Research has shown numerous physical and emotional benefits of a happy marital life, and The Bhagawad Geeta, a sacred scripture of Hindu philosophy, contains profound wisdom and values that can contribute to happiness in marital relationships. In this context, this research paper aimed to analyze the content of the Bhagavad Gita and its applicability in fostering happiness and satisfaction within the context of marriage, extracting practical lessons that couples can apply to enhance the quality of their marital relationships. This study tried to explore the timeless spiritual wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita through an analytical and arts-based hermeneutic lens, uncovering foundational values that contribute to marital happiness and life satisfaction. Amidst the modern challenges of marriage, from emotional conflict to shifting expectations, the paper proposes that the Gita offers a deeply relevant framework for relational harmony. can foster resilience, emotional balance, and shared purpose within marital life.
