Should resentment or antipathy arise between husband and
wife, he is not to divorce her but to bide in patience throughout the course of
one whole year, that perchance the fragrance of affection may be renewed
between them. If, upon the completion of this period, their love hath not
returned, it is permissible for divorce to take place. God’s wisdom, verily,
hath encompassed all things.
(Baha’u’llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas)
