1 Corinthians 7:34-36
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
34 and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl[a] is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.
36 If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed,[b] if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry—it is no sin.
