Nothing but the logical interplay of interests and affections. Where there is love‚ it’s like oil‚ the social machinery runs smoothly

The definitions may have some similarities but they have changed dramatically in many more ways. 50 years ago‚ families had rules that were stricter and families were closer in the sense of a relationship.
