“ DO NOT MARRY MERELY FOR THE IMPULSE OF LOVE.—Love is a principle as well as an emotion. So far as it is a sentiment it is a blind guide. It does not wait to test the presence of exalted character in its object before breaking out into a flame. Shavings make a hot fire, but hard coal is better for the Winter. ”
B. G. Jefferis and J. L. Nichols, Searchlights on Health — Marriage Securities (1919)
“ SEEK EACH OTHER'S HAPPINESS.—A selfish marriage that seeks only its own happiness defeats itself. Happiness is a fire that will not burn long on one stick.2. DO NOT MARRY SUDDENLY.—It can always be done till it is done, if it is a proper thing to do. ”

“ A GOOD, LONG COURTSHIP will often cure many difficulties or ills of the sexual organs. O.S. Fowler says: "See each other often spend many pleasant hours together," have many walks and talks, think of each other while absent, write many love letters, be inspired to many love feelings and acts towards each other, and exercise your sexuality in a thousand forms ten thousand times, every one of which tones up and thereby recuperates this very element now dilapidated. When you have courted long enough to marry, you will be sufficiently restored to be reimproved by it. ”
