What does the scripture say?
While on one hand this ritual is considered very auspicious and necessary for the initial period of marriage, on the other hand a separate warning has been given in the scriptures regarding following it throughout life. In the Anushashan Parva of Mahabharata, Bhishma Pitamah has given some special rules regarding food:
disruption of family balance
According to Bhishma Pitamah, if the husband and wife always eat from the same plate throughout their life, then the husband becomes excessively inclined towards the wife. In such a situation, the husband may forget his duties towards other family members like parents and siblings, which may lead to discord or imbalance in the family.
