+
+MARRIAGE AND LOVE
+
+
+The popular notion about marriage and love is that they are synonymous,
+that they spring from the same motives, and cover the same human needs.
+Like most popular notions this also rests not on actual facts, but on
+superstition.
+
+Marriage and love have nothing in common; they are as far apart as the
+poles; are, in fact, antagonistic to each other. No doubt some marriages
+have been the result of love. Not, however, because love could assert
+itself only in marriage; much rather is it because few people can
+completely outgrow a convention. There are today large numbers of men
+and women to whom marriage is naught but a farce, but who submit to it
+for the sake of public opinion. At any rate, while it is true that some
+marriages are based on love, and while it is equally true that in some
+cases love continues in married life, I maintain that it does so
+regardless of marriage, and not because of it.
+
+On the other hand, it is utterly false that love results from marriage.
+On rare occasions one does hear of a miraculous case of a married couple
+falling in love after marriage, but on close examination it will be
+found that it is a mere adjustment to the inevitable. Certainly the
+growing-used to each other is far away from the spontaneity, the
+intensity, and beauty of love, without which the intimacy of marriage
+must prove degrading to both the woman and the man.
+
+Marriage is primarily an economic arrangement, an insurance pact. It
+differs from the ordinary life insurance agreement only in that it is
+more binding, more exacting. Its returns are insignificantly small
+compared with the investments. In taking out an insurance policy one
+pays for it in dollars and cents, always at liberty to discontinue
+payments. If, however, woman's premium is a husband, she pays for it
+with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, "until
+death doth part." Moreover, the marriage insurance condemns her to
+life-long dependency, to parasitism, to complete uselessness, individual
+as well as social. Man, too, pays his toll, but as his sphere is wider,
+marriage does not limit him as much as woman. He feels his chains more
+in an economic sense.
+
+Thus Dante's motto over Inferno applies with equal force to marriage.
+"Ye who enter here leave all hope behind."
+
+That marriage is a failure none but the very stupid will deny. One has
+but to glance over the statistics of divorce to realize how bitter a
+failure marriage really is. Nor will the stereotyped Philistine argument
+that the laxity of divorce laws and the growing looseness of woman
+account for the fact that: first, every twelfth marriage ends in
+divorce; second, that since 1870 divorces have increased from 28 to 73
+for every hundred thousand population; third, that adultery, since 1867,
+as ground for divorce, has increased 270.8 per cent.; fourth, that
+desertion increased 369.8 per cent.
+
+Added to these startling figures is a vast amount of material, dramatic
+and literary, further elucidating this subject. Robert Herrick, in
+_Together_; Pinero, in _Mid-Channel_; Eugene Walter, in _Paid in Full_,
+and scores of other writers are discussing the barrenness, the monotony,
+the sordidness, the inadequacy of marriage as a factor for harmony and
+understanding.
+
+The thoughtful social student will not content himself with the popular
+superficial excuse for this phenomenon. He will have to dig down deeper
+into the very life of the sexes to know why marriage proves so
+disastrous.
+
+Edward Carpenter says that behind every marriage stands the life-long
+environment of the two sexes; an environment so different from each
+other that man and woman must remain strangers. Separated by an
+insurmountable wall of superstition, custom, and habit, marriage has not
+the potentiality of developing knowledge of, and respect for, each
+other, without which every union is doomed to failure.
+
+Henrik Ibsen, the hater of all social shams, was probably the first to
+realize this great truth. Nora leaves her husband, not--as the stupid
+critic would have it--because she is tired of her responsibilities or
+feels the need of woman's rights, but because she has come to know that
+for eight years she had lived with a stranger and borne him children.
+Can there be anything more humiliating, more degrading than a life-long
+proximity between two strangers? No need for the woman to know anything
+of the man, save his income. As to the knowledge of the woman--what is
+there to know except that she has a pleasing appearance? We have not yet
+outgrown the theologic myth that woman has no soul, that she is a mere
+appendix to man, made out of his rib just for the convenience of the
+gentleman who was so strong that he was afraid of his own shadow.
