Excerpt from The Road Together: A Contemporaneous Drama in Four ActsThe spiritual level which any marriage achieves depends largely upon the quality of those who make it. Whatever its social import, of which few are delib erately conscious, it is essentially an affair of indi viduals. As they are and as they react to each other, so will the marriage be. Since it is only in marriage that society offers free and complete expression between them, it is there that the individual man and woman are most tested, most realized, and most offended.If one considers the strangeness of sex - with its vagrancy and variation - and the tremulous psychic in heritances which uncontrollably veer our acts and emo tions, one can only have deep charity when marriage ends in disillusion, and infinite wonder when it reaches rich fulfilment. Yet marriage endures somehow be tween these two extremes. Its bonds are obvious when based upon religious conviction, the responsibilities of children, the fear of admitting failure, and the pres sure of convention. But the subtle and powerful bond, I believe, is that which is made by the daily habit of living together.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
