For each conflict situation, one principle must take precedence
over the other.

Note that one must reason from the underlying principles, not
from similar situations.  Example: Two couples live together for
a year and separate.  One couple is married; the other is not.
The situations are similar.  The principles that apply are
different.  They are not in conflict.  The marriage covenant
makes the difference as to which principle applies.

Do not commit fornication        Do not divorce and remarry
