Case Study from Hindu Mythology and Philosophy

In Hindu mythology, the relationship between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati symbolizes the importance of balance and mutual respect in a partnership. Their union teaches that understanding and accommodating each other's strengths and weaknesses is vital for harmony.

Philosophically, the Bhagavad Gita emphasizes selflessness and duty (dharma) in relationships. This suggests that personal desires should align with the well-being of the partner and the family.
