A couple, as defined by God's law, consists of a woman and a man. A couple should represent two people who are connected to each other by love. A relationship without love does not constitute a couple, but two people who walk in parallel and never achieve union. Such relationships are increasingly common today. This shows how far people have separated themselves from God and how little love means to them. They are increasingly focused on money and power, which shows that they are ruled by ego. This means that there is little love, little compassion and little understanding in them.
