Lesson 7 :Readiness for marriage

Spiritual-Moral Readiness

Happiness and harmony in the marriage and family are directly related to the moral character and spiritual maturity of the individual. Spiritual-Moral readiness for marriage can sustain and nourish the marriage and the individuals in this world and may continue to do so long after the physical bond has been broken. Spiritual-Moral readiness for marriage stands for:

  1. A number of virtues like patience, wisdom, forbearance, humility, selflessness and service. Being able to balance mercy with justice, freedom with responsibility and excellence with humility symbolizes spiritual-moral readiness for marriage. Spiritual maturity results from following the spiritual practices found in the sacred scriptures, such as prayer, meditation, fasting, study and good actions.
  2. Creating equitable relationships. Some agreeable level of equity and justice is necessary for a successful marriage. If either party unjustly and inequitably treats the other, disunity and distress will result.
