True love is a high and holy principle, altogether different in character from that love which is awakened by impulse and which suddenly dies when severely tested. It is by faithfulness to duty in the parental home that the youth are to prepare themselves for homes of their own. Let them here practice self-denial and manifest kindness, courtesy, and Christian sympathy. Thus love will be kept warm in the heart, and he who goes out from such a household to stand at the head of a family of his own will know how to promote the happiness of her whom he has chosen as a companion for life. Marriage, instead of being the end of love, will be only its beginning.

Er der noget, der bør omhyggeligt overvejes, og hvori man burde søge ældre og erfarne menneskers råd, så er det ægteskabet. Dersom man nogensinde behøver Bibelen som rådgiver og nogensinde burde søge Guds vejledning i bøn, så er det, før man tager det skridt, der binder to mennesker sammen for hele livet.
