LYL 48.4
(Letters to Young Lovers 48.4)
The mother needs the help of her child, and when she will become a few years older, she will understand better how to choose a husband who will make her life smooth and happy. A woman who will submit to be ever dictated to in the smallest matters of domestic life, who will yield up her identity, will never be of much use or blessing in the world and will not answer the purpose of God in her existence. She is a mere machine, to be guided by another’s will and another’s mind. God has given each one, men and women, an identity, an individuality. All must act in the fear of God for themselves.
