You are asking for my sinful advice and blessing to enter into a legal marriage with the bride you have chosen. If you are healthy and she is healthy, you like each other and the bride is of trustworthy behavior and the mother has a good, unscrupulous character, then you can marry her (2, part 1, p. 206). If the son is healthy and has not promised to become a monk and wants to get married, then it is possible, God bless. And to be more humble, then look. If the mother of the bride is humble, then the bride should be humble, because, according to the old proverb, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” (2, part 1, p. 206). ...N. tells you that divorce between spouses is prohibited by the Lord Jesus Christ. We read the Lord’s own words: But I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for the guilt of fornication, gives her a reason to commit adultery (Matthew 5:32). From this everyone can see that divorce is not unconditionally prohibited by the Lord. If spouses are faithful to each other, then they should not divorce; Otherwise, it is inconvenient to bind spouses. The Holy Church also follows this rule (2, part 1, p. 204). You ask about the marriage of a nephew and niece on relatives, saying that it is now allowed. What's the point if they allow it? There is no marital happiness for this; and the incurable illness of children is reflected in children, and therefore I cannot advise deciding on such marriages (2, part 3, p. 127). You write that you received a letter from Varvara I., in which she writes that a man who lived for some time in Cenobia 11 near the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, and now has left there and taken off his monastic dress, is wooing a girl. ...V.I. instructs you to convey this to me and wants to know my sinful opinion: should this girl marry the said person or not? You can go out; will this be of any use? In the Gospel, the Lord Himself says that he who looks back is untrustworthy for the Kingdom of God (Luke 9:62). And although there were examples of people leaving the monastery and getting married, there was no example of such people being prosperous in their lives. Therefore, it is very unreliable to connect your fate with the fate of such a person; and I, for my part, cannot give my advice to anyone on this, since good consequences and well-being cannot be expected from such a marriage (8, pp. 110–111). Kinovia is a monastery built on communal principles. In the Russian sense, this word means a monastery created at a large monastery, for example, at a monastery. You might be interested in:
