association is really benefiting both. The wise Adams and Eves reduce
the friction _by kindness_, by _co-operation with each other_; Adam
_tries_ to please Eve, Eve tries to please Adam, and both are kind about
it, wherefore in due time their _appreciation_ for each other grows, and
mayhap their love grows with it. If love wanes instead of growing at
least they are _friends_, and can _part_ as friends if they so desire.

Someone has well said that without a model husband there can be no model

attraction, or "conditions" (in its last analysis it is _all_ the Law of
Attraction, or _God_) they are literally _one_, no matter how hard they

model, any more than one side of a peach can be _entirely_ ripe and
sweet and the other side entirely hard and green.

So when I speak to Eve about tact and kindness I speak to _the Eve in
Adam_ as well as in Eve herself.

And what I say of the attractions of man and wife applies equally well

slightest degree, _is drawn by the law of attraction because we need him
to bring out some latency in ourselves, and because HE needs us to help
develop some latency in him_. IT IS OUR OWN HIGHEST DESIRES (the god in
us) WHICH CONSTITUTE THE ATTRACTION.

"Oh, but _that_ can't be," you exclaim, "because So-and-So brings out
only the _evil_ in me. He makes me feel _so_ hateful and mean." Let us
see, dearie. _The hateful and mean feelings are due to your RESISTING
