Is finding a partner for life contradictory to the teachings about love, relationship, and let-go?

definition
"Let love decide the duration of your bond; whether for a night or a lifetime, embrace it freely and part gracefully when it fades."
According to Osho, seeking a lifelong partner is not against let-go; it’s consistent when the only bond is living love, not law or habit. Let love decide duration—one night or a lifetime. Stay together freely while love breathes; if it dies, part gracefully, with gratitude, without deceit or compulsion. Let-go rejects both enforced marriage and enforced promiscuity.
You can be with one person forever if love stays alive, and you can lovingly part when it doesn’t—never force it either way.
