First Love

People who marry while very young are apt to find out when it is too late that they have made the greatest mistake in their lives and that, though it may seem very sweet to marry "the first and only love," this same "first love" is the very last person in the world that they ought to have married.

Some, indeed, may advise couples to marry before they are out of their teens and settle down before the distractions of the world can attempt to shake their allegiance to each other, but this settling down too often proves to be a mere temporary phase and is followed by an unsettled condition that lasts for the rest of their unhappy lives. Second thoughts are often best in love.
