Is loving a crime if you are already married? If so why?

Answer 1

I don't think so. I suppose it may depend on who you love and how you love them.

Answer 2

That depends on how far the "loving" goes.

If you are talking about relations with someone other than your spouse, while not a crime in most areas, it's still wrong.

If you are talking about loving someone as a dear, close personal friend (it happens-I've been there) then no, there's nothing wrong with it.

Most likely, if you would seek out someone else for any sort of a relationship while married, then there's trouble on the homefront that needs addressed, and loving another is a way to fill the void.

Answer 3

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Answer 4

How are we defining love here? If love is truly wanting the ultimate good for another, no problem. If its fooling around, its a big problem. If its the latter, its really cannot be the former, because those sorts of things are never for the ultimate good of another.

Answer 5

it depends on how you love. Adultery is considered immoral by non christians as well, because it hurts the spouse thats not cheating.

Answer 6

You can love people without having sex with them.

If you are speaking of loving as in sex, in the Christian context, it is against their belief to have sex while unmarried or to have sex with someone other than your spouse.

Are there laws against Adultery? In some states in America, yes, there are. Since those laws are based in religious law they are technically unconstitutional.

Answer 7

No, many married people still love each other.

Answer 8

are we gonna play baby games all day?

laying out question after question within 2 min. intervals just to get a rise is not wise.

Answer 9

Weellll no, I don't think adultery is considered illegal in most states.
I think you meant immoral or inethical.

Answer 10
