"But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord. But he who is married cares about the things of the world—how he may please his wife." - 1 Corinthians 7:32-33

Context matters. v36: “...he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning.” Nothing there, or related, about “...but if he does he should stop his service to the Lord.” That one situation may be preferable to another, when both are declared good, does not warrant prohibiting the latter.
