Mindful Matrimony

Enriching Your Marriage for the Rest of Your Lives

Humanity today finds every bond in flux—from family ties and friendships to political, economic and ecological relationships—leaving many of us adrift amid seismic shifts. The Bahá’í writings foresaw these birthing pains as necessary passage from collective adolescence to global maturity, urging us to embrace upheaval as the forge of a new reality. Only by recognising and transcending unconscious patterns can we harness this transformation for individual and societal growth.

Nowhere is this transition more profound than in marriage, where outdated expectations breed confinement and conflict. A “mindful marriage” awakens partners to expanded requirements of equality, spiritual collaboration and shared purpose. By integrating the “spirit of this age”—principles of unity, consultation and mutual support—couples can transcend past malaise and cultivate unprecedented sources of joy, enrichment and resilience. This book offers a blueprint for navigating relational turmoil and realising marriage’s highest potential as a wellspring of personal fulfilment and collective advancement.
