Spiritual : Presently most of the couples prefer to live in a separate family rather than a joint family. The definition of family system has changed with time. One of these things is change in eating habits. Nowadays, in most families, husband and wife eat food from the same plate. It is believed that this strengthens the relationship between husband and wife and increases love between them.
But in the scriptures it is wrong for husband and wife to eat food from the same plate. Apart from this, in Mahabharata, Bhishma Pitamah (Bhishma) has also said some important things about this.
Why should husband and wife not eat food from the same plate?
Bhishma Pitamah has told some things about an ideal life. Its mention is also found in Mahabharata. Bhishma Pitamah says that a person makes many relationships in his life. Apart from this, a person also has some responsibilities towards his family members. Everyone should fulfill these responsibilities.
Bhishma says, if husband and wife eat food from the same plate, the husband’s love for his wife increases. But that person may ignore other members of the household. This may cause discord in the house. Bhishma Pitamah has also said that this one mistake can destroy the happiness of the entire family and home.
not knowing the difference between right and wrong
Loving one’s wife excessively is tantamount to corrupting the intellect and one does not know the difference between right and wrong. This is not acceptable to the domestic church. Therefore, husband and wife should not eat food from the same plate.
But if the family eats food together then unity and love increases in the family. Apart from this, relationships with each other also become stronger. The feeling of respect towards each other also increases. This brings happiness and prosperity in the house.
This is the mistake to make while eating…
Bhishma Pitamah has also said that if someone crosses the plate of food on which you have grown up, then the food on the plate is considered dirty. This food should be given to .mals. Apart from this, if someone’s foot falls on a food plate, then the food should be thrown after paying obeisance to that plate. This food brings poverty in the house. Also, if hair is found in food then that food should not be eaten. This causes loss of money in the house.
