At no time did she participate in or condone teachings which called for a sort of platonic brother and sister relationship in marriage. When dealing with some who pressed teachings of this nature, Ellen White counseled against urging such views. To dwell on them, she wrote, opened the way for Satan to work “upon the imagination so that impurity” instead of purity would result.— Letter 103, 1894.{1MCP 220.2}

På intet tidspunkt deltog hun i eller samtykkede i lære som kaldes en slags platonisk bror eller søsterforhold i ægteskabet. Når Ellen White skriver med nogen som fremhæver den slags lære, fraråder hun at fremhæve sådanne synspunkter. At bo hos dem, skrev hun, at vejen åbnes for Satans virke"på fantasien så at urenhed" i stedet for renhed ville være resultatet. -Brev 103, 1894.
