1.From Sati System to Swipe Culture: The Lost Depth of Love

In ancient India, the Sati System — although tragically misused — was born out of an idea of unbreakable love and spiritual commitment. The original intent was not to literally burn widows, but to metaphorically burn their attachment to other men, symbolizing complete surrender to one beloved soul. Unfortunately, it became a horrific social practice.

🧠 What’s relevant today?

We’ve flipped to the other extreme — from painful sacrifice to shallow commitment. Today, relationships are often entered casually — swiping right, fast hookups, and confusing lust for love. If either partner faces emotional discomfort, the common reflex is: “Next!”

📌 Lesson: We need the depth of love without the destructive rituals — the love that requires conscious entry. It also requires mutual respect and lifelong emotional fidelity. Commitment should not be feared but revered.

2.Social Media: The Mirage That Breaks Marriages

Instagram and Facebook, once fun distractions, are now silent killers of many marriages. Why?

• 📸 Curated perfection: People compare their raw reality to the filtered highlights of others.
• 💬 Emotional outsourcing: Instead of fixing things within the relationship, many seek comfort in DMs, likes, or admiration from strangers.
• 🤷‍♀️ Standard collapse: Women with low self-worth often seek rich men to “rescue” them. Men compromise their integrity just to gain physical access to a woman.

🌍 In both the U.S. and India, this leads to a culture of transactional love.
People appear to be in a loving, emotional relationship, but in reality, they’re only staying together for selfish or practical reasons—like financial security, social image, sex, convenience, or fear of loneliness.
This is instead of being driven by principles, patience, and spiritual resonance.

Example :

A couple might post romantic photos on Instagram, but deep down, the woman is staying because of financial dependence, and the man because of physical needs. There’s no emotional or spiritual bond—just transactional survival in disguise.

📌 Lesson: If likes and comments are fulfilling your emotional needs, your marriage is already on shaky ground.
Depending on reels and social media for validation weakens the emotional bond with your real-life partner.
True connection can’t be built on filters and followers.

3.The Netflix Effect: You Become What You Watch

Let’s face it — modern content is entertainment laced with subconscious programming.

“You don’t just watch the movie — the movie watches and molds you.”

Countless shows glamorize:

• Cheating as a thrill
• Love triangles as spice
• Breakups as power moves

📚 Studies in media psychology reveal that repeated exposure to such content subtly shifts relationship expectations and conflict resolution strategies.

The result? You unconsciously:

• Expect drama where there should be peace
• Fantasize betrayal
• Normalize detachment

📌 Lesson: 🛡️ Protect your mind like you’d protect your marriage.
Instead of spending 3 hours watching random web series or movies full of drama and chaos…
Use that time to build a life you truly love.
A life so meaningful, you’d want to live it again and again—like your favorite show.

4. Substances & Animal Instincts: When the Mind Goes Numb

Alcohol. Cigarettes. Recreational drugs.

You know they harm your body — but what they do to your mind (manah) is worse. They suppress the higher intellect, awaken lower instincts, and strip away emotional sensitivity.

What follows?

• 🧊 Emotional numbness
• 😠 Impulsiveness in decision-making
• 🐾 Animalistic tendencies — driven by pleasure, not purpose

Even small relationship disagreements seem unbearable under this foggy mind state.

📌 Lesson: You can’t build a sacred bond when your consciousness is trapped in survival mode.
To love like a human, live like one — with clarity, presence, and purpose.

5.The Disconnection from the Divine Inner Voice

This is perhaps the most ignored but powerful reason marriages fail: a disconnection from the Soul.

The soul — Atman — is your compass, always guiding you toward truth, love, and dharma (righteous action). But when you:

• Wake up late
• Skip spiritual practices
• Stay lost in tamas (inertia) or rajas (overactivity)

…you begin making decisions from fear, desire, or ego — not from clarity.

🧘‍♂️ Practices like:

• Waking up before 5 AM
• Doing morning prayers
• Chanting or meditating
• Surrendering to a higher purpose

…slowly build the sattva guna (purity), which brings better relationships, better judgment, and inner fulfillment.

📌 Lesson: A marriage guided by God consciousness lasts longer than one built only on chemistry. Pray together, grow together.

Wrapping Up: Real Love Requires Real Work

Let’s be honest — marriages are not dying because “love is dead.”

They’re dying because:

• People avoid self-work.
• Spiritual habits are ignored.
• External influences dominate internal clarity.

But now that you know these hidden reasons, you can choose to approach relationships differently. They should be viewed not as a source of pleasure. Instead, see them as a path of evolution.

💡 Whether you’re married, dating, or single — build yourself before building with someone else.
