Principles of Marriage

1 Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: aIt is good for a man not to touch a woman.  
2 Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
3 aLet the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.  
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
5 aDo not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that bSatan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.  
6 But I say this as a concession, anot as a commandment.  
7 For aI wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.  
8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: aIt is good for them if they remain even as I am;  
9 but aif they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.  

Keep Your Marriage Vows

10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the aLord: bA wife is not to depart from her husband.  
11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.
