True union comes after death

We advise no husband or wife, on earth, to separate; but, quite the contrary. All husbands and wives on earth should remain together and be true to each other—the husband as true as the wife—if it is possible for them to do so. We think the present laws of the United States regarding marriage and divorce are just and equitable; for, if those who are married live miserably together the law provides a remedy; and, this is as it should be, and no sane man or woman calls this just law free love. Think of a pure, true, gifted and beautiful woman being united to a wretch calling himself a man—a man so degraded that he is hardly above a beast and in many respects below a beast, for no beast of its own free will ever gets drunk—think of such a woman being obliged to remain with such a creature because she ignorantly made the fatal mistake of marrying him—an abusive, murderous, drunken wretch, false to his marriage vows in every respect, seeking any and all avenues wherein he may basely deceive and betray his wife, betraying any and all women whom he could deceive. 

If you on earth were spirits as we are, and as we do, could look into the secret lives of many wretched beings on earth, you would all agree with us that the divorce law is just and equitable.

To be the wife of a vicious, false and drunken husband, is the lot of thousands of women; and to these the divorce laws are a boon and are strictly just. Not one jot or tittle of free love enters into them; but the true union that comes after death is the just recompense for all these miserable earthly marriages.
