The
secret of happy and healthy married life
=Pt. ShriRam Sharma Acharya
Foundation
of happy married life is neither education nor wealth. Many incidents of mutual
enmity, strained relations and divorce amongst educated couples prove that
conjugal happiness does not depend on education. It also does not depend on
wealth, because the latter is only a means to fulfill basic needs of life. Even
if the needs are fulfilled there is no guarantee that the bonds of mutual love
and intimacy will continue to be strong. For happy married life, noble feelings
of mutual sharing and caring and deep soul-level commitment to the sacred bond
are the essential factors.
The
aim of Vedic rituals and rites performed during the solemnization of a
sacramental marriage is to stress that marriage is basically a spiritual union
of two souls and not a mundane contract breakable at the whim and fancy of
either partner. It is an unbreakable bond of soul mates.
The homes where these ideals are followed have always a life full of merriment, laughter and joy. In such homes there is always heaven like atmosphere. The incident belongs to 1912. An English ship named Titanic was sinking in the sea. Rescuers were trying to save precious cargo and passengers by lifeboats.

An English ship named Titanic was sinking in the sea. Rescuers were trying to save precious cargo and passengers by lifeboats.
A
couple named Mrs. Isadore and Mr. Istas were traveling in that ship. By life
boat only one out of them could be saved. Mr. Istas picked up his wife and
shifted her to the lifeboat so that her life could be saved. Mrs. Isadore
jumped back into the sinking ship and thus spoke to her husband "Dear
husband when during the whole of our married life we have remained together
then why should we part now? Since we have lived together, we will die
together." How much intimacy, love and soul kinship is implied in these
words! It is such a mutual bonding that makes married life a happy sacrament.
Love is not based on physical beauty; it requires selfless feelings of glad
giving and service. Love story of army commander of America, Andrew Jackson and
his wife Rachael is world famous. Rachael was uneducated and had normal
features while Jackson was one of the most handsome persons of that time. It
was soul level bond of love, which inspired him to be always loyal and
dedicated to Rachaels love. (Countinue)
