The ideal of conjugal love in Vedas is important and of higher order. Just study the following Mantras and try to invoke the spirit of these Mantras as a part of your life.

Akshav nau madhu sankashe aneekam nau samajanam|

Antah krinushva maam hridi mana ennau sahaasathi|| Atharva 7.3.6

Let the eyes of We husband and wife be showering the sweetest nectar of love. Let our dealings in the life be free and open. Oh dear! [Oh darling!] Secure me in your heart. Let our minds be always together.

Ihe maavindra sam nuda chakravakena dampathi|

Prajainau swastakau vishwamayurvashritham|| Atharva14.2.64

Hey Lord! Inspire these couples to be like that of Chakravaka birds. Let them enjoy full life residing in a good house along with their children.

Yatha vriksham samantham parishswaje|

Yevaa pari shajaswa maam yatha maam kaminasyo yatha mannapaga asah||

Atharva 6.8.1

Just as the creeper embraces the tree from all sides and takes shelter under it, similarly oh woman you also lovingly embrace me and take my shelter. Conduct yourself as one who likes me most. Never forsake me and go away.

Mama tva do shanishrisham krinomi hridayshrisham

Yatha mama krithavaso mama chitha mupayasi|| Atharva 6.9.2

Oh darling! You are in my heart and embrace me within my shoulders and thereby you remain firmly with my heart’s wish and remain in my mind.

Aham Khidami the mano rajashwah pristayamiva|

Resha chinnam yatha thrinam mayee the veshtaam manah|| Atharva 6.102.2

Let the man and woman wish and say this. Oh darling! Just as the way a horse pulls the cart from behind I attract your mind. And the way a blade of grass getting stayed in the grass pitch even a powerful wind sweeps; let your mind be stuck to me.

How noble and inspiring these thoughts on conjugal love! The relations between husband and wife in Vedic Dharma are unbreakable. There are no words such as Talaq or divorce in Vedic Dharma. But such concepts are unthinkable in Semitic faiths. In western countries man getting married and divorsed more than 20-25 times are of normal occurrence.
