Natural Reason Looks at Marriage
Note that when natural reason (whom the heathen have followed when they wanted to be very wise), looks at married life, she turns up her nose and says: "Ah, should I rock the baby, wash diapers, make the bed, smell foul odors, watch through the night, wait upon the bawling youngster and heal its infected sores, then take care of the wife, support her by working, tend to this, tend to that, do this, do that, suffer this, suffer that, and put up with whatever additional displeasure and trouble married life brings? Should I be so imprisoned?"
