Genesis 2:18 – Is marriage good?

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone: I will make a help-meet for him.


It is inferred from 1 Corinthians 7 that Paul meant marriage as a bad idea to steer clear from. But 1 Corinthians 7 is simply talking about the highest honor one could give to God, a fully devoted life to Him, without a wife and taking care of marital affairs (1 Corinthians 7:32), from which Paul wanted to spare his fellow brothers (1 Corinthians 7:28). He himself says that it’s no sin to marry (1 Corinthians 7:36,38), but it’s simply better not to. Paul could have certainly called marriage honorable and good in that case.
