He writes on the subject of matrimony:-- Baha'i marriage is union and cordial affection between the two parties.

They must, however, exercise the utmost care and become acquainted with each other's character.

This eternal bond should be made secure by a firm covenant, and the intention should be to foster harmony, fellowship and unity and to attain everlasting life....
In a true Baha'i marriage the two parties must become fully united both spiritually and physically, so that they may attain eternal union throughout all the worlds of God, and improve the spiritual life of each other.

This is Baha'i matrimony.
The Baha'i marriage ceremony is very simple, the only requirement being that the groom and the bride, in the presence of at least two witnesses, each say: "We will all, verily, abide by the Will of God." Divorce In the matter of divorce, as in that of marriage, the instructions of the Prophets have varied in accordance with the circumstances of the times.
'Abdu'l-Baha states the Baha'i teaching, with regard to divorce, thus:-- The friends (Baha'is) must strictly refrain from divorce unless something arises which compels them to separate because of their aversion for each other; in that case, with the knowledge of the Spiritual Assembly, they may decide to separate.

They must then be patient and wait one complete year.
