprosper.
