[1]The popular notion about marriage, that it springs from the same motives, and covers the same human needs is synonymous with love. [2]Like most popular notions this also rests not on actual facts, but on superstition.
[3]Marriage and love have nothing in common. [4]They are as far apart as the poles are; in fact, antagonistic to each other. [5]No doubt some marriages have been the result of love. [6]Not love could assert itself only in marriage; much rather it is because few people can completely outgrow a convention. [7]There are today large numbers of men and women to whom marriage is nothing but a farce, but who submit to marriage for the sake of public opinion. [8]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.
[9]Marriage is primarily an economic arrangement, an insurance pact. [10]It differs from the ordinary life insurance agreement only in that it is more binding, more exacting. [11]Its returns are insignificantly small compared with the investments. [12]If you take out an insurance policy, dollars and cents must be paid by you. [13] If woman's premium, however, is her husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life. [14] Man too pays his toll, but as his sphere is wider, marriage does not limit him as much as woman.
