1 | The worse reason to get married? | 1 Cor 7:9 | billk | 56603 | ||
1cor7-9 "But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion". Isn't this jumping from the frying pan into the fire ??? |

2 | The worse reason to get married? | 1 Cor 7:9 | roviear | 56610 | ||
Bilk, no, it isn't, for the passion Paul is speaking about is sexuality. In fact, by marrying you are removing the pan and fire altogether. If a person is not able to control his or her sexual urges to remain as Paul is (a single, celibate man dedicated to the spreading of the Gospel), then it would be better for people to marry in accordance to God's word and thus, be able to relieve their passions in a manner that brings glory to God. Paul explains in this chapter that those who are married are not as focused on the Lord's plans, for the one must now put concerns of the spouse above all else except for the one's relationship with God.

Estelle you've add some good perspective and context to Paul's words but I still think getting married to avoid sexual sin is a terrible reason to get married....and we're not talking theory here...many Christians get marry too fast and too young for this reason and/or because of guilt ... I have no solutions, just an obversation | ||||||

Bilk, true enough. Hence the reason we should seek God's will in marriage despite our fleshly desires. Unfortunately, too many Christians (even more than non, I might add) are getting divorced because they haven't sought the Lord's will. In Christ, Estelle | ||||||
