To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
CHAPTER VII CONJUGAL RESTRAINT All who look forward to marriage do so as to a state of ideal happiness. Yet how many fail to realize their ideal! It makes you jump, as Ches- terton would say, when you think of what you expected, and compare it with what you have got. So we come round again to the same old theme : if you want to enjoy the Catholic ideal of a per- fect marriage you must follow the Catholic rules. He who wishes for the end wishes also the means to the end. Now one of the chief mea...ns to happiness pro- posed by the Church is conjugal restraint. It would be very strange if in all the other animal tendencies she counselled moderation, and in this allowed unlimited indulgence. Yes, there can be debauchery in the pleasures of married life just as in the pleasures of eating and drinking. Such excess is a violation of the law of nature, and inevitably brings on nature's punishment. In this, as in all other functions of man, virtue, happiness, CONJUGAL RESTRAINT 83 and well-being are to be found in moderation, and moderation is secured by rational restraint.
