83:7.6 The real test of marriage, all down through the ages, has been that [[continuous]] [[intimacy]] which is inescapable in all [[family]] life. Two pampered and spoiled [[youths]], [[educated]] to expect every indulgence and full [[gratification]] of [[vanity]] and [[ego]], can hardly [[hope]] to make a great success of marriage and [[home]] building—a life-long [[partnership]] of self-effacement, [[compromise]], [[devotion]], and unselfish [[dedication]] to child [[culture]].

83:7.7 The high [[degree]] of [[imagination]] and fantastic [[romance]] entering into [[courtship]] is largely [[responsible]] for the increasing [[divorce]] [[tendencies]] among [[modern]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occident Occidental} peoples, all of which is further complicated by [[woman]]'s greater [[personal]] [[freedom]] and increased [[economic]] [[liberty]].

And in so far as the [[social]] [[group]] falls short of providing marriage [[preparation]] for [[youths]], to that extent must divorce [[function]] as the social safety valve which prevents still worse situations during the ages of the rapid [[growth]] of the evolving [[mores]].
