..The Baha'i view is that this involves becoming thoroughly acquainted with both one's own character and that of the proposed partner, so that both can be assured that there is the required maturity on both sides. (78:1) "They must show forth the utmost attention and become informed of one another's character... if the union is merely from the physical point of view unquestionably it is temporal and at the end separation is inevitable. (78:2) "Consequently when the people of Baha desire to enter the sacred union of marriage, eternal connection and ideal relationship, spiritual and physical association of thoughts and conceptions of life must exist between them." ('Abdul-Baha)
(78:3)
