Is there any usefulness in marriage?

definition
"Marriage is not a cage but a crucible, where the fire of love burns away illusions, leading us to the profound truth of ourselves."
According to Osho, marriage is useful: one partner acts as a loving guard against endless desires, giving focus and discipline. More than one creates chaos. Most importantly, marriage shatters romantic illusion and becomes a training ground for awareness—often ripening into renunciation (sannyas). You can’t borrow wisdom here; only living it reveals the truth.
Marriage helps by keeping you from chasing everywhere and by teaching real-life lessons that wake you up inside.
