[QUOTE="OnlyByGrace, post: 1507125, member: 21966"] Roosh, you make great points in this article. Psychologist David Snarch, in his book [I]Passionate Marriage[/I] explains, “If you allow it, the people-growing machinery of marriage results in the simultaneous development of your sexuality, your personhood, and your level of intimacy with your partner.” However, Scripture tells us in 1 Cor 7:8-9, “Now to the unmarried and to widows, I say: it is a good thing for them to remain as they are, as I do, but if they cannot exercise self–control they should marry, for it is better to marry than to be on fire.” So, God is telling us that something about the single life is preferable for a Christian if a person is able to manage it. As always, we know, “the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom” (1 Cor 1:25). So, even though what God is telling us about being single may not make sense, I must defer to God’s wisdom over my own or any other person’s wisdom. [/QUOTE]
