Meeting Responsibility to Sustain Marriages

The life of the meeting community should sustain and enrich marriages through worship, marriage and family programs, and counselling.

In the event that a couple experiences marital difficulties or contemplates separation or divorce, the meeting should make available to them whatever of its resources may be helpful. A special committee named by Ministry and Counsel may be useful to them. The committee would explore all possible options. If separation or divorce should be decided upon, the committee should assist, in a loving and friendly manner, the couple going through these processes.
