Throughout history babies can and have been born outside of marriages. But they are not so born in sufficient numbers to maintain the race simply because a thousand housewives will have far more children than a thousand prostitutes. As to the fruitfulness of sex relationships within and outside of marriage, there is no comparison. Most married couples both want and have children.

Outside of marriage every effort is made to keep the relationships completely unproductive. Ask young people this question, “If you marry, do you hope to have children?” With few exceptions, the answer is “Yes.” Now ask, “If you were to have sex relationships outside marriage, would you hope to have children?”

The almost universal answer is an emphatic “No.” Ask yourselves these same questions. For reasons which are easy to understand, in sex relationships outside of marriage, children are the exception. Within marriage, children are the rule. If you think sound sex standards are the inventions of narrow-minded moralists, think again!

Sex arise out of the requirements of nature, and especially, of human nature of which you are part. From the standpoint of race survival it is important, not only that babies should be born, but that they should be cared for properly after their arrival.

Of all animals, the human infant is the most helpless, not only at birth, but for the longest time thereafter. While the children are small, both they and the mother need the help and care of the father. In sex relationships outside marriage, the father is less likely to accept such responsibility. Unmarried fathers often become panicky and try to get out from under.

A sex code which limits relationships to marriage best provides that security for mother and child which is essential to the perpetuation of the human race. Sex, then, has essential purposes rooted in human survival. The young couple of today will succeed in their marriage only if they have a sound sex code based upon a clear understanding of the purpose of sex in the long process of human evolution. So for the sake of human race and its survival includes you and your children, think before you have sex.