+
+Perchance the poor quality of the material whence woman comes is
+responsible for her inferiority. At any rate, woman has no soul--what is
+there to know about her? Besides, the less soul a woman has the greater
+her asset as a wife, the more readily will she absorb herself in her
+husband. It is this slavish acquiescence to man's superiority that has
+kept the marriage institution seemingly intact for so long a period. Now
+that woman is coming into her own, now that she is actually growing
+aware of herself as a being outside of the master's grace, the sacred
+institution of marriage is gradually being undermined, and no amount of
+sentimental lamentation can stay it.
+
+From infancy, almost, the average girl is told that marriage is her
+ultimate goal; therefore her training and education must be directed
+towards that end. Like the mute beast fattened for slaughter, she is
+prepared for that. Yet, strange to say, she is allowed to know much less
+about her function as wife and mother than the ordinary artisan of his
+trade. It is indecent and filthy for a respectable girl to know anything
+of the marital relation. Oh, for the inconsistency of respectability,
+that needs the marriage vow to turn something which is filthy into the
+purest and most sacred arrangement that none dare question or criticize.
+Yet that is exactly the attitude of the average upholder of marriage.
+The prospective wife and mother is kept in complete ignorance of her
+only asset in the competitive field--sex. Thus she enters into life-long
+relations with a man only to find herself shocked, repelled, outraged
+beyond measure by the most natural and healthy instinct, sex. It is safe
+to say that a large percentage of the unhappiness, misery, distress, and
+physical suffering of matrimony is due to the criminal ignorance in sex
+matters that is being extolled as a great virtue. Nor is it at all an
+exaggeration when I say that more than one home has been broken up
+because of this deplorable fact.
+
+
+If, however, woman is free and big enough to learn the mystery of sex
+without the sanction of State or Church, she will stand condemned as
+utterly unfit to become the wife of a "good" man, his goodness
+consisting of an empty brain and plenty of money. Can there be anything
+more outrageous than the idea that a healthy, grown woman, full of life
+and passion, must deny nature's demand, must subdue her most intense
+craving, undermine her health and break her spirit, must stunt her
+vision, abstain from the depth and glory of sex experience until a
+"good" man comes along to take her unto himself as a wife? That is
+precisely what marriage means. How can such an arrangement end except in
+failure? This is one, though not the least important, factor of
+marriage, which differentiates it from love.
+
+Ours is a practical age. The time when Romeo and Juliet risked the wrath
+of their fathers for love, when Gretchen exposed herself to the gossip
+of her neighbors for love, is no more. If, on rare occasions, young
+people allow themselves the luxury of romance, they are taken in care by
+the elders, drilled and pounded until they become "sensible."
+
+The moral lesson instilled in the girl is not whether the man has
+aroused her love, but rather is it, "How much?" The important and only
+God of practical American life: Can the man make a living? can he
+support a wife? That is the only thing that justifies marriage.
+Gradually this saturates every thought of the girl; her dreams are not
+of moonlight and kisses, of laughter and tears; she dreams of shopping
+tours and bargain counters. This soul poverty and sordidness are the
+elements inherent in the marriage institution. The State and the Church
+approve of no other ideal, simply because it is the one that
+necessitates the State and Church control of men and women.
+
+Doubtless there are people who continue to consider love above dollars
+and cents. Particularly is this true of that class whom economic
+necessity has forced to become self-supporting. The tremendous change in
+woman's position, wrought by that mighty factor, is indeed phenomenal
+when we reflect that it is but a short time since she has entered the
+industrial arena. Six million women wage workers; six million women, who
+have the equal right with men to be exploited, to be robbed, to go on
+strike; aye, to starve even. Anything more, my lord? Yes, six million
+wage workers in every walk of life, from the highest brain work to the
+mines and railroad tracks; yes, even detectives and policemen. Surely
+the emancipation is complete.
