THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE - LIVING TODAY AND TOMORROW

THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE - 

LIVING TODAY AND TOMORROW

by Wm. Henry Cash, Jr  1949

1927 - 2012 

"To marry in haste" means "to repent at Leisure."

No marriage can reach its highest potentialities if the sex element

is ignored.

If both young people are not willing to overlook the other's weakness while trying to correct his own, 

his marriage will fail.

There should not be any serious religious

differences between the two young people.

---

Two people who are emotionally

unstable should not marry.

All engaged couples should very

carefully consider the aspects of marriage

before they take a step that they

may later regret.

If it is impossible to agree on matters 

before marriage, it will be more difficult afterwards.

Marriage is probably the most important,

as well as the most DIFFICULT career 

that anyone can possibly follow but the 

establishment of a happy and successful

home is within anyone's reach.

People who are emotionally 

unstable need to take care to 

prepare themselves 

BEFORE

MARRIAGE

to learn discipline,

or they face the possibility

of wrecking their

future home life.

Whatever the situation may be, it should be

discussed frankly and honestly, and all problems

agreed upon before marriage. 

The number of children and when

the family is to begin are matters 

to be settled before marriage.   

    

Henry Cash's Thoughts On Marriage 

A true home is the greatest educational

institution in the world.

It is wise that both young people belong to

the same denomination before marrying.

Parents and relatives of newly-weds should

not interfere with the affairs of the new home.

Newly-weds should accept the advice 

of those who have had years of 

experience, but not accept their word

as final until after much consideration.
