Marriage and Virginity

The Orthodox Church does not recommend the tauncher to all the faithful. St. John Chrysostom once asked the difference between a married man and a monk and he answered by saying the married man has a wife. This is why in the married life and we'll get to talking about monasticism as living martyrdom, and the married life is also a living martyrdom. We kind of like a little bit chuckle at this but it's true.
