These words do I address to you maidens who are being married,
These counsels do I give to you, bridegrooms,
Heed them in your minds and lay them to heart.
Let each cherish the other with Righteousness.
Then surely the reward of a happy life shall be yours.
gathas of zarathushtra - yasna 53:5 - ±1700 bce.
