…the House of Justice feels it most essential for your
husband and you to understand that marriage can be a source of well-being,
conveying a sense of security and spiritual happiness. However, it is not
something that just happens. For marriage to become a haven of contentment it
requires the cooperation of the marriage partners themselves, and the
assistance of their families.
- The Universal House of Justice (From a letter dated 24 June 1979 written on
behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Preserving Baha’i Marriages)
