83:0.1 This is the [[recital]] of the early beginnings of the [[institution]] of [[marriage]]. It has [[progressed]] steadily from the loose and [[promiscuous]] [[matings]] of the herd through many variations and [[adaptations]], even to the [[appearance]] of those marriage [[standards]] which [[eventually]] culminated in the [[realization]] of pair matings, the [[union]] of [[Monogamy|one man and one woman]] to [[establish]] a [[home]] of the highest social order.

83:0.2 Marriage has been many times in [[jeopardy]], and the marriage [[mores]] have drawn heavily on both [[property]] and [[religion]] for [[support]]; but the real [[influence]] which forever safeguards marriage and the resultant [[family]] is the simple and innate [[biologic]] fact that [[men]] and [[women]] positively will not live without each other, be they the most [[primitive]] savages or the most [[cultured]] [[mortals]].

83:0.3 It is because of the [[sex]] urge that selfish man is lured into making something better than an [[animal]] out of himself. The self-regarding and [[self-gratifying]] [[sex]] [[relationship]] entails the certain consequences of [[Sacrifice|self-denial]] and insures the [[assumption]] of [[altruistic]] [[duties]] and numerous race-benefiting [[home]] [[responsibilities]]. Herein has [[sex]] been the unrecognized and unsuspected civilizer of the [[savage]]; for this same [[sex]] impulse [[automatically]] and unerringly [[compels]] man to [[think]] and [[eventually]] leads him to [[love]].
