to marry or not to marry: for men and women

"Oh, if you ever marry, don't make the mistake of treating the woman as an ideal. Treat her in every way as a human being exactly like yourself! With the same weakness, the same struggles, the same temptations! And as you have some mercy on yourself despite your faults, have some mercy on her despite hers."

- James Allen Lane's (1849-1925) The Choir Invisible (New York: Macmillan, 1897). 


May married men take this to heart, as well as bachelors.
