Christian Quote by Frederick W Robertson

“Marriage is not a union, merely between two creatures, it is a union between two spirits; and the intention of that bond is to perfect the nature of both, by supplementing their deficiencies with the force of contrast, giving to each sex those excellencies in which it is naturally deficient.” quote by Frederick W Robertson
