Here a genuine doubt may arise as to the disconcerting tendency of picking up groundless quarrels in the minds of love-bound householders and may create an unhealthy atmosphere and impair the proper discharge of the domestic duties; but practical experience has proved it otherwise. It has enriched the pleasures of love, the ultimate fruit of setting up a peaceful family. It must be clearly understood that the temporary pleasant misunderstandings and mock-quarrels occurring in the sexual life tend to tame the latent animal spirit which shows its ugly head, when the male individual gets heated with violent feelings of passion. This is beautifully substantiated in a couplet in the form of a reply of a young wife to her companion who objects to her teasing attitude of unwarranted petulance- She states that even though her husband, is entirely free from any fault, the petulance on her part is “capable of exposing the true nature of his love on her.
