Educational Q&A
Marriage and household life should be entered and sustained in accordance with dharma; when a union is formed rightly, it is expected to yield harmony (samprīti) and well-being rather than mere desire or coercion.
Śukra gives an explicit directive and blessing: Devayānī is to be accepted as a lawful wife, and the addressee is urged to live with her so that both may enjoy unsurpassed happiness and mutual satisfaction.
