Acharya Prashant critiques the conventional marriage system, which is often based on a desire for security and contractual obligations rather than true freedom. He explains that common love, as depicted in films and stories, is often a form of mutual bondage where individuals seek to possess one another. He suggests that true love is different; it does not require external rituals like fire-circumambulations or priests. Instead, the fire should be in the heart, and the divine should be the witness. He emphasizes that the quality of a relationship depends entirely on the quality of the individuals involved; a person of low character cannot sustain a noble relationship.
