"Will their Dream come True, or will Sex Ignorance Mar Their Happiness
Thousands of marriages end in misery and divorce because so many married people are ignorant of the Art of Love. Is your marriage on the brink of ruin? Do you search for the joy of a perfect union? Now YOU can change despair into heavenly happiness - if you know the secrets of the intimate physical contacts of marriage.
Dr. Marie Stopes, in the preface to her world-famous book, says, 'In my own marriage I paid such a terrible price for sex ignorance that I felt that knowledge gained at such a price should be placed at the service of humanity.' This volume, 'Married Love', courageously fulfills this noble purpose.
Married Love
A Solution of Intimate Sex Difficulties by Dr. Marie Stopes
With remarkable frankness, and in simple, understandable language, Dr. Stopes explains the intimate and important details of wedded life. Point by point, and just as plainly as she would tell you in private confidence, Dr. Stopes takes up each of the many troublesome factors in marriage. She makes clear just what is to be done to insure contentment and happiness. She writes directly, forcefully, concretely, explaining step by step every procedure in proper sex relations.

American Biological Society
Federal Judge Lifts Ban
on the famous book dealing with the intimate physical contact of love in marriage
In lifting the ban on 'Married Love' Federal Judge John. M. Woolsey said this famous book 'was neither immoral nor obscene, but highly informative... It pleads for a better understanding by husbands of the physical and emotional side of the sex life of their wives... I cannot imagine a normal mind to which this book would seem to be obscene or immoral.'"

"Am I the woman of a year ago?
I wonder if you remember me - you husbands to whom I said last Christmas the things I could not say to my husband!
I was the woman whose husband gave her each Christmas some pretty trinket. The woman whose youth was slipping from her too fast. The woman whose cleaning burdens were too heavy. The woman who wanted, but could not ask for, a Hoover. I'm not the woman of a year ago.
In one short year I have discovered that youth need not go so swiftly - that cleaning duties need not be burdensome.
For last Christmas my husband did give me a Hoover!
'Give her a Hoover and you give her the best'"
