If anyone
is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is
engaged to, and if his passions are too strong and he feels he ought
to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. But the man
who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has
control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the
virgin—this man also does the right thing. 1 Corinthians
7:36-27
Yes,
but that shouldn’t be the only reason.
If sex is that important and the temptation to sin is too great, then
marry, but they will soon realize that sex is not the most important part of
the marriage—but sacrifice, mercy, love, devotion, kindness, serving all take
priority.
Paul
wanted to the couple to know that commitment is better than sin, but don’t
commit if it’s only going to lead to more sin.
