Infatuation a Poor Ground for Marriage—These hours of midnight dissipation, in this age of depravity, frequently lead to the ruin of both parties thus engaged. Satan exults and God is dishonored when men and women dishonor themselves. The good name of honor is sacrificed under the spell of this infatuation, and the marriage of such persons cannot be solemnized under the approval of God. They are married because passion moved them, and when the novelty of the affair is over, they will begin to realize what they have done.—The Review and Herald, September 25, 1888. (The Adventist Home, 56.) {1MCP 296.3}

Forgabelse er et usselt grundlag for ægteskab. - Disse midnattens timer, som forødes i vor fordærvede tid, leder hyppigt til ødelæggelse af begge parter, som således misbruger tiden. Satan fryder sig og Gud vanæres, når mænd og kvinder kaster skam over sig selv. Deres gode navn opofres ved disse udslag af forelskelse, og sådanne menneskers ægteskab sker ikke med Guds billigelse. De gifter sig, fordi lidenskaberne driver dem dertil, og når nyhedens interesse er forbi, vil de begynde at forstå, hvad de har gjort. - RH, 25. sept., 1888. (AH 56.)
