My apologies for not being clearer Owl.
Paul seems to indicate that avoiding fornication
is a good reason to marry,
but anyone
"who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will"
should opt to remain unmarried.
And he gives a few good reasons
throughout 1Cor chapter 7.
You had used the analogy of flipping a coin.
Im merely saying that,
unless you are COMPELLED to marry,
(which makes it a matter of choice),
you have no need to flip a coin:
Pauls reasons are a reality:
I suggest you dont marry.
This word from Paul is not just
an antiquity for some ancient race.
I dare say,
ALL the more true today.
Save yourself some serious headaches.
Read the chapter again a dozen times before deciding.
(Im assuming you are "eligible".)
