I used to worry about the fact that I was getting older and wasn’t married yet. Then it occurred to me one day that there was no reason I had to get married, and suddenly it was like a huge burden lifted off my shoulders.
Then I discovered this:
God bless
Then I discovered this:
[36] If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry -- it is no sin.
[37] But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.
[38] So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better. 1 Cor 7:36-38 RSV
