The Baha'i Fast (March 2-20) "Thou hast endowed every hour of these days with a special virtue, inscrutable to all except Thee, Whose knowledge embraceth all created things." ~Bahá’u’lláh
"Unity is consciously looking for points of harmony and commonality between people. We bring people together in love, commitment, and cooperation. We focus on finding points of agreement between us. We regard disunity as destructive to our relationship. We build unity through using the character qualities effectively with one another. We draw on one another's strengths and abilities. We use consultation as an important tool to understand our differences and reach a unified decision. We recognize that the success of our marriage is more important than the attainment of one person's goals at the expense of the other. The unity of our marriage is a vital and stable foundation for our children and other family members. It is a force that connects us to people everywhere. It is the bond that keeps our marriage intact, strong, and thriving."
