I thought you folks might enjoy this article Aaron sent me. Here's a

Methodist Church of the Eastern Regional Conference

Published in the year of our Lord 1894, Spiritual Guidance Press, New
York City.

To the sensitive young woman who has had the benefits of proper
upbringing, the wedding day is, ironically, both the happiest and the
most terrifying day of her life. On the positive side, there is the
wedding itself, in which the bride is the central attraction in a
beautiful and inspiring ceremony, symbolizing her triumph in securing
a male to provide for all her needs for the rest of her life. On the
negative side, there is the wedding night, during which the bride must
pay the piper, so to speak, by facing for the first time the terrible
experience of sex.

At this point, dear reader, let me concede one shocking truth. Some
young women actually anticipate the wedding night ordeal with
curiosity and pleasure! Beware such an attitude! A selfish and sensual
husband can easily take advantage of such a bride.

One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten: GIVE LITTLE,
GIVE SELDOM, AND ABOVE ALL, GIVE GRUDGINGLY. Otherwise what could have
been a proper marriage could become an orgy of sexual lust.
