However one need to understand that getting married is easy. However, maintaining a marriage life is another factor that must be taken seriously.
How Vastu affects one's life?
There are various energies around us that affects us. Though we cant see them, we can only experience the effects of these energies. For example, wind is a form of energy, we can feel like, but cant see it. Same goes to Vastu.
Vastu is all about tapping these energies around us and maximizing its usage to promote our well being. These energies are the cosmic (Pranic) energy from the Northeast, Solar energy from the East and the North-South (Jaivic) Magnetic Energy poles.
We respond to these energies through our energy centers call Chakras. That's why we are able to sense whether the house has a high or low energy level. We can also sense a persons energy level with our chakras. Animals can sense our energy level. If it is low, they will attack, if it is high, they will stay away.
So, if we live in a Vastu positive house, we will be charged these natural energies. Therefore our well being can be improved regardless of religion, race or beliefs.

If there is a door towards the side of the bed, make sure a night table is placed between the door and the bed. Never have two mattress joined to make a single bed.
