The answer
The creation of Adam and Eve does not mean automatically that everyone should get married. St. Paul is not asking everyone to remain celibate, but he is recommending that if someone has the call to remain celibate, to do so as he himself did. He is not against marriage nor is he forcing celibacy; but as he said "But each has his own special gift from God, one in this manner and another in that" (1 Cor 7:7).Answered by His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef (opens in a new tab)
