The significance of married life is great indeed. Fortunate indeed is that couple who start married life with right understanding of its importance and greatness. Marriage is a sacred spiritual partnership between two souls who have come upon this earth to evolve an ideal life of nobility, virtue and Dharma and attain their goal of divine perfection through such an ideal life.
Therefore, the home of the married couple is a sanctified centre of spiritual life. The home is their place of worship, prayer, spiritual sadhana and daily meditation . The cultural ideal of your holy motherland, Bharatavarsha, regards this second stage of a person's life, namely, the Grihasthashrama, as the sacred field for the practice of noble virtue, paropakar and dharm and for the awakening of your true inner spiritual nature.
You are divine Atman. You are not merely a physical creature or a mental-intellectual being but you are a spiritual being far superior to the lesser biological and psychological aspects of your temporary human personality. You are divinities without birth or death.
Your eternal, imperishable, immortal, spiritual nature must be realised and experienced in this very life. To attain this wonderful experience the wife and the husband must help each other. They are mutual helpers in this grand adventure of ideal living and spiritual unfoldment.
The home is a sacred arena for the attainment of self-conquest and self-mastery, which is more thrilling than the scaling of Mount Everest.
