One of the most important stepping stones towards successful and content life is marriage and staying faithful to one’s spouse. While pursuing our career dreams and all dreams and goals to make them a reality, we do an effort to read, listen to and see motivational and informative content like books, audios, visuals, and then we conclude certain traits need to be developed to achieve our desired goals, dreams such as,

1- Having a consistent approach in our daily practices

2- Waking up early and perhaps some meditation

3- Never give up on our dreams no matter what

4- Optimism

5- Ignoring criticism and having self-belief

6- Being Spiritual (Religious) to a certain extent

7- Converting our weaknesses into our strengths

Scientific Point Of View

The Aforementioned points are very vital however, one of the most important facts is sometimes missed and not mentioned that is , the benefits of being married and staying faithful. Marriage brings stability, direction and peace of mind in life. As per science and researchers, human beings are made up of mass and energy and they continuously emit positive or negative energy which has a positive or negative influence on the environment and also on the person who enters their life.

The heart is the major source but thoughts, attitudes and emotions play a vital role as well and not to be ignored. Marriage saves us from unnecessary negative and destructive environmental vibes. Happily married couples have low stress, depression and anxiety levels.

As published in Psychoneuroendocrinology, researchers have found that married couples have low-stress levels and experience less psychological stress and depression in comparison to those who are not married and were previously married.

Other than food, drink, shelter, sleep and oxygen human beings have a very special need which is love, affection and bodily desires which are equally important to maintain a balanced and sane life.

“Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires”

-Napoleon Hill

The right way to meet this need is by getting married, I would like to give an example of Traffic light signals, we obey traffic laws, on a red sign we stop, and on a green sign, we continue to go ahead. Similarly, marriage is a Green for us and if we meet this need outside the marital bond it is Red for us, those who decide to go the other way, invite trouble and evil for themselves. Let’s think for a second, If we decide not to obey the laws implemented by our governments, then we should be prepared for the consequences and punishment. Similarly. there are some very important laws of nature and nature has drawn red lines for us not to cross.

Religious Perspective

If we look into a religious perspective, before marriage any sexual activity is called Fornication and an extra-marital affair is called Adultery and no religion encourages such immoral acts.

Psychological Perspective

Now from a Psychological perspective marriage and staying faithful to one’s spouse brings harmony, serenity, better coordination, trust, love, happiness and most importantly success in life.

Marriage is such a precious bond that requires commitment responsibility and accountability, whereas any relationship without marriage has no such legal accountability and responsibilities, people can walk out from their lives easily and that often happens. It’s not that separation does not happen in marriages, it does sometimes when things do not work out and two different minds are not agreed to compromise, so they decide it is time for the Sayonara.
