What happens when love is destroyed in marriage and how can we live while sharing love and raising children?

“

Marriage doesn't kill love; ignorance does. Become a true lover first, and then sharing love and raising children will flow naturally from that harmony.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, marriage doesn't kill love; ignorance does. Love is an art: learning harmony between two different worlds. Become a giver without bargaining; pour love and it echoes back, yet its very giving is joy. Don't hurry to wed; first become a true lover. Then living together, sharing love, and even raising children arise naturally from that cultivated harmony.
Love doesn’t fail because of marriage but because we don’t know how; learn to give love freely and harmonize, and family life flows.
Why this matters practically
- Turns relationships from bargaining into generous sharing
- Builds daily harmony that reduces conflicts at home
- Nurtures a loving atmosphere that supports family and child‑rearing
