[John Leland 1789]

Marriage has a Designer and a design. Marriage has a set of purposes and outcomes determined by the Designer. Marriage is designed to be a type, a picture, a portrayal of something much higher and greater. The product of marriage, children, are a gift and a heritage.

Ignore the Designer and the design----the problem is not with the Designer or the design----it will break and be ruined. Discover the Designer and the design and appreciate the portrayal, steward the heritage . . . . the Designer has a way to Himself be the glue and the joy.

Some times it goes bad even if both parties know the Designer.
