Shoghi Effendi trusts that as a result of his cable and this letter your
wife will be able to devote a little more time to her family, but he also
hopes that you will be able to assist her in obtaining the time and
opportunity to serve a Cause that is so dear and near to her heart and in
which her services are much appreciated.

The Guardian, in his remarks ... about parents' and children's, wives' and
husbands' relations in America, meant that there is a tendency in that
country for children to be too independent of the wishes of their parents

tendency to exert an unjust degree of domination over their husbands,

bear in mind the wishes and the rights of those who are closely connected
in our lives.

If your husband wishes you to remain where you are, certainly there is a
vast field for teaching there....

Wherever there is a Baha'i family, those concerned should by all means do
all they can to preserve it, because divorce is strongly condemned in the
Teachings, whereas harmony, unity and love are held up as the highest
ideals in human relationships. This must always apply to the Baha'is,
