Let Each Woman1 Corinthians 7:2 "Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband." Based on Paul's writing we can safely say that command applies to those who do not desire to be single, but those who want to be married. So with more women in the world than men and a shortage of good men how can a Christian woman "have her own husband"? Those women who are married can say, "Well I have mine". Whether they think it or not there may be some suspicion of other women who haven't found theirs yet. For some women, because of our society today, the only way to get a husband is to take someone else's. I guess that I could add that there are certain types of women that men would not normally choose first because of the idea that they can only take one wife. In later years they may find that kind of woman is many times the kind that makes for a good stable home. When God had Paul write the verse above he was not thinking that women would have to take turns being married or just give up hope altogether. There is only one Godly way for each woman to have her own husband. That is for women to realize that just as they can love all of their children at the same time, God made men to be able to love all of their wives as well.
