…the basic concept taught by
Bahá'u'lláh is that the kind of sexuality purposed by God is the love between a
man and a woman, and that its primary (but not its only) purpose is the
bringing of children into this world and providing them with a loving and
protective environment in which they can be reared to know and love God.
