I Corinthians 7 discusses marriage and celibacy. Being unmarried allows one to devote themselves fully to serving God without distractions. Remaining single avoids problems with sexual immorality and the many pressures and preoccupations of married life. The document then lists twelve signs that indicate one should reconsider marriage, such as not knowing each other very long, unhealthy dependency in the relationship, frequent arguing, financial issues, or feeling obligated to marry rather than it being the right decision.
