A man is born into life from a woman according to the flesh and, again wordlessly uniting with her, his soul dies to God. Just as salt is born from water and again, when it comes into contact with water, it dissolves and disappears, so it is in this matter. Therefore, having been born from a carnal sinful combination, do not cleave again to a sinful carnal combination, lest you melt like salt. For you were not created by God for this purpose, so that you would again turn to the same sinful carnal actions and die, but so that you would ascend and prosper to the original property and to the sinless dispensation from the Lord, seeking the best and most blessed. So, marriage that is legal according to the flesh is still acceptable today, but purity and chastity, to which Adam was originally destined by the Lord, are much better and more glorious. For marriage is only now permitted for a short time by those who do not want to live in purity and understand the highest, or who are unable to do so, but purity endures forever (3). A: Marriage is the Sacrament of unfeigned consent between husband and wife and the preservation of faith and marital love... Q: What is required to be observed during this Sacrament? A: Anyone who wants to enter into the mystery of marriage must, first of all, perform the following pious deeds: 1) fast for some time before marriage; 2) confession and communion of the Holy Mysteries; 3) cleansing from what interferes with marriage; 4) both spouses must maintain faith, honor, and purity; 5) they should not be related to each other by kinship, nepotism 7, should not be brothers-in-law 8, should be Orthodox, free, and so on according to the rules. Q: What grace of God is given in this Sacrament? A: Grace for the honest birth of children, and also for ensuring that love for one’s wife is not an obstacle to love for God. And if someone is attracted to other people’s wives, then although in this case there may be love between the spouses, it is not constant, and there is no longer love for God, but “enmity against God” (Rom. 8:7) (3). Godmother and godmother are godparents of the same person. Property - relationship by marriage. For example, sister-in-law is the sister of the wife. You might be interested in:
