1 Corinthians 7:33

Concerning The Unmarried

³² I want you to be free from anxiety. The unmarried man is anxious about the Master's Cause, desiring to please him; ³³ While the married man is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please his wife; ³⁴ And so his interests are divided. Again, the unmarried woman, whether she is old or young, is anxious about the Master's Cause, striving to be pure both in body and in spirit, while the married woman is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please her husband.
