What does God's Word say about whether a woman should marry; and about the attributes and NT commands concerning married women??
I Peter 3:1-6: Wives be submissive to your husband so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
Ephesians 5:22-24: "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands."
I Corinthians 7:25-28,34,35: Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. Because of the present crises, I think it is good for you to remain as you are. Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife. But if you do marry, you have not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this......An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world--how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.
I Corinthians 7:8 To the unmarried and widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
