As Bahá'u'lláh was so very much against divorce (even though
He permits it) and considered marriage a most sacred responsibility, believers
should do everything in their power to preserve the marriages they have
contracted, and to make of them exemplary unions, governed by the noblest
motives.
(From a letter written on
behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 19 October 1947 to an individual believer; The
Compilation of Compilations vol. I, Divorce)
