[A question by Shri Anil]
Swami replied: Marriage is to get children so that the future human race is available for the entertainment of God whenever He comes to earth. Marriage is not just for physical enjoyment. God created physical enjoyment only to promote marriage. Hence, physical enjoyment cannot be the ultimate aim of marriage. Hence, divorce is a foolish act that is against the will of God. This is the reason why a devotee thinks about second marriage if children are not born. Compatibility should not be the reason for divorce because that is not the main aim. The main aim of marriage is children in the service of God for which compatibility is not at all a point. Of course, compatibility in Spiritual qualities is welcome because a devotee’s wife/husband must cooperate with the Spiritual effort of the devotee.
