‘Practical Common Sense About Marriage.’
1 Corinthians 7:8-15.
Here is godly common sense written by Apostle Paul that is applicable to every culture.
a) 1 Corinthians 7:8. It is better for the unmarried and widows to stay as they are.
b) 1 Corinthians 7:9. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
c) 1 Corinthians 7:10-11. A wife must not separate from her husband. If she does she should remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband.
d) 1 Corinthians 7:11. A husband must not divorce his wife.
e) 1 Corinthians 7:12-13. If our spouse is not a believer that is not a reason for separating from them or divorcing them.
f) 1 Corinthians 7:14. The believing spouse sanctifies the entire family.
g) 1 Corinthians 7:15. If the unbelieving spouse leaves, let them do so. The believing partner is not bound in these circumstances.

Chris.
Although it is clearly a Biblical teaching and principle, yet the subject of the death of the old self is rejected in some Christian circles. People make excuses for their sin, abusing Apostle Paul’s testimony in Romans 7. Let us live as Biblical True Believers, believing and practising the death of the old self.
