Marriage and the Nuclear Family

1981

A Baha’i Perspective

Dr. Khavari relates that marriage and family are now in a critical condition being attacked both inwardly and outwardly. 'Abdu'l-Baha pointed out that marriage was a divine insitution.

Khavari reviews the purpose of marriage; explains what a sound basis for family formation should be; and points out the proper attitudes about marriage. Dating and courtship are covered. He reviews two forms of healthy communication in a family: 1. man-wife; and 2. group.

Finally he gives a prescription for family well-being.
