The family
and marriage in the light of
spiritist teachings
“As time passes, the
advancement of the
Codifier's thinking in
relation to his
contemporaries becomes more
evident, as marriage has
lost, over the years, the
character of a social,
religious act, becoming
conceptualized and respected
as a personal, intimate act.”
These words written by José
Passini is part of the

Family,

legitimacy of marriage is
given by the degree of
responsibility and love that
presided over the formation
of the couple who want to
form a family. The article
