Spiritualist Views of Marriage

A SPIRITUALIST paper in telling of a man and his wife (Spiritualists) who had concluded “that they could no longer be true to themselves without a separation,” says:— “We honor that decision,—we honor them for making it. Marriage is, with us, sacred, too sacred to be lightly trampled under foot. When it has ended, let the outward semblance cease.”
That is to say, with Spiritualists marriage is sacred as long as a certain man and a certain woman choose to live together. In other words, with Spiritualists marriage is just as sacred as human passion is constant. Such ideas of the sacredness of marriage are strictly compatible with the loosest of adulterous connections.
