1Cor.7:32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 7:33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is no great mystery here when a person is married they are concerned about their mate, or flesh, hence, one flesh more than pleasing the Lord. The person is always balancing their time between the needs of their mate and pleasing Christ Jesus in their flesh, but is this evil? Well, how much spousal abuse has been done behind the thought that the mate is keeping one from serving God, or that being married is really not what a spiritual person should do? Thus, legislating doctrinal rules against such conduct.

Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

However, the truth in context too all of what Paul spoke on this subject was not about good verse evil, but rather why we have tribulation in our flesh when we have a mate. Once again reminding our readers that above Paul speaks too the fact of oppression in our flesh when we have a mate, that is, we are one person before God, subsequently, we have doubled our oppression our flesh against the Spirit creating tribulation. This is a truth, not a judgment of good and evil as many false religions have taught, nothing more. Some of these Christian's had the gift from God not needing a mate, but other needed to marry to control the lust of their flesh, but in any event, both types of person were going to have tribulation just being a part of the body of Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Humans do not change their nature just because they become a Christian's they have the same needs as those not accepting Christ. Do most woman desire a nest, a nice home to take care of, yes! However competing against ones neighbor to have bigger and/or better home is not of Christ. Subsequently, engaging in more work too obtain those things for his wife will cause more tribulation in the one flesh, that is, the husband and wife. This is Paul's simple meaning, a fact of life, what it not, is a sect of a religion that commands people not to marry. or not to own a house, and a host of other false teachings. Furthermore, it not a better righteousness not too marry or too marry, What it is, is a truth of our fallen flesh. If God gives us the gift of self-control than bless yourselves and others using it to God's glory. If not than having faith and love on your part will allow you to be patience not judging others in the body of Christ, in their flesh, which is dead in Christ having not having the gift of self-control in this area.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
