If marriage partners prevent each other from becoming Baha’i

As to thy question: "If the husband prevents his wife from entering into the Light, or the wife prevents the husband from entering into the Kingdom of God."’ In reality neither one of them prevents the other from entering into the Kingdom of God, unless when the husband has a great attachment to the wife, or the wife to the husband. When either one of the two adores the other instead of God, then each will prevent the other from entering into the Kingdom of God.

-‘Abdu’l-Baha (Star of the West, vol. 9, no. 7, July 13, 1918)
