But I would have you without concern. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 7:32 Go To 1 Corinthians 7
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
If we look deeply into his meanings, and interpret them, second marriage will have to be termed no other than a species of fornication. For, since he says that married persons make this their solicitude, "how to please one another".
He renders reasons, likewise, for so advising: that the unmarried think about God, but the married about how, in (their) marriage, each may please his (partner).
