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.

Advice and Queries

From the beginnings of our Society, we have considered
it necessary to assemble frequently for the purpose of public
worship held in expectant waiting for divine guidance, thereby
manifesting our belief in and dependence upon our creator.
Meeting for worship is fundamental for us, and we should be
diligent and punctual in our attendance. We seek, through
communion with God, the strengthening influence of the Holy Spirit to
enable us to discharge with fidelity the services we owe to God,
to each other, and to all people.
