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.

And also “it is better to marry than to burn [with passion]”. Some folks are more inclined to sex. That isn’t a curse. It is a situation fraught with danger, but not a curse.

I’d also think the idea here is to let the Lord guide, and yes that includes desires that of themselves are not unholy. Not just to do a marriage because “everybody else is doing it.” Maybe in this modern day the advice could be flipped around. Not just to stay single because “everybody else is doing it.”

Each position has an advantage. Paul was able to cowboy for the Lord, so to speak, because he wasn’t hitched. Aquila was able to team with Priscilla to advise unclear believers. Both were blessed; and certainly the one who has “been there and done that” would carry the most credibility when witnessing to troubled couples about the ways in which God blesses marriages.
