“The Apostle Paul recommends it. “

Paul does not recommend it to married couples. He tells them to have sex regularly, except for brief intervals devoted to prayer.

Yes, in general “to those who can bear it.”

It’s a ministry situation to some. To others, physical marriage is a blessing that bears fruit, though differently. There are ministry couples; for example Priscilla and Aquila.

The single would be able to brave more dangers because he does not need to care for a spouse and family. Paul was certainly that way. But a wife provides an additional perspective.

God can gift a believer into either situation.

He also doesn’t recommend having children by other than your own husband. So we’ve got us an unusual situation here.
