“
The young lady who marries a man for the sake of reforming him, or with the expectation of reclaiming him from such dangerous habits as drinking, or other forms of dissipation, incurs a risk of personal danger, the wreck of happiness, and the almost inevitable failure of her efforts, no matter how self-sacrificing and persevering they may be, to which the majority of young women seem to be totally blind. Warnings against so dangerous a course cannot be uttered too frequently.
from the pamphlet “Social Purity,” by J.H. Kellogg, copyright 1891. The more things change, the more they stay the same, AMIRIGHT?!?!
