Chawlavaibhav1 ji, Saibji has replied in the best way, a very intelligent reply. However, the fact in today's world, in this Kaliyug, is that being a celibate is much better, if u can have some self control, because you wud be saving urself so many headaches. Grihast itself is a big Tapasya. which won't allow the required peace or contentment to exist, there are bound to be endless demands and clashes with today's egostic so called wives. Any clash or mental tension. negative feelings, or other issues, actually destroy the spiritual ascension you might achieve with a day's niyam , japa, dhyan etc. and may in fact degrade the same. Also it creates a vicious circle of Karma, which may require settlement i9n next births
There are two differing views on the necessity of the Karma to reunite in the next birth if it is avoided in this birth. According to Yoga Philosophy, Gherand Samhita and specially Lord Dattatreya's philosophy. there are three types of Past Karmas, called Prarabdh,Teevra Prarabdh and Tarteevra Prarabdh. The first two, can be stopped by the force of Tapa, i.e. spiritual practice. The various rituals etc. in fact are able to destroy the Prarabdh (previous negetive Karmas but slower), the higher spiritual practice like Japas, dhyan, Ygnas are able to nullify the Teevra Prarabdh. The Tarteevra Prarabdh is stopped by the practice of Higher Yogic Forms like Samadhi, and this is the only Prarabdh which is likely to happen if u r s spiritual practitionar. However if sombody has to have a marriage like Union bcos of Tarteevra Prarabdh, he will never be thinking of Celibacy, because the KARMA FIRST APPEARS IN THE MIND (etherial plane) before manifesting in physical level
