PSYCHOLOGY OF SEXRoman Catholicism and Evangelical Protestantism)marriageshould be definitely discouraged. The wife is todayno longer a purely domestic creature, with no interestsoutside the home, and it is not easy to imagine a satisfactorymarriage in which there is no general agreement concerningthe larger movements of social life in the world,whatever difference there must inevitably be concerningmatters of method and detail.It must always be remembered that all counsel concerningthe advisability of a particular marriage is simply anattempt to foretell something which cannot be known beforehandwith certainty. The couple, especially ifyoung,will not be tomorrow altogether the same as today. AsExner well puts it, "psychologic marriage, marriage as ais an achievement betweencreative personal relationship,mates and is not necessarily entered into at the wedding."It is often a very slow achievement, years of gradual progressmay be needed before a relationship which can becalled marriage in the full and deep sense is reached. Itnever be reached at all.mayThere are many persons who, for some personal reason,cannot be advised to marry. Others for hereditary andeugenic reasons may be permitted to marry but not toprocreate; in such cases by far the best method of contraceptionis sterilization of the husband.BIBLIOGRAPHYMAYO FOUNDATION LECTURES, 1923-4, Our Present Knowledgeof Heredity.LEONARD DARWIN, Eugenic Reform.K.
