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.

I agree. Paul says single Christians should remain so if possible (specifies it is his own opinion) and not have sex.

Married couples should have sex.

Both are good.
