Marriage, Abstinence, and Mutual Duty

1 Corinthians 7:1-7

Now to deal with the questions you wrote about: “Is it good for a man to keep away from women?”

Well, because of the danger of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

The husband should give his wife what she is entitled to in the marriage relationship, and the wife should do the same for her husband.

The wife is not in charge of her own body, but her husband is; likewise, the husband is not in charge of his own body, but his wife is.

Do not deprive each other, except for a limited time, by mutual agreement, and then only so as to have extra time for prayer; but afterwards, come together again. Otherwise, because of your lack of self-control, you may succumb to the Adversary’s temptation.

I am giving you this as a suggestion, not as a command.

Actually, I wish everyone were like me; but each has his own gift from God, one this, another that.
