Each has his own gift from God.

1 Corinthians 7:6-9, Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Paul gives very practical advice both to the married and unmarried. In his personal case, he was able to exercise self control and focus on his mission. Others need to marry to best fulfill their own needs and mission. We all have our own gifts from God, and He will be able to use us as He sees fit!

Thank You for the gift You have given us that we may bring Your blessing to others through them.
