Question:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Aside from fornication and adultery, what do you think:\u00a0Is it better for a man (woman or man) to marry or to remain single?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When referring to this subject, the Apostle Paul, who was not married, wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.\u00a0But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I.\u00a0But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.\u00a0(1 Corinthians 7:7-9)(NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To better understand what the apostle refers to when he says that each man has his own\u00a0gift from God, I invite you to read the article \u201cHow to find out if you have or don\u2019t have to marry?\u201d.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I <\/span>also invite you to read the article \u201cIs it a sin not to marry?\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
