Krishna’s Answer to “When Should I Marry?” | Divine Wisdom from Sanatan Dharma

Introduction

A Divine Perspective on Life’s Biggest Question

“When should I marry?”

A question we’ve all either asked ourselves—or heard someone else ask—at some point in life. But what if this question was answered not by society, not by a relative, but by Bhagwan Shri Krishna himself?

In a deeply symbolic yet profound dialogue, Krishna explains the perfect timing for marriage—not with dates, but with spiritual milestones. Let’s dive into the eternal wisdom he shares and how it can beautifully shape modern decisions.

🕊️ Krishna’s Answer: The Inner Readiness Over Outer Pressure

In the Short, Krishna says:

“Get married not when you’re lonely, But when you’re ready to share your completeness.”

This is a powerful message. Krishna teaches us that marriage is not about filling a void—it’s about sharing your overflowing self. According to Vedic teachings, true companionship blossoms when:

You’re emotionally stable,
Spiritually aware, and
Capable of giving, not just receiving.

👉 Marriage is dharma, not dependence.

📿 What Sanatan Dharma Teaches About the Right Time to Marry?

In Vedic scriptures like the Manusmriti and Garuda Purana, marriage is not simply a social contract. It’s one of the 16 Samskaras (purificatory rites) in a Hindu’s life.

Key insights from scriptures:

Grihastha Ashrama (the householder phase) is considered the most active and productive phase.
It should ideally begin after Brahmacharya (education and self-discipline).
Inner maturity is considered more important than physical age.

🕯️ Krishna’s Message Aligns perfectly with this:

Don’t marry because your peers are marrying—marry because your soul is ready to embrace responsibility.

💬 Modern Relevance: Why This Message Is More Important Than Ever

In today’s world where:

Marriage is often influenced by peer pressure or age,
Social media highlights weddings more than relationships,
Many marry out of fear of loneliness,

Krishna reminds us that marriage is not a cure for emptiness. It’s a celebration of completeness.
