According to Vedic scriptures the highest spiritual platform is achieving God Consciousness by divine love of God. This spiritual platform of union with the Para Brahman is higher merging with the impersonal Brahman efflugence, which is what most people believe enlightenment or Moksha to be. While the scriptures sanction marriages and it's still possible to hold a marriage and progress spiritually, it's prohibited for those who have renounced life, the sannyasas. This is because material love results in an entangling relationship and family that can stall and slow spiritual practice. Additionally, the desire for love of another being is nothing more than an imperfect reflection of ones dormant love of God. Thus sannyasas are perfectly contented and without desire for a woman because they experience the divine love of God.

And here we see a typical example of the Last Man.

Passions have become alien to him and he views his instincts as a puzzle to be solved. Even worst, he is boring.

Knowledge is rational, understanding is emotional.
