To marry well, think that your wife to be is God-sent. To marry well, think your husband to be is God-sent. And if you think that they're God-sent your whole attitude will change. Your life will change. Your thoughts will change. As Swami Yatiswaranandaji said, 'get into good habits.' The whole world is a habit. Trouble is you've got into a bad habit. Don't get depressed – just try to get into good habit. That is all.
Spirituality in the beginning stages is developing good habits. And when you become good, you'll do good and the good itself will take you above good. That is the idea. To go above bad and…? - good. Can you do that? You can! Otherwise what are we doing here? You have free will – everything is God's will but in choosing bad or good, you have will – make no mistake. Because God has given you that kind of will. It is His will.
