Jesus says in 1 Corinthians 7 Its better not to be married at all but its better to be married than lustfull so what about love that has nothing to do with lust he doesnt so much as touch that subject in 1 Corintians 7 at all may i remind that that chapter is labeled instructions on marraige

so the question is if you love someone not caring about s*x should you get married

Love and lust are two very different things...if you marry for love, you should..for lust? Good luck - it may be the biggest mistake you'll ever make!

Ignoring opentotruth's comment, I think he's not talking about yay or nay, but rather making the choice for yourself. If you take on that kind of responsibility then don't get married. He's just emphasizing on the importance and real value of marriage.

what i believe god (if there even is one)meant and i still believe it should stand today is if people marry for love and not for lust we would be better off and going into a holy sort of talk basically its a sin to marry for lust and to not marry for love

I think that comment sums it up very well and deserves a merit. Where is a moderator when you need one?

Ima be quite honest here.. Those "religious fanatics" who think that you can't swear or so much as put a finger over the line otherwise you will be struck down by god are real dumb $H!T$.... honestly get a life and stop following the rule of God down to the littlist details. Do you find peace and tranquility in this... Probably not. You find hate and rage as you want to smack everyone not following the rules of God. But don't worry we all wanna smack you upside the head too cuz your so involved in religion.
PS: it would suck to be a priest cuz you could never find true love.

Actually, it does not say in the Bible that priests may not marry. That teaching has pagan roots and was spread with the spread of "christianity."

Although I believe that was applicable in the mosaic law, most of the Law was removed when Jesus arrived.
