Remembering the tenderness of Jesus for children, we
recommend that parents and those who have the important
charge of educating youth exercise a loving and watchful care
over them. Meetings are urged to help parents and children
share religious experiences at home and in the meeting for
worship and to give them an understanding of the principles and
practices of Friends.

Advice and Queries

In the contemplation of marriage, Friends should seek
divine guidance. Marriage is a life-long union of spiritual as
well as temporal concerns and presents considerations of vital
importance. When two persons are united in their religious
faith, they are likely to find not only a firmer bond of union but
also greater strength in fulfilling all of life's undertakings.
Therefore, Friends contemplating marriage should early acquaint
their families and meetings with their intentions, seeking their
approval, that they may avoid the far-reaching consequences
of hasty and ill-considered action. It is tenderly recommended
that
Friends keep to the simple and solemn form of our
marriage ceremony.
