had the experience of feeling that it would be impossible to live without another, and has failed to get that particular one, and has later been profoundly grateful that he or she was unsuccessful.
One is sometimes carried away by the passion of love or stubbornness and makes a mistake, but nevertheless I hold to my answer, namely, that you love another well enough to marry when you are sure that he or she does not bore you, and never will, that you could spend eternity together and not be bored, when you feel an interior congeniality as to the other's person and views and character, when you can welcome gladly the thought of having the other the parent of your children.
