THE SELECTION OF PARTNERS IN MARRIAGE. 27
must also observe carefully the nature and functions
of
these three entities in ourselves.
If
these three could be perfected, there would be no
danger, provided men and women were left free to
make their own choice ;
but the cases are very few
where these natures are perfected: however, it more
frequently occurs with women than with men, from
the fact that girls are taught, from their childhood, to
control their passional nature, through which control
the intuitions are largely matured. But taking men
and women in the present conditions of life, we shall
be enabled to judge correctly from the following indications
: When
a young
man and woman are in each
other's society, they should watch their sensations carefully,
and where they feel a strong magnetic attraction,
sometimes amounting to a passion for each other which
ceases soon after they are separated (unless, perhaps, it
should continue to affect the sexual nature), they may
rest assured that this arises wholly from mere physical
attraction, or from the animal nature.
When two marry on that plane, it is certain to result
in inharmony.
Second, if, while in such association, the two find
great intellectual enjoyment, without any particular
sacredness of the spiritual nature, the results of marriage
would be varied, but are not usually good in such
cases ; for, while there is mental harmony, there may
not be adaptability in the chemical combinations of
their physical bodies, or unity in their spiritual natures
; though sometimes they get along fairly by living
as brother and sister ; yet, in the main, the results
are more evil than good.
