The man, however, who takes a wife of equal position or poorer than himself takes a helper and ally, and brings every blessing into his house... How many wealthy men who have taken rich wives and increased their substance have yet destroyed their happiness and harmony, as they contend in daily battles at table? How many poor men who have taken poorer wives now enjoy peace and look upon each day's sun with joy?"</blockquote>
