### CC Adi 15.26

> গৃহিণী বিনা গৃহধর্ম না হয় শোভন ।\
> এত চিন্তি’ বিবাহ করিতে হৈল মন ॥২৬॥

> gṛhiṇī vinā gṛha-dharma nā haya śobhana\
> eta cinti' vivāha karite haila mana

*gṛhiṇī*—wife; *vinā*—without; *gṛha-dharma*—duties of family life; *nā*—not; *haya*—become; *śobhana*—beautiful; *eta cinti'*—thinking thus; *vivāha*—marriage; *karite*—to execute; *haila*—became; *mana*—mind.

**"Without a wife," Lord Caitanya considered, "there is no meaning to householder life." Thus the Lord decided to marry.**
