abstract note	A growing body of sociological research has argued that traditional paths to finding a spouse are no longer as effective as they once were. In this changing world, how are Bahá’ís experiencing “singleness,” how are they finding spouses, and how does this affect their religious experience? In seeking to answer these questions we look at several important variables. These include: • Beliefs about what qualities make a good spouse • Expectations for marriage ?? Methods of preparation • Experience of being single in the Bahá’í community • Role of family and friends in finding a spouse Purpose of the Report: This report is intended to inform individuals and institutions about the findings and recommendations from a major research project in the North American Bahá’í community in the hopes that the recommendations can be considered for action, and that the research might stimulate further work on this important topic.
