    “Love and marriage are the supreme test of the health and vigor of every personality…  There is some measure of neurotic taint latent in all of us. Under the intensity of intimacy, either neurosis is gradually eradicated by the gentle ministry of one nature to the other, or it grows, until, like an evil genie it consumes the last fragment of love itself…

 

“Neurosis is the invisible antagonist who takes the place of the self and fights every aspect of intimacy, because love threatens this demon’s domination of person­ality.  It creates a psychic delirium which makes people act contrary to their true natures.”
