“I was hard on myself when I got divorced. And until I got remarried, I don’t think I realized how stressed I was. I feel so much relief. I don’t think I realized how stressed I was being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It’s not easy on anybody,” Reese Witherspoon tells Marie Claire.

Prabhupada: “Yes, the difficulty in these marriages is that our brahmacharies are getting themselves married with no means of support.” (Letter to disciple)
Sastra always speaks of qualification: Don’t have children when you are not qualified, don’t become parent when you are not qualified. Remain without children when you’re not qualified, etc.
Conclusion
Women who file for divorce are mainly not divorcing from a qualified husband, someone who actually can call himself husband, but from an incompetent wannabe unable to cope as head of a family or marriage partner.
Since modern Vaishnavas have more or less the same divorce rate than non-Vaishnavas, they should not bother to talk about what is genuine guru-tattva. First learn to ride bicycle, it will help you to balance. Then we’ll see what comes next.
