Buddhism encourages nonattachment in romantic relationships.[1] In order to follow the path of enlightenment, Buddhism teaches people to discard all things in life that can cause pain, so one must detach from the idea of a perfect person and instead accept a partner unconditionally.[2] According to Buddhism, unconditional acceptance is how one achieves personal fulfillment in a romantic relationship.

Divorce
Buddhism states that to avoid divorce, older men should not have younger wives and older women should not have younger husbands. This originates from a belief that the age difference would make the couple incompatible and lead to divorce.[3]
