6.  All men feel much better for going a courting, providing they court purely.  Nothing tears the life out of man more than lust, vulgar thoughts and immoral conduct.  The libertine or harlot has changed love, God’s purest gift to man, into lust.  They cannot acquire love in its purity again, the sacred flame has vanished forever.  Love is pure, and cannot be found in the heart of a seducer.

7.  A woman is never so bright and full of health as when deeply in love.  Many sickly and frail women are snatched from the clutches of some deadly disease and restored to health by falling in love.

8.  It is a long established fact that married persons are healthier than unmarried persons; thus it proves that health and happiness belong to the home.  Health depends upon mind.  Love places the mind into a delightful state and quickens every human function, makes the blood circulate and weaves threads of joy into cables of domestic love.

9.  An old but true proverb:  “A true man loving one woman will speak well of all women.  A true woman loving one man will speak well of all men.  A good wife praises all men, but praises her husband most.  A good man praises all women, but praises his wife most.”

10.  Persons deeply in love become peculiarly pleasant, winning and tender.  It is said that a musician can never excel or an artist do his best until he has been deeply in love.  A good orator, a great statesman or great men in general are greater and better for having once been thoroughly in love.  A man who truly loves his wife and home is always a safe man to trust.

11.  Love makes people look younger in years.  People in unhappy homes look older and more worn and fatigued.  A woman at thirty, well courted and well married, looks five or ten years younger than a woman of the same age unhappily married.  Old maids and bachelors always look older than they are.  A flirting widow always looks younger than an old maid of like age.

12.  Love renders women industrious and frugal, and a loving husband spends lavishly on a loved wife and children, though miserly towards others.

13.  Love cultivates self-respect and produces beauty.  Beauty in walk and beauty in looks; a girl in love is at her best; it brings out the finest traits of her character, she walks more erect and is more generous and forgiving; her voice is sweeter and she makes happy all about her.  She works better, sings better and is better.

14.  Now in conclusion, a love marriage is the best life insurance policy; it pays dividends every day, while every other insurance policy merely promises to pay after death.  Remember that statistics demonstrate that married people outlive old maids and old bachelors by a goodly number of years and enjoy healthier and happier lives.
