Marriage Preparation – Baha’i Faith Based: This is an indispensable, hands-on workbook based on the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith that will first guide your own heart, mind, and soul along the path of self-discovery. Then, it prepares you as a couple through the friendship, courting, parental consent, and engagement processes that lead to marriage. Poetry, prose, spiritual quotations, a couple’s story, insightful perspectives, coaching, discussion questions, cartoons, worksheets, and activities engage you in the enjoyable and practical application of spiritual concepts that apply to the marriage preparation process. Note: The majority of the content is very specific for Bahá’ís or those in relationships with Bahá’ís; the balance is general relationship content.

This book will help you prepare yourself to marry, determine as a couple whether you are complementary for marriage, and if you do marry, this book will help your marriage start off on very solid footing. Why have problems when you can prevent them?!

“A couple should study each other’s character and spend time getting to know each other before they decide to marry, and when they do marry it should be with the intention of establishing an eternal bond.” (On behalf of the Universal House of Justice, Lights of Guidance, #1269)

“Careful preparation for marriage is an essential first step in the preservation of Bahá’í marriage.” (Baha’i World Centre Research Department, Introduction to “Preserving Bahá’í Marriages” compilation, item #3)
