1 Corinthians 7:29-31, 33

My friends, what I mean is this. The urgency of our times mean that from now on, those who have wives should live as though without them. And those who weep should forget their tears. And those who rejoice will have no time to celebrate. And those who purchase items will have no time to enjoy them. We are to live as those who live in the world but are not absorbed by it, for the world as we know it is quickly passing away.

But a married man is pulled in two directions, for he is concerned about both the things of God and the things of the world in order to please his wife.
