Nevertheless; notwithstanding it may sometimes be best for persons not to be married, it is in all ordinary cases best that they should be.

His own wife-her own husband; no man is allowed by God to have at once more than one wife, and no woman to have more than one husband. The union for life of one man and woman in marriage is an appointment of God, designed for the continuance and benefit of the human race. All who are in proper circumstances, and are so disposed, ought to be permitted to form such a union; and all who do form it, should faithfully discharge its duties.
