Sadhguru Tips: In today’s world, the dynamics of relationships have evolved significantly. Women of this generation often wonder if they can live up to the standards set by their mothers or grandmothers as “ideal wives.” However, as Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev points out, the roles, expectations, and needs in a marriage have changed with time.
Marriage – A Modern Perspective
According to Sadhguru, trying to be a good wife by following the footsteps of past generations might not work in today’s scenario. The world has shifted, and so have the demands of a marriage. In the past, the idea of a good wife was often linked to fulfilling basic needs, like cooking and managing the household, but today’s partnerships require much more.
In Sadhguru’s humorous analogy, he mentions that while the old saying was “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” today’s men have options like “Uber Eats” and “Swiggy” at their fingertips. The key to being an ideal partner lies not in replicating old patterns but in understanding and adapting to the present.
Marriage is About Need, Not Perfection
Sadhguru explains that marriage is formed out of need—whether emotional, psychological, or physical. Most people require a companion to share their journey with, as navigating life alone can be difficult. It’s essential to understand that the relationship is mutual; both partners should recognize their own needs and those of the other.
A successful marriage, according to Sadhguru, is about acknowledging your own need for the relationship. Rather than thinking someone else needs you, focus on your role in making the partnership work. This leads to gratitude and a more harmonious connection.
Marriages Are Made by Us, Not in Heaven
Sadhguru humorously criticises the notion that “marriages are made in heaven,” calling it the root of many problems. He emphasises that relationships are created here on Earth, between people, and are our responsibility. By understanding that marriage is a decision we make for our well-being, rather than a divine arrangement, we can approach it with a sense of responsibility and realism.
