Day 11: 1 Corinthians 7 "Marriage"

This section is epic, especially considering what I was talking about a little bit ago with some campers.

Let's try to sum it up: Marry one man (or woman if you are a guy) and stay true to that person.  It is better though for you to not marry at all and stay completely devoted to God.  However, because of our compulsions/passion, it is better to marry than to sin (sexual immorality).

I personally love the part where it talks about why marriage is acceptable but not the best.  It is true that when you get into that type of relationship, your focus goes from all on God to partly on God and partly on that person.  And both Paul and I agree that this is not wrong, it just makes life more difficult.

I guess it is true when they say marriage is just a lot of work, however, it can bring us so much joy as well.  I can't wait ;)
