...presuming you are a Christian, it IS your Christian duty to marry...

"Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry."

1 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV)

I know you're ribbing me, but still:

" Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman. But opposing fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband... He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord; But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please [his] wife."

Only if one's motivation is to be able to focus his entire life on the LORD does Paul permit remaining single; elsewise, he commands marriage.
