Baha'i marriage is the commitment of the two parties one to the other, and
their mutual attachment of mind and heart. Each must, however, exercise
the utmost care to become thoroughly acquainted with the character of the
other, that the binding covenant between them may be a tie that will
endure forever. Their purpose must be this: to become loving companions
and comrades and at one with each other for time and eternity....
The true marriage of Baha'is is this, that husband and wife should be
united both physically and spiritually, that they may ever improve the
spiritual life of each other, and may enjoy everlasting unity throughout
all the worlds of God. This is Baha'i marriage.
