Does the Bible command that everyone get married?

Answer 1

1Cor:7:9: But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Meaning rather than to have sex outside of marriage (fornication), get married.

1Cor:7:2: Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Another answer:

No, The Bible doesn't command that everyone get married.

In the same chapter as that referenced above, Paul also says, "For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that. But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;" (1 Corinthians 7:7, 8).

Paul points out that the unmarried are free to "care for the things of the Lord" (1 Cor. 7:32), whereas the married must devote time and attention to their spouse as well (v.33). His teaching is that it is good to remain unmarried IF one can do so and avoid sexual sin. If not (as very few are suited to a life of celibacy), it is "better to marry than to burn" (with unsatisfied desire).
