      Searching for a Soul Mate Is Futile. The Ideal Partner Is the One You Create

      May 20, 2017

      “GIVEN THAT YOU HAVE 500,000,000 POTENTIAL soul mates,” writes Randall Munroe in the science book What If?, “you would find true love only in one lifetime out of 10,000.” A cousin of mine gave a toast along these lines at his brother’s wedding. He c

      Love

      Mar 7, 2022

      Love is a word which covers a variety of feelings; I have used it purposely, as I wish to include them all. Love as an emotion – which is what I am speaking about, for love ‘on principle’ does not seem to me genuine – moves between two poles: on one

      CONTENTS

      FOREWORD

      RRIAGE is a subject of interest to all adults, and at one time in almost every life it is the vision that fills the horizon.

      To many it is a mirage.

      To a few it proves to be the hills from whence cometh their strength. The rising sun of romance tips every blade of grass, every leaf and flower and twig, with the mystery and miracle of color and perfume.

      The noonday light reveals truth that the half-light of the dawn could not show.

      And evening twilight garners all the richness of marriage.

      The purpose of this book is to enlighten by bringing into the light of day experiences that must come into the lives of women and men.

      —Alice Hubbard.

      The Myth in Marriage

      There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.—Emerson.

      ROMANCE

      The object of love expands and grows before us to eternity, until it includes all that is lovely, and we become all that can love.—Thoreau.

      ARRIAGE, although a most common incident in life, is understood as little as is birth, life and death. People are perpetually ignorant on the subject, and insist upon remaining in this state until the veil of their temple is rent in twain, and their holy of holies has daylight thrown upon it.

      Love is a sacred mystery whose secret is as yet locked away from mortals. We recognize a few of its manifestations and dream of its power. We connect it in our thoughts with marriage and birth, but we assume its presence: we do not bring proof.

      Love is spirit, and can not be analyzed nor understood.

      The most that man can apprehend of it is to know its absence or its presence. Its most refined manifestations have come to us with the development of intellect.

      There are only a
