In plain english he was saying that we needed marriage to stop having wild sex and to be committed to one person.
Hope it helps

I will honor you and give you time...however, I think you are refering to 1Corinthians 7:1-9? If you are, and this is the Book/Chapter/verses, then this decussion is regarding Marriage and Celibacy. *Marriage was looked upon as being a "step down" from celibacy/singleness because one couldn't spend the necessary time becoming whole and holy instruments for the LORD due to the need to nurture and care for his/her spouse. In fact, Paul had to let the people of Corinth know that marriage was not to be viewed as inferior to singleness in any way.
If that wasn't the Book/Chapter/verses, I apologize for posting this response.

***That's interesting...how some people look at singleness as being inferior in our day/society...now that's a good topic/thread for discussion***
