While There is Yet Time to Build Baha’i Family Life

1982

There are passages from the writings of Abdu'l-Baha where He says: "Verily, I pray God to make thy home a center for the radiation of light and glowing of His love in the hearts of His people". Celebration in the name of God is indeed it is heavenly home. Heavenly home is one of the guardians of Light. What belongs to home is Comfort and one of the basic components of home is marriage. Baha'u'llah has said: “And when He desired to manifest grace and beneficence to men, and to set the world in order, He revealed observances and created laws; among them He established the law of marriage, made it as a fortress for well-being and salvation, and enjoined it upon us in that which was sent down out of the heaven of sanctity in His Most Holy Book. He saith, great is His glory: “Marry, O people, that from you may appear he who will remember Me amongst My servants; this is one of My commandments unto you; obey it as an assistance to yourselves.” ‘Abdu'l-Baha says; "Regarding the question of matrimony: Know thou that the command  of marriage is eternal. It will never be changed nor altered. This is divine creation and there is not the slightest possibility that change or alteration affect this divine creation (marriage)."
