Marriage is a sacred universal institution that binds two individuals. Critical research is being done in the area of marriage. Due the blow of new lifestyle wind, the marriages as a social institution have come under scanner. It is important to understand whether there are subject relevant factors that can enhance marital quality and reduce disintegration of marriages. However, the Indian philosophy on inherent factors that can enhance quality of relationships is empirically not established. The current study aims to look at Anasakti (non-attachment) as a factor governing Marital Quality. "Anasakti is a psychological construct of the East with its English equivalent being non-attachment, although the meaning of the term is way more deep than the conventional English literal interpretation of it. As cited in the Bhagavad Gita, an individual high on Anasakti has Brahma Vritti, i.e., his thoughts dwell on attaining transcendental knowledge i.e. knowing his highest self'(Talwar, 2012) Vedic literature describes Anasakti as a state of mind that is continuously observing the nature of events and remains unaffected. The research aims to unleash the relevance of Anasakti (non-attachment) in marital quality and satisfaction.Keywords
Marriage, Marital Quality, anasakti.
