Synopsis Marriage is the union of two individuals which has to be kept stable and permanent till the couple lives. It is not possible for any human being to find such couples who may bid adieu to life at some particular time simultaneously. What is meant by the term "life long" is only a sufficiently long period of life. In the first chapter the author has tried to study the proposed couple, he has tried to study the nature and psychological mould of persons to see if they are at all fit to be married. In the second chapter an attempt has been made to find out if the two persons proposing to marry can tie the nuptial knot. The first thing to be seen is whether providence has any inclination to bless them with marital bliss. If even one of them is deprived from this privilege there is no need to proceed further in the matter. If both them are allowed this privilege the author has to find out whether two persons are meant for each other. This is an attempt to creep into the dark room and arrive at their own conclusion. The basis of their conclusion is the coincidence of the probable period of marriage. If the periods broadly coincide he takes it that they " may be" for each other and proceed further. Next step is to judge the longevity of each of them and their ages of marriage. This gives a fair idea of the probable period of their marriage. This however stands no guarantee for the long continuity of the married life. For an assurance of this point he has judged the unfortunate factors leading to widowerhood.
