Swami Mukundananda
How should I behave with my spouse when I become more spiritual and we start to clash?
Behave gracefully with your spouse and close family
Give others the benefit of the doubt, since we do not know their background or why they behave as they do. If someone is a member of your close family, you have to behave gracefully. People who hear lectures for a few days and then announce to the spouse "you are nobody of mine, God alone is mine" are an example of what to avoid.
Very often people hear lectures for a few days, then go home as self-declared knowers of Brahman and announce to the spouse, 'I have understood, you are nobody of mine.'
