I
thought myself free several years before I applied for a legal
separation; so that when I did apply it was to me merely a technicality.
Divorce or no divorce you are _tied_ to a man until you think yourself
untied.
Be still and find your mental freedom. Then you will know what to do.

A year after I wrote the above letter to a young woman who wanted to
leave her husband and go to her "soul mate," I received from her another
letter in which she thanked me from her heart for my letter, which, she
said, had saved her from a terrible mistake. She had let time try the
new love; who was found sadly wanting. More than that she had come to
love and respect her husband as never before. Many others, both men and
women, have written me to the same effect.
Can you learn from the experiences of others--learn _caution_ at least?
I hope so. Be _sure_ you are right before you resort to separation.
In the meantime make it the aspiration and business of your life to know
_that_ ALL _things are_ NOW _working for good to you and your mate, and
all you hold in common_.
Keep sweet, dearie, and _let_ them work--at least until you know exactly
_what_ to do, and _how_ to do it; and can feel _sure_ in your heart of
hearts that, _whatever the consequences_, you will never regret
your action.
