Parable of the Day: Regarding Unmarried Couples Living Together
Someone
asked a monk:
– You
keep talking about love and the family. What is the difference between a married
couple and an unmarried couple who live together?
The monk
replied:
–
Marriage was created and blessed by the Lord so that love between people would
grow and multiply. Unfortunately, people take advantage of this gift and bring
upon themselves countless sorrows. For instance, you have a car. If it’s yours,
that’s fine — you will use it and have fun. If it’s stolen, you will have to
face lots of trouble and be punished for what you did. Love without marriage is
theft.
