Marriage Relationship Tips: There is a different perception about marriage in our society. Let us explain what is causing the rift in our relationships and what Sadhguru has to say.

Sadhguru Relationship Tips

Happy Marriage Secrets: We often hear from people around us or at home that "marriages are made in heaven." This sounds good. But Sadhguru believes this notion is completely wrong. He says that this romantic myth is a major reason for the breakdown of many marriages. In his concise yet down-to-earth talk, Sadhguru explains why many relationships fail to stand the test of time. The reason is simple: you start expecting your partner to be the source of your happiness.

What did Sadhguru say?

In a short video shared on social media, Sadhguru discusses the biggest mistake related to marriage. He says, "The biggest mistake humanity has made is that it started saying that marriages are made in heaven. That's why the situation has deteriorated so much." According to him, marriage is not a gift of fate, but a responsibility of two people who strive to live with each other, despite their respective needs.

People often enter marriage with a dream world, a fairy tale, stars in their eyes. But then reality sets in: bills, children, in-laws, disagreements, and conflicts. Gradually, the very partner from whom they hoped for happiness becomes a source of dissatisfaction. This is where people go wrong. Sadhguru says that when you hold your spouse responsible for your happiness, the relationship becomes a burden.

What things are important to keep in mind?

Sadhguru also explains that humans are inherently full of needs. They range from physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial. To fulfill these needs, we often become dependent on one person. But expecting one person to fulfill every need is the beginning of resentment and breakdown. According to him, the way out of this trap is gratitude. If you understand and be grateful that someone is meeting so many of your needs by being with you, the relationship can be sustained. The problem begins when you start believing that the other person wants or needs you more, and respect erodes.

What is not a basic rule of marriage?

Sadhguru says that the fundamental rule of marriage isn't that you squeeze happiness out of someone, or that they squeeze happiness out of you. When two happy people meet, something beautiful can happen between them. But if you're unhappy and want someone to make you happy, that unhappiness multiplies. The truth is, even a simple "thank you" or a little understanding can do wonders for a relationship.
