Question: Dear Sayadaw, I am 33 years old this year, I have been divorced for 6 years and have a 7 year old daughter, my family wants to settle down and get married. Do you think I should get married again? I want to find a suitable person to practice together in old age to avoid loneliness. I’m grateful, Sayadaw.

If she is practicing meditation, she should emphasize on practicing meditation to fulfill her needs when there is right time with right person. Thats what she should do. Practicing meditation or mindfulness and detachment is everything. If you practice meditation in the right way you can get everything. Besides you should emphasize to be able to do what you should do.

If you are not sure whether you should marry again or not, you should emphasize on practicing mindfulness and detachment or doing good deeds. In this way, the power of merits or good deeds can give the right decision to marry again or not. Also, you can also learn from the other meditators. There are also many problems like this in Thabarwa center. To make decisions by yourself is difficult, but to make decisions by merits or good deeds is not difficult.