+
+Yet with all that, but a very small number of the vast army of women
+wage workers look upon work as a permanent issue, in the same light as
+does man. No matter how decrepit the latter, he has been taught to be
+independent, self-supporting. Oh, I know that no one is really
+independent in our economic treadmill; still, the poorest specimen of a
+man hates to be a parasite; to be known as such, at any rate.
+
+The woman considers her position as worker transitory, to be thrown
+aside for the first bidder. That is why it is infinitely harder to
+organize women than men. "Why should I join a union? I am going to get
+married, to have a home." Has she not been taught from infancy to look
+upon that as her ultimate calling? She learns soon enough that the home,
+though not so large a prison as the factory, has more solid doors and
+bars. It has a keeper so faithful that naught can escape him. The most
+tragic part, however, is that the home no longer frees her from wage
+slavery; it only increases her task.
+
+According to the latest statistics submitted before a Committee "on
+labor and wages, and congestion of population," ten per cent. of the
+wage workers in New York City alone are married, yet they must continue
+to work at the most poorly paid labor in the world. Add to this horrible
+aspect the drudgery of housework, and what remains of the protection and
+glory of the home? As a matter of fact, even the middle-class girl in
+marriage can not speak of her home, since it is the man who creates her
+sphere. It is not important whether the husband is a brute or a
+darling. What I wish to prove is that marriage guarantees woman a home
+only by the grace of her husband. There she moves about in _his_ home,
+year after year, until her aspect of life and human affairs becomes as
+flat, narrow, and drab as her surroundings. Small wonder if she becomes
+a nag, petty, quarrelsome, gossipy, unbearable, thus driving the man
+from the house. She could not go, if she wanted to; there is no place to
+go. Besides, a short period of married life, of complete surrender of
+all faculties, absolutely incapacitates the average woman for the
+outside world. She becomes reckless in appearance, clumsy in her
+movements, dependent in her decisions, cowardly in her judgment, a
+weight and a bore, which most men grow to hate and despise. Wonderfully
+inspiring atmosphere for the bearing of life, is it not?
+
+But the child, how is it to be protected, if not for marriage? After
+all, is not that the most important consideration? The sham, the
+hypocrisy of it! Marriage protecting the child, yet thousands of
+children destitute and homeless. Marriage protecting the child, yet
+orphan asylums and reformatories overcrowded, the Society for the
+Prevention of Cruelty to Children keeping busy in rescuing the little
+victims from "loving" parents, to place them under more loving care, the
+Gerry Society. Oh, the mockery of it!
+
+Marriage may have the power to bring the horse to water, but has it ever
+made him drink? The law will place the father under arrest, and put him
+in convict's clothes; but has that ever stilled the hunger of the child?
+If the parent has no work, or if he hides his identity, what does
+marriage do then? It invokes the law to bring the man to "justice," to
+put him safely behind closed doors; his labor, however, goes not to the
+child, but to the State. The child receives but a blighted memory of its
+father's stripes.
+
+As to the protection of the woman,--therein lies the curse of marriage.
+Not that it really protects her, but the very idea is so revolting, such
+an outrage and insult on life, so degrading to human dignity, as to
+forever condemn this parasitic institution.
+
+It is like that other paternal arrangement--capitalism. It robs man of
+his birthright, stunts his growth, poisons his body, keeps him in
+ignorance, in poverty, and dependence, and then institutes charities
+that thrive on the last vestige of man's self-respect.
+
+The institution of marriage makes a parasite of woman, an absolute
+dependent. It incapacitates her for life's struggle, annihilates her
+social consciousness, paralyzes her imagination, and then imposes its
+gracious protection, which is in reality a snare, a travesty on human
+character.
+
+If motherhood is the highest fulfillment of woman's nature, what other
+protection does it need, save love and freedom? Marriage but defiles,
+outrages, and corrupts her fulfillment. Does it not say to woman, Only
+when you follow me shall you bring forth life? Does it not condemn her
+to the block, does it not degrade and shame her if she refuses to buy
+her right to motherhood by selling herself? Does not marriage only
+sanction motherhood, even though conceived in hatred, in compulsion?
