God has created such union and harmony between man and
wife that no one can conceive in this world a greater plane of union. You must
irrigate continually the tree of your union with the water of love and
affection, so that it may remain green and verdant
throughout all the seasons, producing the most luscious fruits for the healing
of the nations. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, excerpt from a talk, December 22, 1918, Haifa;
Star of the West, vol. 11, no. 1, March 21, 1920) (To read the entire talk
