Healing Relationships in Marriage

Ruth Eyford works with Couples that are interested in improving their marital relationship. She uses commonly practiced therapies as well as the Baha'i Writings. She says that her use of the Baha'i Writings in improving the relationship of these couples does work. Her goal in writing the paper that is being presented at this conference was to transition our understanding from the philosphical to the practical in assessing and improving relationships.

This paper is presented in three parts: First has to do with the ideal of marriage and what that entails. Second deals with some of the remedies offered by social-scientists, and third is focused on the Baha'i Approach to Healing Marital Relationships.

Ruth and Helgi Eyford both present certain aspects of this paper.
