*33but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, *
*34and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. *
I’ve always looked to these verses as support for our celibate priesthood (which I still do). However, yesterday these verses came to me in a different manner…as I pondered the discussions here regarding marital sex.
Thoughts?
