Diploma or marriage?

Diploma or marriage?

Since the time of the prophet Adam, the Creator has given man a religion and it clearly spells out family values.

People got married, created families and had offspring. So it was, is and... will be?

 

 

Since then, many changes have occurred in the way of life of people. But with the appearance of the first man on Earth, that representatives of both sexes must get married remains unchanged.

For hundreds of years, the entire civilised world has been strict in treating extramarital affairs. Many writers have provided examples where characters who did not treat family values properly gradually come to ruin: first spiritually and then physically. This applies to both women and men. Love’s torments, passions and suffering described in novels can be avoided by following religious canons and proper behavior. Previously, no society accepted people who, as they say now, lived in a civil marriage. And it did not matter where it happened. Until people entered into legal marriage, they were not invited into their homes by neighbors, relatives, or acquaintances. It was considered indecent.

But everything changes and religion remains. And to this day, despite the fact that the fashion for European “values” is gradually being introduced in Russia, extramarital affairs are condemned and unacceptable for both society and our Creator. The Almighty created people in such a way that upon reaching a certain age, they begin to experience passion, a desire for intimacy with members of the opposite sex. And these are completely normal physiological processes of the body. But, listening to the desires of the body, a person must understand that they must be realised in a legal way, adhering to the canons of religion. However, understanding and acting are two different things. And since older people are wiser and more intelligent, they must help their children not to commit great sins. That is, they must be married off in time.
