Excerpts
Table of Contents
Sample Chapter

Marriage Can Be Forever—Preparation Counts! 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. Contains some Bahá’í quotations not available elsewhere. 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.

A Message from Susanne and Johanna

We invite you to walk the “marriage preparation path” with practical feet. As you work through this book, you might be concerned that all this preparation and practicality seem unromantic. We firmly believe that attraction, love, and romance are components of lasting marriages. We also believe that close friendship and compatibility are factors that contribute to lasting attraction, love, and romance. Creating a living, spiritual marriage is far more joyful and lasting than the brief rush that comes from “falling in love.” So, think of this book as a guidebook filled with wisdom for the body, mind, heart, and soul. This outlook will empower you to walk the path and create a firm partnership with someone. The goal is not simply to have an exciting whirlwind romance (which often does not last), but to stay happily married forever.
