Zoroastrianism

Family Life

Marriage and family are sacred institutions supporting creation.

Marriage and family are highly valued. Celibacy is not praised; rather, having children and raising them righteously continues the work of creation. Family life is the proper context for spiritual growth.

One who marries and raises righteous children serves Mazda well.
