In the Baha’i teachings marriage is referred to as “a fortress for wellbeing” and family is considered a fundamental and indispensable unit of society and the mainstay of community life.
In this talk given by Erica Toussaint-Brock called “Family life: Marriage and Relationships and Childhood Education”, Ms. Toussaint-Brock shares her thoughts about living a coherent life from the standpoint of building civilization. She looks at the roles of the individual, marriage and family in the spiritualization of mankind and in attaining unity in all human relationships, whether it’s achieving the equality of women and men or increasing the stability of marriages.
Erica Toussaint-Brock is best known for her down-to-earth application of the Bahá’í teachings in our everyday life. Her presentations are filled with insight, laughter and stories which give us a window into a deeper and more profound understanding of walking our path of spiritual development and service to fellow human beings. She has served variously in Baha’i administrative positions including as an Auxiliary Board member, the Regional Baha’i Council of the Western states and most recently as a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of the United States for 15 years until 2015.
This talk was given at the Grand Canyon Baha’i Conference, 25 December, 2017.
