Every Man's Battle

Paul is actually addressing a very specific context in the church in Corinth where people were artificially delaying marriage because they felt that it was a less spiritual or less holy state. So I think we have really missed the force of what Paul is saying if we think being kind of horned up with your boyfriend or girlfriend is a good reason to get married like 10 minutes from now. If you're looking at women the same way as you did at the beginning of your sexual experiences, you have some grown up to do. And when you frame it up as such I worry it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
