1 Corinthians 7 26-1 Corinthians 7 28
I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress— that it is good for a man to remain as he is:Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you.

1 Timothy 5 11-1 Timothy 5 15
But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith.And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.For some have already turned aside after Satan.

Proverbs 5:15-19
Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well.Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets?Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you.Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth.As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love.

Proverbs 19:13-14
A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord.

1 Corinthians 7 39-1 Corinthians 7 40
A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment— and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 7 32-1 Corinthians 7 35
But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord— how he may please the Lord.But he who is married cares about the things of the world— how he may please his wife.There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world— how she may please her husband.And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.
