Mating is purely an act of self-perpetuation associated with varying degrees of self-gratification; marriage, [[home]] building, is largely a matter of self-maintenance, and it implies the [[evolution]] of [[society]]. Society itself is the aggregated [[structure]] of family units. Individuals are very temporary as planetary factors--only families are continuing agencies in social evolution. The family is the channel through which the river of [[culture]] and [[knowledge]] flows from one generation to another.
