1 Cor. 7:32 The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided.
I'm not sure I'm following Paul's thought process here. The same could be said for a man who has a job (he's anxious about the job and how to please his company/boss), or children to raise, or a house to clean, or a backyard to mow.
Without all those things we wouldn't be anxious about the duties we have to them. Why is being concerned about how to please my wife seen as a drawback? I find it sanctifying.
