IT IS THE DIVINE COMMAND AND THEREFORE IT IS MY DUTY TO DO SO
karmic accounts are settled and there is no more debt, the relationship breaks suddenly. But if the runanubandhana is very strong, it results in a long- standing relationship like marriage.
The topic of karma and rna and runanubandhana is a separate subject and I do not want to dwell on that. Suffice it to say that unless there is a karmic bondage attachments do not arise and consequently actions out of attachments also are subject to this law of karma. When two souls who are evolving spiritually come as husband and wife, help each other in their evolution and benefit one another. This is the purpose of marriage. Sometimes (rarely) a very highly evolved being or soul, or spirit or even an avatar is born as two people to accomplish a mission. (Ex:- Lord Krishna and Balarama or Lalaji and Chachaji) After the accomplishment of the mission, they merge back into one. Though very rare, such a divine couple also takes birth in all ages.
