It is not always possible or even right for a man to make his wife number one in his life. This is due to the nature of his life. His number one responsibility is to provide the living.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success.
Ideally, couples need three lives; one for him, one for her, and one for them together.
It is a mistake for women to think that life begins only with marriage. A woman can and must have an identity and feel useful, valued, and needed whether she is single or married. She must feel that she can do something for someone else that no one else ever born can do.
The husband and wife are one, and that one is the husband.
Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends.
Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
Marriage is a mistake every man should make.
There isn't a wife in the world who has not taken the exact measure of her husband, weighed him and settled him in her own mind, and knows him as well as if she had ordered him after designs and specifications of her own.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
