Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.

Marriage is a core institution of societies throughout the world and throughout history. It's something that has provided permanence and stability for our very social structure.

Stability is why society has an interest in marriage.

Marriage is a commitment for life. It is a permanent, lifelong relationship.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.

Morality is only moral when it is voluntary.

A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.

Marriage helps young couples to raise themselves towards God. The bond of marriage unites two souls so firmly that though they are physically two separate entities, their souls are merged into one harmonious whole.

The simplest formula for the new conception of morality, which is beginning to be opposed to the moral dogma still esteemed by all society, but especially by the women, might be summed up in these words: Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.

Marriage, in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other, but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have.