+Yet, if motherhood be of free choice, of love, of ecstasy, of defiant
+passion, does it not place a crown of thorns upon an innocent head and
+carve in letters of blood the hideous epithet, Bastard? Were marriage to
+contain all the virtues claimed for it, its crimes against motherhood
+would exclude it forever from the realm of love.
+
+
+Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of
+hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all
+conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful moulder of human
+destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that
+poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage?
+
+
+Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but
+all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued
+bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man
+has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love.
+Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly
+helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp
+his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him
+by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life
+and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king.
+Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere. In freedom it
+gives itself unreservedly, abundantly, completely. All the laws on the
+statutes, all the courts in the universe, cannot tear it from the soil,
+once love has taken root. If, however, the soil is sterile, how can
+marriage make it bear fruit? It is like the last desperate struggle of
+fleeting life against death.
+
+Love needs no protection; it is its own protection. So long as love
+begets life no child is deserted, or hungry, or famished for the want of
+affection. I know this to be true. I know women who became mothers in
+freedom by the men they loved. Few children in wedlock enjoy the care,
+the protection, the devotion free motherhood is capable of bestowing.
+
+
+The defenders of authority dread the advent of a free motherhood, lest
+it will rob them of their prey. Who would fight wars? Who would create
+wealth? Who would make the policeman, the jailer, if woman were to
+refuse the indiscriminate breeding of children? The race, the race!
+shouts the king, the president, the capitalist, the priest. The race
+must be preserved, though woman be degraded to a mere machine,--and the
+marriage institution is our only safety valve against the pernicious sex
+awakening of woman. But in vain these frantic efforts to maintain a
+state of bondage. In vain, too, the edicts of the Church, the mad
+attacks of rulers, in vain even the arm of the law. Woman no longer
+wants to be a party to the production of a race of sickly, feeble,
+decrepit, wretched human beings, who have neither the strength nor moral
+courage to throw off the yoke of poverty and slavery. Instead she
+desires fewer and better children, begotten and reared in love and
+through free choice; not by compulsion, as marriage imposes. Our
+pseudo-moralists have yet to learn the deep sense of responsibility
+toward the child, that love in freedom has awakened in the breast of
+woman. Rather would she forego forever the glory of motherhood than
+bring forth life in an atmosphere that breathes only destruction and
+death. And if she does become a mother, it is to give to the child the
+deepest and best her being can yield. To grow with the child is her
+motto; she knows that in that manner alone can she help build true
+manhood and womanhood.
+
+
+Ibsen must have had a vision of a free mother, when, with a master
+stroke, he portrayed Mrs. Alving. She was the ideal mother because she
+had outgrown marriage and all its horrors, because she had broken her
+chains, and set her spirit free to soar until it returned a personality,
+regenerated and strong. Alas, it was too late to rescue her life's joy,
+her Oswald; but not too late to realize that love in freedom is the only
+condition of a beautiful life. Those who, like Mrs. Alving, have paid
+with blood and tears for their spiritual awakening, repudiate marriage
+as an imposition, a shallow, empty mockery. They know, whether love last
+but one brief span of time or for eternity, it is the only creative,
+inspiring, elevating basis for a new race, a new world.
+
+
+In our present pygmy state love is indeed a stranger to most people.
+Misunderstood and shunned, it rarely takes root; or if it does, it soon
+withers and dies. Its delicate fiber can not endure the stress and
+strain of the daily grind. Its soul is too complex to adjust itself to
+the slimy woof of our social fabric. It weeps and moans and suffers with
+those who have need of it, yet lack the capacity to rise to love's
+summit.
+
+Some day, some day men and women will rise, they will reach the mountain
+peak, they will meet big and strong and free, ready to receive, to
+partake, and to bask in the golden rays of love. What fancy, what
+imagination, what poetic genius can foresee even approximately the
+potentialities of such a force in the life of men and women. If the
+world is ever to give birth to true companionship and oneness, not
+marriage, but love will be the parent.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
