Lisa asks:<\/p>\n
I just started listening to you guys for about a month now and I really enjoy your show.<\/p>\n
I wanted to know as a couple and as an individual, what is more important to you, love or happiness? Some people choose happiness over love. While some people choose love over happiness.<\/p>\n
Would you stay with someone who you love but you are not happy with that person?<\/p>\n
I am really looking forward to both of your response.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I wrote back and asked:<\/p>\n
Before I answer this, when you say “would you stay with someone,” are you talking about someone you’re dating or someone you married in a the Church (i.e., a Sacramental marriage)?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
She wrote back:<\/p>\n
It could be someone you\u2019re dating or someone you are married in a Church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Simple answer – Would I stay with someone I loved but wasn’t happy with?\u00a0 In the Sacrament of Marriage, absolutely.\u00a0 If I wasn’t married, but just dating?\u00a0 Absolutely not.<\/p>\n
Dating is not a commitment or a vow.\u00a0 And if the goal of dating is to get married, and the person you’re with makes you unhappy, I’d recommend getting out of that one.<\/p>\n
How would you answer this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
