The new child which will soon be given to you by God is,
indeed, a divine blessing, of which you should feel proud, and of the manifold
responsibilities and obligations which it necessarily entails you should become
fully aware. It is now that you can truly say that you have a family life.
Without a child there can be no family, and through him the bonds of love and
of service can be truly and strongly maintained between the wife and husband.
(From a letter dated 4 November 1933 written on behalf of the Guardian; Compilation
on “The Naming of Babies”, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal
House of Justice)
