Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful.
