Acharya Prashant questions why situations leading to divorce or separation arise in the first place, advising that relationships should be formed with responsibility. He cautions against being too eager to jump into commitments, suggesting that one should spend at least ten years with a person before establishing any legal, social, or religious obligations. He explains that while even ten years may not be enough to know all of a person's facets, it provides a basic understanding. He criticizes the tendency to view people primarily through the lens of sex and gender, urging to see them as human beings first. Why not say two human beings are together, instead of a man and a woman? He questions the perspective that is fixated on gender and sex. Addressing the societal pressure to marry out of fear of future regret, Acharya Prashant states that regret is a possibility whether one marries or not. He points out that there is little evidence of regret among those who do not marry, as they are very few. He challenges those who are married to speak of their own regrets rather than projecting potential regrets onto others. He explains that people are so invested in relationships because everyone seeks freedom from suffering. Consciousness is inherently suffering, but its nature and destiny are bliss. There are two ways to seek freedom from suffering: the real, expensive way, and the fake, cheap way. The real way involves self-improvement, facing challenges, and breaking internal fears and illusions, which is difficult. The cheap way is to find a partner to cling to for physical pleasure and to fill the emptiness in life. This leads to having children and getting entangled in responsibilities, leaving no time to confront one's own suffering. This is a fake way to fill the void in life. When people aged 25-28 feel they have no meaningful purpose, they get married. Acharya Prashant refutes the notion that a woman is complete only after becoming a mother, calling it a foolish and animalistic argument. He emphasizes that one is a human being before being a woman. Quoting Kabir Saheb, he says, "This cage is not yours, O swan! You built a palace by picking pebbles, and people call it 'my home'. Neither is the home yours, nor the cage yours; the bird's shelter is for the night." He defines the difference between a human and an animal: an animal follows nature, while a human follows love. Love is the path that leads to the ultimate truth. He also dismisses the idea that marriage is a product of a civilized society, stating that if individuals are not conscious and self-aware, a live-in relationship is no better than marriage. The core problem is the individual's inner darkness and ignorance. Without inner transformation through self-knowledge, all relationships and life choices will remain flawed.
