Norseman82 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Considering my recent experience, my first question will be "OK, are you all done with discerning convent/religious life?" [quote name='Era Might' post='1944153' date='Aug 9 2009, 01:10 PM']Remember to think about this too: [/quote] But that's only half the story! Paul also states: "But to avoid immorality, every man should have his own wife and every woman her own husband" (1 Cor. 7:2) and "but if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. It is better to marry than to be on fire" (1 Cor. 7:9) The bottom line is that even though celibacy has been considered a "higher" calling, not everyone can handle it. "To sum up: the man who marries his virgin, acts fittingly; the one who does not, will do better" (1 Cor. 7:38) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffpugh Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 [quote name='Archaeology cat' post='1944302' date='Aug 9 2009, 03:08 PM']But we can't separate ourselves from the world as much in marriage. I mean, a cloister is out in that case, and it isn't feasible to devote all energy to adoration, or daily Mass (this is still sometimes possible, of course). And Paul is clarifying that what he means by worldly things is that each spouse must think of the other, and not just spend the day on their knees. Of course, I'm of the opinion that the entire day can be a prayer of sorts.[/quote] Yeah. Opus Dei style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
