Acharya Prashant addresses the question of whether single women are happier than married ones by stating that there is no rigid rule in this regard. He suggests that if a study finds single women to be happier, it is a relative finding that reflects more on the poor quality of the relationships and marriages people enter into. He posits that this situation arises from the poor quality of decision-making among young people, who often get into relationships or marriages not out of genuine understanding but because it is the socially accepted thing to do. Such decisions, made without proper inquiry, lead to unwise choices and mutually destructive relationships where both partners, and consequently their families and children, become unhappy. He uses the analogy that it is better to be single than to be in an unhealthy relationship, just as it is better to fast than to eat contaminated food. The core issue, he explains, is the lack of an inquiring mind. A person must have a mind that seeks clarity, betterment, and upliftment. When one has such a mind, all their decisions, including choosing a partner, will be centered on what is truly uplifting. The objective of life should be to make the best use of it and grow to one's fullest potential. With this intention, one can have a beautiful, elevating relationship. Acharya Prashant provides several signs to determine if a relationship is becoming unhealthy. These include the other person assuming a larger-than-life importance, the thought of them bringing fear or greed, their presence dominating one's mental space, or becoming answerable to them without consent. He advises that one must have the wisdom, guts, and honesty to recognize when a relationship is going foul. The first step should be to try and modify the relationship to bring it back to a healthy state, but one must have the integrity to act on what they know is right, even if it means ending the relationship.
