A good marriage should grow and develop gradually from understanding and not impulse, from true loyalty and not just sheer indulgence.
A marriage is a partnership of equality, gentleness, generosity, calm and dedication.
Each is complementary to the other; giving strength and moral courage to each other;
supporting and appreciating the other in caring and providing for the family.
Are you wondering what it takes to maintain a truly happy married life? Or what is Buddhist view on marriage?
In this book, Ven.Dr Dhammananda emphasises the important note that marriage is a partnership of two individuals and that this partnership is enriched and enhanced when itallows the personalities involved to grow.
In the Buddhist perspective, marriage means understanding and respecting each other’s beliefs and privacy.
we invariably discover that all these occur due to selfishness, lack of patience, tolerance and mutual understanding.
Since time immemorial, man has worked and struggled very hard to attain happiness. But very often, due to man’s ignorance of the nature of life, he does not know exactly what gives happiness.
It is difficult for man to make a distinction between happiness and pleasure. To him, that which gives pleasure gives happiness, and to be happy is to experience pleasure.
The present day is most timely for a book of this nature to be published.
Providing Buddhist youths with a lucid understanding of life’s imperative matters like love, sex and marriage will not only help them live a happy married life, but
also assist them to lead peaceful and contented lives.
May all beings have happy unions and may all progress well on the path of the Dharma!
