How about cooperation?
In the case of Thirumangai mannan, he cooperated
with Kumudhavalli naachiyar. What came out of this
is there for all to see. In the case of Sri
Ramanuja he had to enter into sanyasam due to
lack of cooperation. Most people would have
acquiesced in favor of domestic peace.
For performing even simple devotional activities
cooperation between spouses is important. Not
many would be prepared to enter into sanyasam
in order to continue with devotional activties.
This, was my point, not that these two great men
needed the approval of their respective spouses.
