The author's comment on the etiquette of married life: "Marriage to the elect may be fitly termed a state of grace, but without a close observance of all the courtesies that tend to uplife everyday life in some degree above the narrowness of mere existence it may but too easily become what the old cynic declared it to be when he wrote: "Marriage is a feast in which the grace is sometimes better than the dinner."... "The wife who dresses for her husband's sake, who reads that she may qualify herself for conversation with him, who makes him the chief end of her cares, and the husband who brings home from the outside world some of its life and animation to share with her, who has a loving interest in all that she has done for his pleasure, and, if wealth be a stranger at their door, have solved for themselves the problem of married happiness, and found it to be a condition wherein every joy is doubled and every sorrow halved". |
