84:6.1 The [[reproductive]] urge unfailingly brings [[men]] and [[women]] together for [[self]]-[[perpetuation]] but, alone, does not insure their remaining [[together]] in [[mutual]] [[co-operation]]—the founding of a [[home]].
84:6.2 Every successful [[human]] [[institution]] [[embraces]] [[antagonisms]] of [[personal]] interest which have been [[adjusted]] to [[practical]] working [[harmony]], and homemaking is no exception. [[Marriage]], the basis of [[home]] building, is the highest [[manifestation]] of that [[antagonistic]] [[co-operation]] which so often characterizes the [[contacts]] of [[nature]] and [[society]]. The [[conflict]] is [[inevitable]]. [[Mating]] is [[inherent]]; it is [[natural]]. But [[marriage]] is not [[biologic]]; it is [[sociologic]]. [[Passion]] insures that man and woman will come together, but the weaker [[parental]] [[instinct]] and the [[social]] [[mores]] hold them together.
84:6.3 [[Male]] and [[female]] are, [[practically]] regarded, two distinct varieties of the same [[species]] living in close and [[intimate]] [[association]]. Their [[viewpoints]] and entire life [[reactions]] are [[essentially]] [[different]]; they are wholly incapable of full and real [[comprehension]] of each other. Complete [[understanding]] between the sexes is not attainable.
84:6.4 [[Women]] seem to have more [[intuition]] than men, but they also appear to be somewhat less [[logical]]. Woman, however, has always been the [[moral]] [[standard]]-bearer and the [[spiritual]] [[leader]] of [[mankind]]. The hand that rocks the [[cradle]] still fraternizes with [[destiny]].[http://www.quoteland.com/topic.asp?CATEGORY_ID=105]
84:6.5 The [[differences]] of [[nature]], [[reaction]], [[viewpoint]], and [[thinking]] between men and women, far from occasioning concern, should be regarded as highly beneficial to [[mankind]], both [[individually]] and [[collectively]]. Many orders of [[universe]] [[creatures]] are created in [[dual]] [[phases]] of [[personality]] [[manifestation]]. Among [[mortals]], [[Material Sons]], and [[midsoniters]], this [[difference]] is described as [[male]] and [[female]]; among [[seraphim]], [[cherubim]], and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_48#48:3._MORONTIA_COMPANIONS Morontia Companions], it has been denominated positive or aggressive and negative or retiring. Such [[dual]] [[associations]] greatly multiply [[versatility]] and overcome [[inherent]] [[limitations]], even as do certain [[triune]] [[associations]] in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_14#14:1._THE_PARADISE-HAVONA_SYSTEM Paradise-Havona system].
84:6.6 [[Men]] and [[women]] need each other in their [[morontial]] and [[spiritual]] as well as in their [[mortal]] [[careers]]. The [[differences]] in [[viewpoint]] between [[male]] and [[female]] [[persist]] even beyond the first life and throughout the [[Ascension Career|local and superuniverse ascensions]. And even in [[Havona]], the [[pilgrims]] who were once [[men]] and [[women]] will still be aiding each other in the [[Paradise]] [[ascent]]. Never, even in the Corps of the Finality, will the creature metamorphose so far as to obliterate the personality trends that humans call male and female; always will these two basic variations of [[humankind]] continue to [[intrigue]], [[stimulate]], [[encourage]], and [[assist]] each other; always will they be [[mutually]] dependent on [[co-operation]] in the solution of perplexing [[universe]] [[problems]] and in the overcoming of manifold [[cosmic]] [[difficulties]].
84:6.7 While the [[Gender|sexes]] never can hope fully to [[understand]] each other, they are [[effectively]] [[complementary]], and though [[co-operation]] is often more or less [[personally]] [[antagonistic]], it is capable of [[maintaining]] and [[reproducing]] [[society]]. [[Marriage]] is an [[institution]] [[designed]] to [[compose]] sex [[differences]], meanwhile effecting the [[continuation]] of [[civilization]] and insuring the [[reproduction]] of the [[race]].
