With your sensitive romance, with your morbid cravings for the ideal, domestic happiness would soon grow trite and dull.

You would demand new excitement, and become a restless and disgusted man.

It is necessary for you to get rid of all the false fever of life, before you settle down to everlasting ties.

You do not yet know your own mind; you would choose your partner from some visionary caprice, or momentary impulse, and not from the deep and accurate knowledge of those qualities which would most harmonize with your own character.

People, to live happily with each other, must _fit in_, as it were--the proud be mated with the meek, the irritable with the gentle, and so forth.
