Lord Shiva is the god of household life. Lord Bholenath is the only God, whose marriage and children are famous in mythology. Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati were married in the month of Sawan. For this reason, the month of Sawan is the most beloved of Lord Bholenath. This time Sawan is starting from 22nd July. It is believed that fasting in Sawan gives the blessings of a happy married life.
Every couple can learn from the married life of Mother Parvati and Shiva. Mother Parvati did rigorous penance to get Shiva as her husband, while Shiva did Tandava when Goddess Sati immolated herself, which caused a catastrophe in the world. Every married couple can adopt this unbreakable relationship of Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva and bring happiness in their life.
Right to Equality
Lord Shiva is called Ardhanarishwar. Ardhanarishwar means half man and half woman. In this form of Lord Shiva, half of his form is his and half is of his wife Maa Parvati. This form is considered a symbol of married people, in which the body of the husband and wife may be different but the mind of both is one.
One reason for dispute between husband and wife is to show oneself superior, but if you want to live a happy married life, then adopt this quality of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati. Give your partner equal status.
Love
It is important to have love in the relationship of husband and wife. The companionship of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati is an example for all those who give importance to each other's bank balance, position and beauty during marriage. Mata Parvati liked Shiva Ji who was covered in ashes and had a garland of snakes around his neck. For their married life, love and dedication between the two was important, not beauty and money.
Honesty
Lord Shiva is also called Bholenath, because he is straightforward and innocent. Every girl looks for a straightforward person like Bhole Baba in her life partner. If Lord Shiva wanted, he could have married Goddess Parvati with any appearance or princely image, whereas earlier due to this very image of his, Goddess Sati had to face humiliation in her father's court. But Lord Shiva chose to remain honest in his relationship.
A good leader
Lord Shiva is a good leader for his family. There is no possibility of family strife under his leadership. For example, Lord Shiva has a garland of snakes around his neck, which is the enemy of his son Ganesh's vehicle mouse, but no enmity is seen between the two. In the same way, Goddess Gauri's vehicle is a lion and Lord Shiva's vehicle bull are enemies of each other, but both live together. You can learn from them the quality of handling the family in difficult circumstances.
Responsibility
Discharging the responsibility of the family honestly makes life happy. While Bhole Baba is engrossed in penance, Goddess Parvati takes care of the family, sons and the universe including all the gods and goddesses in his absence. Every husband and wife should discharge the responsibilities of the family together or in each other's absence for an ideal happy life.
