What's The Divine Right?

"God is man's supply, and that man can release through his spoken word, all that belongs to him by divine right."

On Marriage by Jane Wells (1886)

It's utterly amazing to discover what this lady wrote more than a century ago holds true even today. Her four simple rules can take us a long way to enjoy a wonderful married life.
Here you go!

  • Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger.
  • Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a bit than to break.
  • Believe the best rather than the worst. People have a way of living up - or down - to your opinion of them.
  • Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship. The person you choose to marry is deserving of the courtesies and kindness you bestow on your friends.
