For a happy married life, women worship and fast on holy festivals like Shivratri, Teej, Sawan etc. The big reason behind this is that Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati are the ideals of household life. Lord Bholenath is considered to be the deity of the householder. Girls worship Lord Shiva to get a good and desired groom. Women also observe a fast on Mahashivratri for the long life of their husbands. Mata Parvati and Lord Bholenath were married on the day of Mahashivratri. Therefore, this day is considered special for those who wish for a happy married life. It is said that Bhole Baba is a recluse. Yet their married life has always been ideal for every couple. If you also want a happy married life, then the married couple must learn some things related to the married life of Mata Parvati and Bholenath. In the next slides, know the basic mantra of a happy life from Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati.
husband and wife are oneLord Bholenath is also called Ardhanarishvara. Ardhanarishvara means being half male and half female. It is said that once Lord Bholenath took the form of Ardhanarishvara. This form of her is a lesson for every married couple, which shows that even though the body of husband and wife is different, but both are the same in mind. That is why every husband and wife should get equal rights, equal respect. Often one of the reasons for quarrels in couples is to prove themselves bigger than the partner.
inner loveMother Parvati was a beautiful, gentle and captivating princess, but Bholenath Bhasmadhari was a recluse wearing a garland of snakes around his neck. But still Mother Parvati loved Lord Bholenath. Loved not his complexion but his nature, pure mind and innocence. For household life, it is necessary that the couple should love each other and not give importance to their appearance and money. Love is essential for household life, not money and beauty.
HonestyTrust and honesty are also important in a relationship. Bholenath loves Mother Parvati very much. Both are honest to each other and will do anything for each other’s respect. According to the Puranas, Maa Gauri became sati after being hurt by the insult of Shiva, while Lord Bholenath had come in a fierce form due to the sati of Mata and started doing tandav to destroy the world. It was their love for each other and honesty towards the relationship which every couple should have.
good headEveryone in the family may have different views, likes and dislikes but a good head takes the family along. Lord Shiva is also an ideal head of the family. Lord Shiva has a garland of snakes around his neck, but the vehicles of both his sons are the enemies of the snake. The peacock, the vehicle of Kartikeya, and the mouse, the vehicle of Ganesha, are considered the enemy of snakes. But there was never any enmity in his family about it. Everyone lives together. Similarly, the vehicle of Mata Gauri, the lion and the vehicle of Bholenath, the bull, are also considered enemies of each other, but both live together. Every husband should have the ability to keep the family together even in difficult circumstances.
