[h=3]1 Corinthians 7[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[h=3]Principles of Marriage[/h]7 Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me:
It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. 7 For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
Basically this says those who have no self-control should marry. If you are blessed and can live your life devoted to God and not marry then great. Not to agree with what is being said about women by some people, because there are men who are horrible in relationships too. We should not lump everyone in one category. I believe if the right person came along and if it's in God's will then even the person who has vowed to be 'single' will rethink their decision.
Anyways, I don't believe its a time management problem. It's that most of us have a need for a companion and as put here, no self-control. There is so much more to say but I'm keeping it light.
God Bless!
