Look at marriage as a divine plan for mutual compensation--each
making up for the deficiencies of the other, somewhat as the
two lenses of crown-glass and flint-glass combine in the
achromatic lens. What one has the other has not, and so, by
association, each gets the advantage of the other’s capacity,
and finds relief from conscious lack and incompetency.--A.
T. PIERSON.
