When it comes to real happiness, there is no rule that a single woman would be happier than a married woman, or vice versa. Even sharing dinner or being friends with someone means you're not truly single. We must have the sense to relate properly. If you can connect with someone who brings beauty and understanding to your life, nothing like it. But that alone should be the objective of the relationship.

Questioner: Sir, I was reading a study in the 'Times of India.' It said that women are happier being single. Now, when I read this as an Indian woman, brought up in the Indian culture, this is very conflicting because women in India are looked down upon if they are single.
If there is any single girl in your family, then they just want you to get married as soon as possible. So, how do I reconcile this conflict?
Acharya Prashant: There is no rigid rule in this regard. The report that you are quoting says, "Single women are happier." I am assuming that by happiness they mean a higher kind of happiness that includes contentment.
So when it comes to that happiness, that real happiness, there is no rule that a single woman would be happier than a wedded woman, or a family woman, or somebody who is in the relationship, or vice versa. It depends on the quality of your relationship.
