7:28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

Oppression in our flesh from marriage what is Paul saying when the world has all these wonderful story of love and happy ever after stuff and nothing else matters until we find someone? Paul state a truth of truth for those in Christ Jesus the idea the world has about marriage is not God's arrangement of marriage, nor is it for the body of Christ Jesus, what does this mean? It means that as body member of Christ Jesus when God tells us we are one flesh with our mate that exactly what He means, and treats us as, one person with two wills!

In other words, now we have two people as one flesh before the Lord, so we have twice as much tribulation in our flesh. Not only do we have to worry about our conduct and spiritual life, but now we are one with another and their life becomes our life. But still we must walk in the law of love, and give our mate all the same rights the love of God gives us, if we overstep ourselves in this manner we will suffer putting too death the Spirit that dwells in both person as one flesh. Now we have double trouble, its one thing to correct ourselves, but quite another in correcting our mate having their own will.

Moreover, we have killed the Spirit within us, by our bad judgment or fleshly act of anger with our mate; pride comes up because both suffer lost of Holy Spirit because they are one before God. Satan now can control both, person in, pride, anger, and the works of the flesh, until peace is made with each other in forgiveness neither can they can walk as one in Spirit before God. This oppression can increases where the separation becomes a competition fighting as too which one is more spiritual, or righteous before God, and favored , but both will suffer lack of God's Holy Spirit as one person not two.

God does not pervert justice and He certainly is not partial if you are married both stand as one before God. If a mate is set upon changing the other, tribulation, and much oppression is going to occur simply because the law of love does not allow for such conduct, The law of love does not allow us take another person free will, but instead too cherish, love, and feed our own body, treating others as we are treated by God in Christ Jesus.
