36 A man might think that he is not doing the right thing with his fiancée. She might be almost past the best age to marry.[a] So he might feel that he should marry her. He should do what he wants. It is no sin for them to get married. 37 But another man might be more sure in his mind. There may be no need for marriage, so he is free to do what he wants.
