“聖經”明確鼓勵基督徒們不要結婚。

歌林多前書 7:8 我對著沒有嫁娶的和寡婦說,若他們常像我就好。
Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am.

7:27 你有妻子纏著呢,就不要求脫離。你沒有妻子纏著呢,就不要求妻子。
Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife.


看懂了嗎?很明確:單身的活著守寡的,最好保持單身(stay unmarried)。沒有老婆的,不要去找老婆。

為什麽最好不要結婚呢?“聖經”裏自然也解釋得很清楚:
--------------------------------------------------

7:32 我願你們無所掛慮。沒有娶妻的,是為主的事掛慮,想怎樣叫主喜悅。
I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord\'s affairs--how he can please the Lord.
7:33 娶了妻的,是為世上的事掛慮,想怎樣叫妻子喜悅。
But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world--how he can please his wife--
7:34 婦人和處女也有分別。沒有出嫁的,是為主的事掛慮,要身體靈魂都聖潔。已經出嫁的,是為世上的事掛慮,想怎樣叫丈夫喜悅。
and his interests are divided. 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.
7:35 我說這話,是為你們的益處。不是要牢籠你們,乃是要叫你們行合宜的事,得以殷勤服事主,沒有分心的事。
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.

當然了,“聖經”也說了,結婚不是犯罪。如果實在“欲火攻心”的話,還是結婚吧:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

7:9 倘若自己禁止不住,就可以嫁娶。與其欲火攻心,倒不如嫁娶為妙。
But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.


所以,當兩個基督徒結婚的時候,我們就知道了,這一對基督徒都是出於“欲火攻心”的狀態,已經不能自控了。所以隻好結婚了。
