C.S. Lewis Quotes

If People Do Not Believe In Permanent Marriage, It Is Perhaps Better That They Should Live Together Unmarried Than That They Should Make Vows They Do Not Mean To Keep. It Is True That By Living Together Without Marriage They Will Be Guilty (in Christian Eyes) Of Fornication. But One Fault Is Not Mended By Adding Another; Unchastity Is Not Improved By Adding Perjury. The Idea That 'being In Love' Is The Only Reason For Remaining Married Really Leaves No Room For Marriage As A Contract Or Promise At All. If Love Is The Whole Thing, Then The Promise Can Add Nothing; And If It Adds Nothing, Then It Should Not Be Made.
