Q: Why does the western fasmily breakdown but not the Indian family.
`: "First, in the west when there is no satisfaction in the sexual relationship, then both will look for another relationship. The man will secretly go to another woman and the woman will go secretly to another man. When each comes to know about the other relationship, both will suffer and then struggle to come to a compromise, trying to mend the relationship and at the end when it is not possible then they seperate. Secondly, when they have children, there is a difference in their sexual relationship and they look for a new relationship. In India, we do not have financial and sexual freedom and also the marriage is arranged by the parents or elders or other family members. Even though some people have all kinds of freedom, still they are afraid to choose their partners because of their culture and also their religious background. They are afraid of karma, of doing something wrong, thinking that the Divine is in everything and they offer their desires to the Divine. Even in India there are cases where people are free, but they are not respected in society. In some cases they are not allowed in temples and in social gatherings, marriages or festival gatherings. In western countries because of sexual freedom, people tend to live together for only some time. When their sexual life is not fulfilled, they seperate. At that moment, they do not see or realise that they are breaking up their own families and also other families. When they fall in love on an emotional level only, they do not comprehend how much they are damaging each other. When people concentrate only fulfillment of sexual desire, nothing else (would be any superficial ideals?), then husband and wife deceive each other. Even if husband and wife live in the same house, the husband has a physical relationship with another woman and the wife has a physical relationship with another man. They neglect their children."
